regulatory practice, conservation practices, and alternative fuels
This pollutant is only harmful when present in the troposphere (NOT stratosphere)
ozone (O3)
What type of pollution affects mating in organisms?
noise pollution
Cars driving release CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, what solution makes these pollutants into less harmful molecules (CO2, N2, O2, and H2O)
Catalytic Converter
This pollutant is formed when nitrogen oxides and VOCs react with heat and sunlight to produce...
photochemical smog
What type of pollution occurs due to NOx's and SOx's?
acid rain
What solution is an air pollution control device on a gasoline pump that prevents fumes from escaping into the atmosphere when fueling.
vapor recovery nozzle
This pollutant commonly comes from insulation, furniture, and carpets.
VOCs
what is caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Stratospheric, good ozone depletion
What are limitations for scrubbers?
expensive, reqire a lot of energy, produce waste water/solid waste
escapes through foundaton cracks, decay of uranium found in rocks in soils
radon-222
What type of indoor air pollutant is classified as an asphyxiant?
carbon monoxide
