The graph below shows the pollution levels in London between 1600 and 2000. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given line graph illustrates the

level

of contamination in London measured by

micrograms

per cubic

over the course of 400 years starting in 1600. Looking at the graph, it is immediately obvious that both pollutants have experienced dramatic variation throughout the time frame.
