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.
