Answer:

Listed

Explanation:

The three major air pollutants are Carbon monoxide(CO), Particulate Matter(PM10, and PM2.5) and Ozone(O3).

1.Carbon monoxide is colorless, odourless gas, mainly produced due to incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. CO has a great affinity for blood oxygen carrier, haemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin. This substance is very harmful for humans. It can cause headache, dizziness, weakness, neusea, vomiting, and finally loss of consciousness.

2. Particulate matter(PM) are particles of certain size which when enter our body can cause a lot of damage. PMs are linked with pulmonary and cardiac disease. It initiates a lot of lungs and heart diseases. Depending upon the level of exposure PMs can also cause premature deaths.

3.Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen generally found in upper atmosphere in the stratosphere, protects us from harmful ultra violet rays of the sun. The ground level ozone (GLO) are harmful to human health. Ozone can cause risk of respiratory disease like Asthma.

The impact of tropical cyclones in developing countries​
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

(Qin and Stocker 2014). The frequency and intensity of

tropical cyclones will tend to increase further on account

of global warming (Qin 2008; Qin and Luo 2008). On

account of their high frequency and devastating effects,

the United Nations has classified tropical cyclones as one

of the most destructive environmental disasters, second

only to floods (Baez and Santos 2008). Tropical cyclones

pose a great threat to the construction and sustainable

development of human society (Shi 1996) in that they

not only destroy traffic grids, communication facilities,

warehousing, and so on, causing large amounts of property damage, but they also cause human casualties,

spread diseases, and jeopardize the physical and mental

health of humans. Assessing the impact of tropical cyclones on the social and economic development and

mastering the general principle of disasters’ impacts on

social development has become an important topic for

the government, academia, and the public. However,

in terms of the issue ‘‘What are the impacts of tropical

cyclones on employment?’’ previous scholars’ conclusions vary significantly because of the differences in the

research samples and methods.
