Chairman : Good morning to everybody . We meet again in a forum event entitled ‘ Air Pollution ’ . As we begin the discussion on this beautiful morning , I invite Vivian to explain the definition of this title .
Vivian : Thank you , Ms. Chairman . Air pollution occurs when the air contains gases , dust , fumes or odour in harmful amounts . That is amounts which could be harmful to the health or comfort of humans and animals or which could cause damage to plants and materials .
Chairman : Oh , good view of you , Vivian . Now I’m even invite Thong Yee to ask her opinion on the causes of the air pollution . Please , Thong Yee .
Thong Yee : Ms. Chairman , as we know , air pollution is both natural and human- based . The main forms of outdoor air pollution include particulate matter , sometimes called black carbon pollution , and noxious gases . Burning fossil fuels to power vehicles , homes and industrial plants releases tiny particles of matter into the air .
Chairman : Now I would like to ask any member of the panel to describe briefly the effect of Air Pollution .
Vin Joe : Ms. Chairman , I would like to try to answer this question . Air pollution spreads easily as it travels into the atmosphere . People get exposed to air pollution not just outdoors .
