What is air quality resilience?

  1. The ability of an ecosystem to recover from air pollution.

  2. The ability of an air pollution control system to maintain its effectiveness over time.

  3. The ability of a community to adapt to the effects of air pollution.

  4. The ability of an individual to tolerate air pollution.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air quality resilience is the ability of an ecosystem to recover from air pollution. This includes the ability of plants and animals to tolerate air pollution, the ability of the ecosystem to absorb and break down pollutants, and the ability of the ecosystem to recover from damage caused by air pollution.

What are some factors that can affect air quality resilience?

  1. The type of air pollution.

  2. The concentration of air pollution.

  3. The duration of air pollution.

  4. The sensitivity of the ecosystem to air pollution.

  5. All of the above.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All of the above factors can affect air quality resilience. The type of air pollution can determine the severity of the effects on the ecosystem. The concentration of air pollution can determine the extent of the damage. The duration of air pollution can determine the length of time it takes for the ecosystem to recover. The sensitivity of the ecosystem to air pollution can determine how easily it is damaged by air pollution.

What are some ways to improve air quality resilience?

  1. Reduce air pollution.

  2. Restore damaged ecosystems.

  3. Educate the public about air pollution.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are ways to improve air quality resilience. Reducing air pollution will help to prevent damage to ecosystems. Restoring damaged ecosystems will help to improve their ability to recover from air pollution. Educating the public about air pollution will help to raise awareness of the problem and encourage people to take action to reduce air pollution.

What are some examples of air quality resilience?

  1. The ability of a forest to recover from a wildfire.

  2. The ability of a wetland to absorb and break down pollutants.

  3. The ability of a city to adapt to the effects of air pollution.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are examples of air quality resilience. A forest's ability to recover from a wildfire is an example of the ecosystem's ability to recover from air pollution. A wetland's ability to absorb and break down pollutants is an example of the ecosystem's ability to absorb and break down pollutants. A city's ability to adapt to the effects of air pollution is an example of the community's ability to adapt to the effects of air pollution.

Why is air quality resilience important?

  1. It helps to protect human health.

  2. It helps to protect the environment.

  3. It helps to save money.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are reasons why air quality resilience is important. Air quality resilience helps to protect human health by reducing the risk of respiratory problems and other health problems caused by air pollution. Air quality resilience helps to protect the environment by reducing the damage caused by air pollution to ecosystems. Air quality resilience helps to save money by reducing the cost of healthcare and environmental cleanup.
