Motor vehicles are a major cause of air pollution. They emit a lot of exhaust fumes. In big cities this pollution has
reached levels that pose a threat to health of the city dwellers. Some cities have already advised their residents to wear gas
masks when they venture onto the streets. The only way to reduce this pollution is obviously to reduce the number of vehicles
on the road. This is easier said than done for very few people would want to sacrifice the convenience of having their own
transports.
Factories and industrial plants are largely responsible for pollution of air, water and land. The wastes they discharge
into the rivers and land destroy both. The smoke they emit pollutes the air. What they must do is to find ways to reduce their
wastes. Also, they have to treat their wastes so that they are less harmful. All these things are required if we are to see any
reduction of pollution. At the rate things are going, however, we see the increase in pollution instead.
41. Air pollution is mainly caused by exhaust fumes by motor vehicles.
42. The residents in some cities must wear gas masks when they venture onto the streets.
