Explanation / Answer

A simple event is one which cannot be broken down further in sub events and hence air pollution level - low is a simple event.

A non - simple event (better known as a compound event), is one which can be broken in smaller subsets. Here we see that air pollution - high is further broken down to high due to factory emmissions and high due to vehicle emmissions.

Therefore:

Air pollution- High is a non simple event and

High due to factory emissions and high due to vehicle emissions are both simple events as they cannot be broken down further.
