This page delves into the specific issues caused by various atmospheric pollutants, providing essential information for students studying atmospheric pollutants bbc Bitesize or similar resources.
Carbon Monoxide (CO):
Highlight: Carbon monoxide is an example that answers the question: "name a pollutant gas that produces respiratory problems. answer in words not symbols."
Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂):
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx):
Carbon/Soot:
Example: Why is releasing particulates a problem gcse students might ask? Particulates contribute to global dimming and cause health issues when inhaled.
Definition: Global dimming refers to the gradual reduction of the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface, which has been observed since the 1950s.
This page provides crucial information on how pollutants are made gcse and their effects, helping students understand the health impacts of atmospheric pollutants and their environmental consequences. It's an essential resource for those studying atmospheric pollutants and their effects at the GCSE level.

This page introduces key concepts related to atmospheric pollutants GCSE and their formation through combustion processes.
Vocabulary: Combustion is defined as the burning of a fuel in oxygen.
Definition: An atmospheric pollutant is a substance that negatively affects the atmosphere.
The page distinguishes between two types of combustion:
Complete combustion:
Incomplete combustion:
Highlight: The combustion of fuels is a major source of atmospheric pollutants ks3 students should be aware of.
The page categorizes pollutants into two main types:
Gas pollutants:
Solid pollutants:
Example: Unburned fuels problems can lead to the formation of carbon monoxide and particulates, which are significant atmospheric pollutants.
