Ozone

The Effects of Greenhouse Gasses Global Warming has been devastating the earth and economy for the last twenty-five years. Greenhouse gasses developed from the production of chemicals such as R-22, oil, and factories have destroyed ozone and ecosystems for the last hundred years. Carbon dioxide is produced naturally and absorbed by plants and animals, but, too much, and it is deadly. With the increase in automobiles and production, the world government has begun to address the issue of greenhouse

earth’s surface. Normally, it would escape into space, but the pollutants get trapped between the ozone and the surface of earth. This causes a greenhouse effect which raises the temperature of the earth. These temperatures can be very harmful to the environment (MacMillan). These CO2 emissions and green house gases come from things that we use everyday. Though these all increase the hole in the ozone layer, CFC’s are considered the main reason we have the hole. Most CFCs are found in old air conditioners

gases composed of nitrogen and oxygen and are released to the air through vehicle exhaust and the burning of fuels, natural gas, and oil. Nitrogen oxide is also the main contributor to smog, acid rain, and the tropospheric ozone. It is one of the factors that is destroying the ozone layer in the atmosphere. NOx can make it hard for you to see, cause difficulty breathing, burning of the tissues in the throat, and can cause the body to interfere with the blood's ability to carry oxygen to the body.

of the topic about the causes and effects of air pollution to our environment. The term air pollution is a mixture of natural and manmade substances in the air we breath such as fine particles produced by the burning of fossils fuel ground level ozone, which is a reactive form of oxygen that is a primary component of urban smog and noxious gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and chemical vapors. The health effects of air pollution have been reported in research studies

Environmental Issues A. Introduction Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. We as humans depend on the air around us to live, without it we would die. We rely on this as an essential source for living. Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. It is another major problem that is yet to be solved. These dangerous substances can be either in the

respiration. B) decreased by pollution. C) increased by burning fossil fuels. D) increased by photosynthesis. E) none of the above Answer: C Diff: 1 15) Temperature changes during the last century have been shown to correlate with A) destruction of ozone in the atmosphere. B) carbon dioxide and volcanic emissions. C) halocarbon production. D) nitrous oxide production. E) all of the above Answer: B Diff: 2 16) We produce carbon dioxide when we A) drive our automobiles. B) heat our houses with oil

Photochemical Smog Gifted Chemistry IB Alternative Assessment 1997 March 19 Historically, the term smog referred to a mixture of smoke and fog, hence the name smog. The industrial revolution has been the central cause for the increase in pollutants in the atmosphere over the last three centuries. Before 1950, the majority of this pollution was created from the burning of coal for energy generation, space heating, cooking, and transportation. Under the right conditions, the smoke and sulfur dioxide

Part of the Stratosphere and Troposphere are being the most affected by the carbon dioxide. In the upper Stratosphere and the lower Troposphere is the ozone layer. The Ozone layer helps hold in the heat that the carbon dioxide provides. The Ozone layer blocks heat from the earth's surface and prevents the heat from escaping into outer space. This “insulating” effect is important because without it the surface of the earth would quickly cool down

words; smoke and haze. Smog is likewise used to portray the sort of mist which has smoke or sediment in it. Smog is a yellowish or blackish haze framed principally by a blend of poisons in the climate which comprises of fine particles and ground level ozone. Smog which happens principally on account of air contamination, can likewise be characterized as a blend of different gasses with tidy and water vapor. Smog additionally alludes to foggy air that makes breathing troublesome. The environmental contaminations

Pollution is a major problem that has and is causing devastating impacts to people and the environment. It comes in many different forms such as water, air, noise, and light, all of which affect our society in different ways. The focus of my essay is specifically about air pollution and the effect it has on our society, as well as ways of preventing it from hurting future generations. Air pollution is most commonly caused by the burning of fossil fuels, agricultural activities, and exhaust from factories
