Line Graph

The line graph depicts the decline of air pollutants in the UK from 1990 to 2005, highlighting three sources: industry, transport, and households. Industry was the largest contributor, decreasing from 5.5 million tonnes to 2 million tonnes, while total emissions dropped from over 7 million tonnes to approximately 3 million tonnes. In contrast, transport emissions remained stable around 1 million tonnes, and household emissions decreased slightly to nearly 0.2 million tonnes by 2005.

The graph below shows different sources of air pollutants in the UK from

1990 to 2005. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the


main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

MY WORK:

The line graph illustrates the volumes of air pollutants derived from 3 distinct
sources and the total amount in the United Kingdom over a 15-year period
starting in 1990. Overall, industry made the largest contribution to air
pollution, while transport and households remained minor contributors
throughout the period.In general, there was a steady decline in the volumes
of air pollutants over time, particularly from industry.

Starting at around 5.5 million tonnes in 1990, industry activities gradually


reduced their emissions, reaching 2 million tonnes by 2005. The total figure
for all sources of air pollutants followed a similar trend, dropping from over 7
million tonnes in 1990 to approximately 3 million tonnes in 2005.

In contrast to industry, air pollution from transport remained relatively stable


over the period, with emissions fluctuating/varying around 1 million tonnes.
Although households emissions started at a similar level to transport, they
experienced some minor oscillations before steadily decreasing to nearly 0.2
million tonnes by 2005.

In summary, the significant reduction in industrial emissions was the main


driver of the overall decline in air pollution in the UK during the given period.

MODEL ANSWER BY CHATGPT:

The line graph illustrates the amount of air pollutants released into the
atmosphere in the UK from 1990 to 2005, originating from three different
sources along with the total emissions.

Overall, total air pollution levels in the UK experienced a significant decline


over the period, with the exception of transport, which remained relatively
stable. Meanwhile, emissions from industry, despite decreasing steadily,
contributed the largest share, whereas those from households made only a
marginal contribution.

In 1990, the total volume of air pollutants hovered at approximately 7 million


tonnes. Industry was the dominant contributor, accounting for around 5.5
million tonnes, followed by transport and households, both at about 1 million
tonnes. Over the next 15 years, emissions from industry fell sharply,
reaching just 2 million tonnes by 2005. This substantial drop played a major
role in the overall reduction of air pollution, with total emissions decreasing
to roughly 3 million tonnes by the end of the period.

Transport-related emissions showed only minor fluctuatiosn, maintaining a


level slightly above 1 million tonnes throughout the period. In contrast,
pollutants from households exhibited a modest decline. After a minimal rise
in the early 1990s, they decreased steadily to just under 0.3 million tonnes
by 2005.

In summary, the marked/remarkable reduction in industrial emissions was


the key factor behind the overall fall in air pollutants in the UK between 1990
and 2005, while transport and household sources remained relatively minor
in comparison.
