Question 1. Choose ONE appropriate question in the box to each paragraph below :

	D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak acid. This "acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it, killing trees in forests and fish in lakes and rivers.
	E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the atmosphere, there'll be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive and it needs all the world's companies to do it.
	F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible. Only use your car when you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is one of the most dangerous ingredients in petrol. Join us, and help us to campaign for cleaner air for everybody.
