standards for ozone an average of 122 days a year (Barboza). Bonnie Holmes-Gen, a senior policy director of the American Lung Assn. in California said that air pollution in Los Angeles its literally putting the health of its people in danger (Barboza). Los Angeles has been able to reduce ozone levels by more than one-third in the last 15 years, but still is not enough because there is still ozone gas generated by pollution from vehicles, power plants, factories, etc. (Barboza). This ozone can inflame

major cities like Toronto or Edmonton, you’ll notice how the air is thicker than usual. That’s because of the air pollutants such as transportation, agriculture, forestry, and domestic uses. These pollutants create something called, the ground level ozone layer, or smog as most people call it. This kind of air pollution gravely affects humans, animals, plants, or

facilities. Two major pollutions are ozone and fine particulate materials. Ozone also known as smog. The cause of smog includes the automobile and industrial processes that involve combustion of fossil fuels. The products of fossil fuel consumption are sulfur dioxide, particles, ground-level ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and lead. Ground-level ozone formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds heat up under the sunlight to produce ozone. These petroleum-based fuels mainly come

the dangers of UV light from being a part of the ozone layer. Oxygen is a very reactive element that forms compounds such as oxides. Oxygen is found in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Ozone is a different form of oxygen that combines three oxygen atoms together. The ground level ozone which is called the troposphere is considered an air pollutant that forms in the presence of sunlight from other pollutants in our atmosphere but the ozone layer that is up in the Earth’s upper atmosphere

Reading #1: 1)Rainforests get swallowed by farms in Brazil- Description- The photographs compare the same rainforest at different times. One is taken in 1975, the photo appears to be mostly green. The other taken in 2008 is very different with lots of cleared out light areas where trees once stood. When compared the photos look as though they could be taken in two different places because the area has changed so much. Opinion- The difference is amazing, the difference in greenery i imagine means

Answers for the final exam: 1 The following table shows the three laws of thermodynamics and what each of them states: First law Conversation of energy In an isolated system, it is not possible to either create or destroy energy. Second law Energy transfer For an isolated system, the entropy is always increasing. Third law Motion of Molecules As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system assumes a constant value. 2 The origin of universe and elements is recognized

pollution is a major cause of disease and death in large cities, which can be prevented. Despite improvements to enhance air quality through the years, the San Joaquin Valley does not meet the requirements of federal and state health ozone levels and particulate pollutants. Ozone is particularly a problem during the summer because high temperatures "cook" chemicals with sunlight to produce smog. Particles, meanwhile, represent a problem during the fall and winter season, when the increase in vehicle emissions

1 Climate Impacts of the 1982 El Chichon and 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruptions Joseph Carolan and Gregory Deboe Meteo 470: Climate Dynamics Fall 2014 December 15, 2014 Introduction: The changing climate has become a very important amongst the science and political communities over the past 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its First Assessment Report in 1990 as a means of taking a global initiative to study the changing climate and how to respond to these changes.

As our global population continues on a steady rise so does our product consumption, which naturally leads to an increase in waste production. The vast amount of waste that we are manufacturing ultimately lands up in our oceans, lakes, rivers, alley ways, backyards and parks creating what are known as garbage towns. This would introduce health risks to individuals and the community as a whole. These risks could also include exposure to dangerous chemicals that poses detrimental effects on the environment

planet, pollutions such as, CO2 (carbon dioxide), fossil fuels, Hydrofluorocarbons and even methane make up the Greenhouse gas and trap the suns heat and radiation from bouncing back as it normally would, leaving this heat and radiation to sit in our ozone lair, and burn it. CO2, is vital to life on earth, however, factories pump so much out that this good thing becomes the embodiment of the phrase, too much of a good thing. Per MNN, “CO2 currently represents about 84 percent of all greenhouse gases
