Answer:

POLLUTANT, SOURCE AND IMPACT

Carbon Monoxide

SOURCE:- carbon monoxide main sources are from our homes, eg; wood stoves and fire place, generators, gas stoves, kerosene heaters, leaking chimneys, tobacco smokes etc

IMPACT:- carbon monoxide can cause organ failure as it reduces the amount of oxygen the hemoglobin been carried in the red blood cells to this organs in our body.

Carbon dioxide

SOURCE:- carbon dioxide can be from both human and natural source. Example of the sources includes; natural source ( ocean release, decomposition and respiration), human activities ( burning of coal, oil and natural gas, cement production etc)

IMPACT:- carbon dioxide causes difficulties in breathing as it displaces oxygen in the air.

It also increase the greenhouse effect (global warming) as more heat energy gets trapped by the atmosphere causing the planet to become warmer.

Sulphur dioxide

SOURCE:- sulphur dioxide mainly occur due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion at industrial facilities, in ships etc.

IMPACT:- Sulphur oxide has been linked to many health effect and diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. It also causes respiratory problems, asphlegm and asthma attacks, irritation of lungs, throat and nose as well.

Nitrogen oxides

SOURCES:- nitrogen oxides also comes from human activities such as; combustion of fossil fuel, making of nitric acid, refining metals as well as petrols, explosive, food manufacturing etc.

IMPACT:- Nitrogen oxides has also been linked to many respiratory health issues such as bronchitis and wheezing. It causes the lining of the lungs to inflame there by reduce the immunity of the lungs to respiratory diseases.

Methane

SOURCE:- methane can be from either natural or human activities. The natural source includes; food digestion by cattles, decay of organic materials. Human activities such as waste management, rice production, oil and gas production etc.

IMPACT:- Methane is considered a green house gas like carbon dioxide, it contributes to the trapping of heat energy in the atmosphere which causes global warming. It is also linked to serious health issues such cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.

Particulates

SOURCE:- particulates are fine tiny particles of matter found in the air, it might be in solid or liquid form. Example; dust, smoke, fumes etc. This particles can suspended in the air for an extended periods of time.

IMPACT:- exposure to particulates can cause variety of respiratory health problems such as difficulties in breathing, coughing, lungs and heart problem etc.

Answer:

It ocurred a selection by allopatric speciation

Explanation:

The allopatric speciation refers to the evolution in which the same specie starts developing different characteristics because of geographic barrers and this characteristics after some time generates two different specie.

It happens because usually according to the environment or the predators, species have to develop different adaptations so they can survive. In this case we have two different types of camouflage adaptations made by the salamanders acording to the conditions so for one specie it is better to camouflage from the predator mean while to the other is better to use lived colors to seem as it is a poisonous animal and in this way avoid the predators.

So you can see the same specie develop different strategies to survive because of a geographic separation, generating an allopatric speciation.
