The provided line graph illustrates the amount of air pollution generated from the three different sources—industry, transport, and households—in the UK over 15 -year period between 1990 and 2005

​

OVERALL

Overall, it is evident that total air pollution in the UK decreased markedly throughout the period, primarily due to a significant drop in industrial emissions. Meanwhile, pollutants from transport and households remained relatively stable, contributing far less to the overall total by comparison.

BODY 1

SAMPLE BODY 1

Looking first at total pollutants and industrial emissions, both followed a downward trajectory. In 1990, total emissions stood at over 7 million tonnes, the majority of which originated from industry. In industry, the 1990s saw the steepest fall, falling rapidly, with total pollutants halving to roughly 4 million tonnes and industrial emissions dropping by an area to around 3 million tonnes by 2005.

SAMPLE BODY 2

Turning to the other sources, transport and household emissions remained comparatively low and stable. Transport pollution hovered just around 1 million tonnes throughout. Household emissions, which started slightly lower, experienced a minor decrease to almost negligible levels by the end of the period. Despite these small variations, their contribution to total pollutants was consistently minimal.
