The pollution index is calculated by dividing the concentration of the pollutant by its safe concentration level
What is the German term for pollution?
Umweltverschmutzung
Air pollution, or in German Luftverschmutzung, is caused by emissions from factories and vehicles.
Water pollution in German is called Wasserverschmutzung and is caused by industrial waste.
What are three main causes of soil pollution (Bodenverschmutzung)?
Pesticides, fertilizers, industrial waste
The Pollution Index formula is Pollution Index = \frac{\text{Concentration of Pollutant}}{\text{Safe Concentration Level}} \times 100</latex>, which measures the level of pollution
Environmental concerns only affect specific regions of the world.
False
