Primary pollutant

Scoot from smoke

Works by dissolving pull ants in water

Scrubber

Which is NOT part of correction sick building syndrome

Sealing cracks where air leaks into the building

Can lead to allergic reactions to fungi to mold

Sick building syndrome

Temperature inversion: smog::

Sick building syndrome: indoor air pollution

Which is an example of primary pollutant?

Spot from smoke

Acid precipitation is formed when

Sulfur oxides or nitrogen oxides combine with water

Catalytic converts, scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators are ex. Of

Technologies used to control pollution emission

Caused by gases from fossil fuels

Acid Precipitation

Occurs most often in the spring

Acid Shock

Acid precipitation: Canada US air quality agreement::

Air pollution: clean air act

What is NOT a consequence of acid precipitation ?

An increase in the pH of soil and water

Volatile organic compounds

Are organic chemicals that form toxic fumes

Air pollution that scars the lungs

Asbestos

Can lead to difficulty breathing and heart failure

Asbestos

Precipitation is considered acid of pH is

Below 5.0

An increase in the pH of a lake would most likely indicate

Calcium carbonate had been released into the lake

Scrubber: smokestack::

Catalytic converter: tailpipe

Works by giving dust particles an electrical charge

Electrostatic

Which is a natural indoor air pollutant

Formaldehyde

Which would be a potential cause of sick building syndrome ?

Fungi

Particulate matter: primary pollutant::

Ground level ozone : secondary pollutant

Secondary pollutant

Ground level zone

Involved in the formation of smog

Ozone

Acid precipitation: sulfur oxides nitrogen oxides,water::

Ozone: vehicles emissions, sunlight, oxygen

Measure of how acidic or basic a substance is

Ph

Vehicles, industry: outdoor air pollution::

Plastics, building materials: indoor air pollution

During a temperature inversion,

Pollutants are trapped near Earths surface

Uranium bearing rocks underneath a house can be

Radon

Leads to energy waste

Light pollution

Can lead to stress and high blood pressure

Noise pollution

High blood pressure and stress are both human health effects linked to

Noise pollution

Radon: lung cancer::

Noise pollution: hearing loss

Organic chemicals that vaporize readily

VOCs

Two main sources of air pollution in urban areas

Vehicles, industries

Oil refineries and gasoline stations are both sources of

Volatile organic compounds

Shielding : light pollution ::

ZEV: air pollution

10 dB: 40 dB

pH2: pH5

Bronchitis: emphysema::

pneumonia: lung cancers
