a) CO2 b) CH4 c) O3 d) Rn e) Pb f) CFC g) VOCs h) NOx i) SOx j) N2O
Strong oxidizing agent; product of photochemical reaction Released from furniture, fibers, insulation; causes respiratory irritation Used as coolant, in foams and as a propellant; destroys stratospheric ozone; GHG Gas produced by natural decay of radioactive elements. Can cause lung cancer. Remediate by venting basement or sealing cracks in foundation Produced from burning gasoline; need to form bad ozone Released from melting permafrost ANSWERS: 1) c 2) g 3) f 4) d, 5) h 6) b

7. Areas with what type of climate experiences greatest amounts of photochemical smog? 8. What are human health effects of CO exposure? ANSWERS: 7. hot, dry, sunny 8. Blood (hemoglobin) can’t transport oxygen; get light headed, fall asleep, die

9. In what form is oxygen present in the troposphere. Nitrogen. 10
9. In what form is oxygen present in the troposphere? Nitrogen? 10. What air pollution control devise removes SOx? ANSWERS: 9. O2/ N2 10. Wet scrubber

11. Write the equation for the formation of nitric acid from NO2 12
11. Write the equation for the formation of nitric acid from NO2 12. Write two equations for the formation of tropospheric ozone ANSWERS: 11. 3NO2 + H2O 2HNO3 + NO 12. NO2 + UV NO + O O + O2 O3

13. What are two main caused for rising ocean levels. 14
13. What are two main caused for rising ocean levels? 14. What are effects of rising sea levels on estuary ecosystems? 15. How will human population be effected by rise in sea levels? ANSWERS: 13. 1)Thermal expansion (warmer water=molecules move further apart=take up more volume) 2) Melting glaciers=land ice melts and increases amount of sea water 14. Loss of habitat/breeding grounds/species 15. Damage to property/loss of food/ loss of fishing jobs/ loss or tourism

15. Identified 6 criterion pollutants and made efforts to reduce levels.
16. International Law; Banned CFC production 17. International Law; Reduce GHG Answers: 15. Clean air act 16. Montreal Protocol 17. Kyoto Protocol
