Hello Elee,
This is a good answer and it is correctly laid out. You have explained what the charts represent and the units used in the first paragraph and then gone on to describe the main points of the graphics. There are a few problems with words and grammar but they do not detract from the meaning. Be careful pollutant is a noun to describe a particular type of pollution. CO2 is a pollutant. You did however us a range of vocabulary so as to not keep repeating yourself.
Well done.
Bob
