Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans
Page 04
to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials
adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When
the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were
limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful
substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of
various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water
vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and
nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants
were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles.
These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the
water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from
human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.
In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the
natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious
chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the
concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual
concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us
little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would
occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts
per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a
natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

D. They have existed since the Earth developed.
86. According to the passage, which of the following is true about human generated air pollution in
localized regions?
A. It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region.
