CK2 Task 1
Unit 9. Listening. Task 1. Listen to a talk about air pollution and decide whether the
following statements are true or false. You can listen to the recording twice.
There are different types of man-made air pollution. When we burn fossil fuels to produce
energy, they release greenhouse gases into the air. These emissions such as carbon dioxide
and methane trap heat from the sun and Earth's atmosphere and lead to a rise in global
temperatures.
This creates a cycle where air pollution contributes to climate change and climate change
creates higher temperatures. In fact, higher temperatures make some types of air pollution
worse. For example, climate change increases smog because it forms when high heat
appears.
Smog is a type of air pollution that reduces visibility and has serious health effects. Smog not
only creates a brown fog that reduces visibility, but also harms plants, the eyes, and causes
respiratory diseases. Another category of air pollution is toxic pollution.
These are chemicals such as mercury and lead that are released during burning of gasoline.
In addition to harmful environmental effects, toxic air pollution can cause serious health
problems such as cancer. While air pollution has many consequences for our planet, there
are solutions.
We can limit toxic pollution, smog and greenhouse gases by decreasing the use of fossil
fuels such as in transportation and manufacturing. Reducing air pollution not only
contributes to a cleaner environment and better human health, but can also slow the rate of
global warming. Now listen again.
