choose the answer A, B, C, or D that you think fits best: A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals vegetations, 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 alteredby various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle 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 form human activities However, human productionusually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycle 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 fora 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 detectablehealth effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, ahs a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm 71 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed 76 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 B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C It willdamage areas outside of the localized regions D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants 77 The word "noxious' in line 16is closest in meaning to A harmful B noticeable C extensive D weak 78 According to the passage, the numerical valued of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area C the naturally occurring level is also known D it can be calculated quickly 79 The word "detectable"in line 21is closest in meaning to A beneficial B special C measurable D separable 80 Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
