Air Pollution Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Air pollution is the mix of gases and tiny solids that build up where we live. Vehicle exhaust and industrial emission release soot and particulate matter small enough to reach deep into the lungs, which can worsen asthma. Sunlight reacting with those gases forms ground level ozone and the brown haze known as smog. A temperature inversion traps it near the surface, cutting visibility for days. A good filter helps indoors. This word puzzle gathers eleven terms.
