| What does air quality tell us about the air we breathe? | how clean (or not clean) the air we breathe is | 7 Air Pollution and its Impact on Children’s Health Do not get into the details of all the exact definitions and answers to these terms just yet. Give the students time to discuss among themselves and guide them in case they do not comprehend the prompts. You can perhaps start with their understanding of the word "quality" and then take it forward from there. The point of these prompts is to get students into an interactive and responsive mode, so they are more receptive. As you navigate from one question to another, be sure to note any common misconceptions that the students have so that you can debunk them as you touch upon these aspects in the later chapters. Air Quality Now, we introduce the idea of air quality to the students. Air quality indicates the condition of the air surrounding us. It tells us how clean (or not clean) the air we breathe is. | 817 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/air11.pdf | It tells us how clean (or not clean) the air we breathe is. | 13 | page=13,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |

| What does PM2.5 and PM10 indicate? | that the substances measured are 2.5 and 10 micrometers respectively. | 15 Air Pollution and its Impact on Children’s Health occurring. Natural occurring aerosols can come from fogs, geysers, or liquid emitted by plants and trees. Man-made or anthropogenic aerosols can come from paints, sprays, and other industrial products. Solid pollutants: Particulate matter and aerosols are the main solid air pollutants. These are very fine solid particles. These particles are very small in diameter measured in micrometres, mentioned earlier. PM2.5 and PM10 indicate that the substances measured are 2.5 and 10 micrometers respectively. Due to their small diameter, our airways are unable to filter them and thus they find their way to our lungs resulting in a severe impact on health. Naturally occurring PM comes from dust, sea spray, forest/ grassland fires, dust storms etc. Anthropogenic PM comes from the burning of fossil fuel. | 488 | definition | 0.980 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/air11.pdf | PM2.5 and PM10 indicate that the substances measured are 2.5 and 10 micrometers respectively.
