Answer :

To fill in the table, we need to match each pollutant with its corresponding impact based on the information given. Let us add ticks in the correct column for each pollutant:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Pollutants & Smog & \begin{tabular}{l}
Photochemical \\
smog
\end{tabular} & Acid rain & \begin{tabular}{l}
Ozone \\
depletion
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
Global climate \\
change
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Chlorine from CFCs & & & & ✓ & \\
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
Sulfur dioxide and \\
nitrogen oxide
\end{tabular} & & & ✓ & & \\
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
Carbon dioxide, \\
tropospheric ozone, \\
CFCs, methane
\end{tabular} & & & & & ✓ \\
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
Nitrogen oxide, \\
tropospheric \\
Ozone, VOCs
\end{tabular} & & ✓ & & & \\
\hline PM10 & ✓ & & & & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}\\

Here’s a summary of the impacts associated with each pollutant:

1. Chlorine from CFCs causes Ozone depletion.
2. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide cause Acid rain.
3. Carbon dioxide, tropospheric ozone, CFCs, methane cause Global climate change.
4. Nitrogen oxide, tropospheric ozone, VOCs cause Photochemical smog.
5. PM10 causes Smog.

These impacts should be marked with a tick in the respective columns of the table.
