    1.Name the type of pollutants.

     Particulate matter (PM)


     Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
     Ozone (O3
     Carbon monoxide (CO)

    2.Name the source of the pollutants.


     O3 and SO2 concentrations change with temperature and sunlight. AAI levels peak in
    October due to agricultural burning and wind patterns.

     The southeast part of Sonipat district has higher concentrations of CO and NO2 due to
    traffic and industrial activity on National Highway 44.

    3.Describe the effect of each pollutant on the environment and humans.


     Particulate matter (PM): Can be harmful to the respiratory system.
     Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): Can cause breathing difficulties and irritation, and can also
    impact soil quality.
     Ozone (O3): Ozone depletion can cause more UV radiation which can eventually lead
    to cases of skin cancer.
     Carbon monoxide (CO): A common air pollutant. Exposure of CO to unborn babies
    can cause adverse developmental effects on the baby.

    4.Describe ways to reduce the pollution


     Particulate matter (PM): Reduce the use of appliances that create PM, avoid burning
    and quit smoking indoors.
     Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): We can reduce NO2 by switching from vehicles using diesel
    engines to electric vehicles.
     Ozone (O3): We can encourage using public transport to reduce emissions dispersed
    in the air.
     Carbon monoxide (CO): We can reduce CO by using an exhaust fan above the gas
    stove which will reduce the quantity of it in the air we breathe.

    5.Name the stakeholders who are affected by this.


    Industrial workers, nearby residents, regulatory bodies, and environmental advocates.
