Multiple choice
It is the degradation or depreciation of the quality of the natural environment due to the accumulation of
harmful materials brought about by the natural processes of the earth but mainly due to human activities.

The "harmful materials" being described in the previous question is generally called?
ecological waste
industrial waste
pollutants
A. Which is/are TRUE about acid rain? i. Formed when secondary air pollutants change physically or
chemically when reacted to water vapor. ii. The increase in the pH level of precipitate due to evaporated
polluted water in seas and ocean. iii. A phenomenon resulted when air pollutants become concentrated in the
atmosphere due to weak wind system. iv. Corrodes industrial materials, historical infrastructures and paints.
Mostly happens during strong wind velocity carrying and dispersing air pollutants in large areas. *
