in which layer of the atmosphere are greenhouse gasses primarily concentrated?
troposhere
a pollutating compound that comes dorectly from smokestacks, exhaust piper or natural emission sources
primary pollutant
this pollutant is a greenhouse gas in the troposphere that breaks down ozone one in stratospher
CFCS
CO2
effect is at high levels it is a deadly gas
CO
in which layer of the atmosphere does most of our weather and climate occur?
troposphere
this pollutant consits of thousands of different solids and liquid particles suspended from in the atmosphere
this greenhouse gas causes the most atmospheric.warming
carbon dioxide
effect is acid deposition
Sulfur oxides
effect is causes lung cancer but has been banned
Asbestos
in which layer of the atmosphere is the ozone layer found
stratosphere
a pollutant produced by the chemical interactions bewteen nitrogen and oxygen. cause when fosiil fuels are xombusted at high tempertaures
nitrogen oxides
A pollutant produced by the chemical interactions between sulfur and oxygen mainly from the combustion of coal
effect is major part of phototchemical smog; greenhouse gas when in the troposphere
Ozone
how many percentage of N2 we breathe
78%
how is tropospheric ozone produced
nitrogen oxides, sunlight, vocs
these pollutants are greenhouse gasses that result from the incomplete concussion of carbon containing compounds such as fossil fuels
carbon oxides
this pollution is typically a hydrocarbon formed by the evaporation of fuse solvent paints and improper combustion of fuel such as gasoline
VOCS
effect is increase asthma symptoms
Particulate Matter
how many percentage of O2 we breathe
21%
how many percentage of CO2 we breathe
0.04%
A primary pollutant that has undergone a transformation in the presence of sunlight water oxygen and other chemical compounds
secondary pollutant
what is wet deposition
process when pollutants are removed from a troposphere and deported on earth in form of rain, snow, sleet, or fog
effect is increase risk on lung cancer
Radon
how many percentage of AR we breathe
0.9%
