Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.6PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A list of the EPA criteria pollutants prevalent in my city should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six common air pollutants. These common air pollutants are also known as criteria pollutants. Hence, they are measured to understand the healthy condition of air. These six criteria pollutants are as follows-
- Ground-level ozone
- Carbon monoxide
- Sulfur oxides
- Nitrogen oxides
- Lead
- Particle Pollution (particulate matter).

Some pollutants are difficult to break down and therefore
accumulate in the environment. These are termed
chronic pollutants.
non-persistent pollutants.
persistent pollutants.
chemical indicators.
Without naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth's average global temperature would be near 0°F (or -18°C) instead of the actual value of 59°F (15°C). How do atmospheric greenhouse gases warm Earth? Do not use the word “trapped” in your answer
4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight
acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3)
and nitrogen monoxide (NO).

- 2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a greenhouse gas?

The average American car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. Using this information, check the statement that the average American car releases its own weight in carbon into the atmosphere each year. What are some assumptions that you can make to solve this problem? For every 5lb of the car's weight = 1 gallon of gas the average weight of a car = 4000lbs the average miles per gallon = 23.6 With this information, you can use conversions to determine how many gallons of gas that car requires to go 12000 miles.arrow_forward
