There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most
serious sources are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills. Factory chimneys give out
smoke that contains sulphuric dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with
moisture in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these
acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst
pollution of all. It has harmed aquatic life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of
water. Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous.
In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human beings.
Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that
clean their fuel tanks while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil
into the sea. Pollution of the sea can also be caused by oil spills.
1. What are the most serious sources of pollution ?
a. oil, smoke from house and water. b. acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills.
