The answer is correct.

The steel industry is one of the major contributors to air pollution in India. Some of the important pollutants released by the industry include oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen are released during the process of steelmaking, particularly during the burning of coal and other fossil fuels. These gases can react with water vapor in the air to form acid rain, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Carbon monoxide is also released during the process of steelmaking, and it can be dangerous to human health if inhaled in large quantities. Carbon dioxide, although not considered a harmful pollutant, is also released during the steelmaking process and contributes to the overall greenhouse gas emissions.
