Part 2: The following passage contains 11 errors. Underline each error and correct it (in order). The first one has been done for you.(10 points)

Air pollution are a cause of ill-health in human being. In a lot of countries, there have laws limiting the amount of smoke which factories can produce. Despite there isn’t enough information on the effects of smoke in the atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases. The gas from the exhausts of cars have also increasing air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol products a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas that there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quick as other chilren and are clumsy when they use them hands. There are other long term affects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmest. A lot of the ice near the Poles may melt and may cause serious floods.
