2. Changes in climate patterns like El Nino-Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole can make air pollution worse. Examine. (150 words).
Difficulty level: Moderate
Reference: Down to Earth
Why the question: The study by researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore highlighted the role of climate variability phenomena like El Nino-Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole and North Atlantic Oscillation in exacerbating PM2.5 pollution levels. Key Demand of the question: To write about the links between climate patterns like El Nino-Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole and Air pollution. Directive word: Examine – When asked to ‘Examine’, we must investigate the topic (content words) in detail, inspect it, investigate it and establish the key facts and issues related to the topic in question. While doing so we should explain why these facts and issues are important and their implications. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by giving context. Body: In the first part, write about the links between climate patterns like El Nino-Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole and Air pollution – can cause droughts and wildfires, increasing particulate matter and trapping pollutants due to temperature inversions, while reducing rainfall limits the natural cleansing of the atmosphere etc. Cite examples. Next, write about the impact of the above and measures that are needed to overcome the above. Conclusion: Conclude by writing a way forward.
