6.3 Outer Atmospheric Pollution Flashcards
when fossil fuels burn what gets released into the air
nitrogen and oxygen and sulfur which further form other things
what are the precursors to acid rain
sulfure and nitric oxide
how do fossil fuels contribute to acid rain
they provide sulfure oxygen and nitrogen to make sulfur and nitric oxide which cause acid rain
how is acid rain formed
sulfur and nitric oxide interact with UV rays and water to form vapor which can condense into rain
is acid vapor bad?
ya it can go into the lungs and stuff and hurt
acid rain
all forms of precipitation with sulfur and nitric oxide
acid rain effect on buildings
can damage them and make them deteriorate
what types of buildings does acid rain corrode more
limestone marble and some metals
acid rain affect on water
can pull out heavy metals from rocks and then this will go to runoff and contaminate everywhere the water goes
acid rain effect on humans
no burn skin js bad for respiratory system
acid rain affect on environment
take away nutrients from soil so primary producers and on
EPAacid rain prgram
thing that helped power plants to reduce emissions which successfully helped to reduce acid rain
would have a stronger or weaker base be a better buffer for acid rain
stronger
does the presence of tress effect acid rain
no it will still be as bad for everyone and everything
how do yk what community will have the least effect from pollution (the smoke and other shiz(
not the one furthest away but the one were the pollution does not blow to
how do yk what community will have the most effect from pollution (the smoke and other shiz(
the one where the wind will blow to and not the one closest to the pollution some neccesarily bc it might not go directly down
