Types of air pollution
Comes from factories, cars, and power plants
Outdoor air pollution
hazy, yellow-brown blanket of smog found over cities that is formed with the help of sunlight, contains ozone near Earth’s surface, and can damage lungs and plants.
Photochemical smog
What is one way to reduce air pollution from cars
Drive less/carpool
what is one way humans negatively impact the enviroment
Littering or dumping waste into natural areas
What number is considered neutral
7
Caused by smoke, cleaning products, and mold
Indoor air pollution
Acidic moisture with a pH below 5.6, that falls on to Earth as rain or snow and can damage forests, harm organism, and corrode structures.
Acid Rain
What is recycling and why does it help air pollution
reudimg mayerialso to cut down on waste
How does deforestation affect the environment
It destroys habitats and reduces the number of trees that Osborn carbon dioxide
What range is considered acidic
Anything below 7
Chemical pollution
Scale used to measure how acidic or basic something is
ph scale
Name a renewable energy source that reduces air pollution
Solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and geothermal energy
How does using gasoline powered lawn equipmen, like leaf blowers and lawn mowers effect the air
They release harmful gases and particles in the air because their engines burn fuel inefficiently
What is considered basic
Anything above 7
Particulate pollution
Substance with a pH lower than 7
Acid
Explain how planting trees reduces air pollution
Trees Osborn pollution and relese oxygen
How does burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change
It releases gases that get trapped in the atmosphere
Why is it Impoetant to measure the ph of water
Because ph affects the health of organisms and can show if pollution is present
Primary component of smog created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds in sunlight
Ground level ozone
Substance with a pH above 7.
Base
Describe how government,ent regulations can reduce industrial pollution
By telling industries to use cleaner energy
How can land developmeny lead to biodiversity
Building cities or farms can harm animals habitats
How can acid rain change the ph of soil and water, and why is that harmful
Acid rain lowers the pH, making soil and water more acidi, which can harm plants, animals, and entire ecosystems.
