Question

What environmental condition contributed to the heat wave experienced in Europe and the thousands of deaths in France? a. polluted water b. sewage c. air pollution d. a and b

Answer 1

Answer: c. Air pollution

Explanation:

There was a heatwave in Europe during the early years of the 21st century that killed tens of thousands across the continent and thousands in France.

Air pollution was blamed for having made the situation worse because the pollutants in the air acted to prevent heat from escaping back into the atmosphere which led to increased heat on ground and therefore a heat wave.
