100
Is microscopic solid or liquid matter suspended in the Earth's atmosphere
What is particulate matter?
100
found in small concentrations on Earth, mostly in volcanoes
What is Sulfur Oxide
100
Longer exposure will increase negative effects
What is Ozone
100
burning of fossil fuels also contributes to production
What is Carbon Monoxide
100
The law that dictates the flow of energy within a food chain
What is the 10% rule?
200
Is a chemical element in the carbon group with symbol Pb (from Latin: plumbum) and atomic number 82
What is Lead?
200
human activities= agriculture, fossil fuel combustion, wastewater management, and industrial processes
Nitrous Oxides
200
bronchoconstriction and increased asthma symptoms
What is Sulfur Dioxide
200
Most scents or odors are...?
What is VOC's
200
The formula that determines the doubling time or growth rate of a population
What is the Rule of 70?
300
A colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air
What is carbon monoxide?
300
Exhaust of internal combustion engines (including vehicles, portable and backup generators, lawn mowers, power washers, etc.)
What is Carbon Monoxide
300
contribute to ozone formation and can have adverse effects on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (acid rain, eutrophication)
What is Nitrous Oxide
300
occur naturally, originating from volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation, and sea spray. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels in vehicles, power plants and various industrial processes also generate significant amounts
What is Particulates
300
first atmospheric layer (closest to earth)
What is the troposphere?
400
1. Are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature 2. commonly known as laughing gas N2O
1. What are VOCs? 2. What is nitrous oxide?
400
1. naturally occurring gas found in the troposphere and other parts of the atmosphere 2. Earth's surface
What is Ozone and Lead
400
1. poisonous to animals and humans, damaging the nervous system and causing brain disorders 2. affect the climate of the earth by changing the amount of incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial longwave radiation retained in the earth's system
What is Lead and Particulates
400
1. -Water, Household dust, Pottery, Toys, Traditional cosmetics 2. naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's nitrogen cycle
What is Lead and Nitrous Oxides
400
A resource that can never be depleted (ex: sunlight)
What is a perpetual resource?
500
1. SO2 toxic gas with a pungent, irritating, and rotten smell 2. a naturally occurring gas found in the troposphere and other parts of the atmosphere
1. What is sulfur dioxide? 2. What is ozone?
500
1. Some occur naturally, originating from volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation, and sea spray 2. high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air
What is Particulates and VOC's
500
1. Respiratory, allergic, or immune effects in infants or children 2. It is toxic to animals (including humans) that have red blood cells that contain hemoglobin when encountered in concentrations above about 35 ppm
What is VOC's and Carbon Monoxide
500
1. used by the Romans in winemaking when they discovered that burning sulfur candles inside empty wine vessels kept them fresh and free from vinegar smell. 2. Fuel combustion and evaporation associated with cars, trucks, buses and equipment
What is Sulfur Dioxide and Ozone.
