air pollutants

Air pollution

Introduction of chemical chemicals, particulate matter, or microorganisms into the atmosphere at concentrations high enough to harm

Primary air pollutants

Admitted into troposphere and will cause direct harm or will react to form harmful substances

Secondary air pollutants

Not directly admitted into troposphere, but he’s formed from a reaction by a primary pollutant

Criteria pollutants

Carbon monoxide, solar dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, tropospheric ozone, articulate, lead

Carbon monoxide source

Vehicles for 78% of emissions

Carbon monoxide characteristics

Colorless and odorless

Carbon monoxide affect

Tropospheric ozone formation

Carbon monoxide physical effect

Binds to hemoglobin in red blood cell cells, prevent prevents oxygen from binding

Sulfur dioxide source

Combustion of coal

Sulfur dioxide characteristics

Colorless and odorific

What does sulfur dioxide form in the atmosphere?

H2 CO4

Nitrogen dioxide source

N2 reacts with O2 at high temperature created by combustion engines

Nitrogen dioxide characteristics

Foul smelling

Nitrogen dioxide effects

Photochemical smog and acid deposition

Tropospheric ozone source

Photochemical reaction with NOX

Trophosperic, ozone characteristics

Colorless and odorific

VOC

Released through an operation of fuels and improper combustion of fuels such as gasoline

Clean air act

1970 identified six criteria of gluten standards for air quality limits on emissions and funded pollution control

Worst air quality

9/10 Asia, 6/9 in India

CO2 and methane

Not criteria, pollutants, and cause climate change
