Question 2: Tiny Trouble — Which particle is most harmful? 🫁🔬
- PM10 (particles ≤10 µm) 🟤
- PM2.5 (particles ≤2.5 µm) ⚫
- PM50 (particles ≤50 µm) 🟠
- Visible dust specks 🚫
Question 3: Know the Numbers — AQI alert 🚨📊
- 0–50: Good 👍
- 51–100: Moderate 🙂
- 101–150: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups ⚠️
- 151–200: Hazardous ☠️
Question 4: Smog Type — Which city is known for photochemical smog? 🌆☀️
- London — classic sulfurous smog 🏭

- Soil and rocks releasing radioactive gas beneath buildings 🌋
- Cooking with gas on the stove 🍳
- Dust from old books 📚
Question 8: Acid Rain — Which pollutants make it possible? ☔️🧪
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) alone 🌍
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) forming acids ✅
- Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) mixing naturally ❌
- Helium (He) and neon (Ne) from the air 🪐
Question 9: Pollution Controls — Which tech cleans power-plant emissions? ⚙️🌫️
- Catalytic converter (car tech) 🚗
- Electrostatic precipitator or scrubbers in smokestacks 🏭✅
- Wind turbines (generate energy) 💨
- Solar panels (make electricity) ☀️
Question 10: Climate & Smog — Which gas both warms the planet and helps form smog? 🌡️🌫️
- Methane (CH4) — greenhouse gas that can boost ozone formation 🔥✅
- Nitrogen (N2) — inert and harmless ❌
- Argon (Ar) — contributes to smog 🚫
- Oxygen (O2) — main cause of warming 🌬️
