Part 1: Sugarcane farmers routinely set their crops on fire to get rid of the surrounding leaves and reveal the sugar-rich stalks beneath. The practice fills the air with smoke, soot, and ash into neighborhoods. Why should the amount of particulate matter (particles in the air) be monitored BEFORE the sugarcane burning?

To ensure the public stays interested in the bird population
To ensure that the filters on the chemical plant stop harming the bird population
To make sure the bird population does not pass on a mutation to a different species
To make sure the pollution from the chemical plant was causing the harm to the bird population
