It seems that your question got cut off. However, I can provide you with examples of common pollutants. Here are several chemicals that are commonly considered pollutants:
1. **Carbon Monoxide (CO)** - A colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
2. **Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)** - A gas produced by volcanic eruptions and industrial processes, particularly the burning of coal and oil.
3. **Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)** - Gases formed during combustion processes, such as in vehicle engines and power plants.
4. **Particulate Matter (PM)** - Tiny particles or droplets in the air that can be harmful when inhaled, often produced by burning fossil fuels.
5. **Lead (Pb)** - A heavy metal that can contaminate air, water, and soil, often from industrial processes or the use of leaded fuels.
6. **Mercury (Hg)** - A toxic metal released into the environment through mining, manufacturing, and burning coal.
7. **Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)** - Organic chemicals that can evaporate into the atmosphere and contribute to air pollution, often emitted from paints, solvents, and fuels.
8. **Pesticides** - Chemicals used for pest control that can become pollutants when they contaminate air, water, or soil.
9. **Phosphates and Nitrates** - Nutrients that can cause water pollution and contribute to algal blooms in freshwater bodies.
If you provide a specific list of chemicals, I can help identify which among them are considered pollutants.
