Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

Air consists of 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Human activities can release substances into the air, some of which can cause prob­lems for humans, plants, and animals.

There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog, acid rain, greenhouse ef­fect, and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious influ­ence on our health as well as the whole environment.

One type of air pollution is the release of particles into the air from burning fuel for energy. The exhaust from burning fuels in automobiles, homes, and industries is a major source of pollution in the air. Even the burning of wood and charcoal can release significant quantities of smoke into the air. Another type of pollution is the release of poisonous gases, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and chemical vapors.

Pollution also needs to be considered inside our homes, offices, and schools. Some of these pollutants can be created by indoor activities such as smoking and cooking. Many of us spend about 80-90% of our time inside buildings, and so our exposure to harmful indoor pollutants can be serious. It is therefore important to consider both indoor and outdoor air pollution.
