Question

explain why components that are naturally found in air can be considered air pollutants.

Explanation:

Pollution is determined by concentration and impact. Even natural - air components can be pollutants when their levels exceed normal ranges, causing harm to living organisms and the environment. For example, carbon dioxide is natural but high levels contribute to global warming; ozone in the troposphere (naturally present in small amounts) can be harmful at elevated levels.

Answer:

Components naturally found in air can be considered air pollutants when their concentrations are elevated beyond normal levels and they cause adverse effects on living organisms, ecosystems, or the overall environment.
