Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes. Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off. Harmful chemicals are in the smoke. The smoke is causing air pollution. The pieces of pollution, called soot, are floating in the air. They are too tiny to see. Scientists must use a microscope to see them.
Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangerous. The government wants to limit this kind of pollution. It may stop people from using their fireplaces.
The air is tested every day. When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop making smoke. The government thinks that limit should be much lower.
Factories produce the most smoke and soot. But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited. The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited. Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law. Or, they may not be able to burn on days when the air quality is bad.
Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban. Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.
Why is the air quality tested every day?
选项
A、Just in case someone asks.
B、Scientists like to take tests.
C、Scientists are not very busy.
D、To keep track of pollution levels.
答案
D
解析
见第三、四段。科学家每天检测,空气中这种有害颗粒的密度。如果密度高于65毫克/立方米(科学家认为这个标准还应下调),工厂应停止排烟,住宅应停止燃烧壁炉,如果住宅没有安装新型低烟壁炉的话。
