volatile organic compounds
particulates
nitrogen oxides
Produced by combustion of fossil fuels, especially gasoline.
•: Formed by the evaporation of petroleum-derived chemical products.
• Primarily released by the combustion of coal, especially by power generators.
•: Occurs in industrial emissions and volatile emissions from animal wastes.

Answer 1

Here’s the matching of air pollutants with their major sources:

1. Ammonia gas: Occurs in industrial emissions and volatile emissions from animal wastes.
2. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Formed by the evaporation of petroleum-derived chemical products.
3. Particulates: Primarily released by the combustion of coal, especially by power generators.
4. Nitrogen oxides (NOx): Produced by combustion of fossil fuels, especially gasoline.
