Q

What chemicals accumulate in the hydrosphere (glaciers)

A

-poly & Per-Fluoralkly substances (PFASs)
~ contaminated groundwater< over 5,000 PFASs
-Tin(organotins)-metals
~are used in a number of consumer products including paint and pesticides
~ bioaccumulates and persistent
~ nervous system, metabolism
-mercury (neurotoxin)
~ persistent, bioaccumulates, contaminates fish , widely used in industrial proceses, causes neurotoxicity

Q

What chemicals accumulate in the lithosphere

Used to control mosquitoes and termites prohibited in 1987

A
  • Metals
  • persistent organic pollutants (POPS)
  • chemicals that persist inn the environment, Dioxins DDT, PCBs, Furans, orgonochlorine pestides
  • lead :widely distributed in environment, when used as gasoline addictive and impaired your toxicity
  • now banned from using gasoline and in paint
  • potency child need to talk to pops deal toxins and similar compounds human carcinogen cause cancer deal taxes inference potential by products of combustion which are hard to regulate municipal Lot a medical with incinerators the preaching of pope has clean polychlorinated bio stuff f

Q

Chemicals accumulate atmosphere

A

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
-Combustion by-products: from oil to tabaco
Semi-volatile POPs
Classic atmospheric pollutants (xtra small )
-volatile organic compounds, VOCs (reactive)
-sent, plant communication, paint solvents , chlorofluorocarbons ,Benzene
- CO
-NOX( nitaride oxide) (smog)
-nitrogen fixation< destroys ozone , forms acid rain
