| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary Pollutants | Pollutants that enter directly into the atomosphere |
| Secondary Pollutants | Pollutants that are created in the atm. |
| What are some secondary pollutants? | Sulfuric Acid H2SO4 Nitric Acid HNO3 Ozone O3 |
| Fine particles | PM2.5 ( <2.5 Micrometers) |
| Coarse Particles | PM10 (<10 micrometers) |
| Particulate Matter | solid or liquid particles suspended in the atm. |
| Ground level ozone is called | Smog |
| Smog is created when | NOX's mix with VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) and heat and sunlight. This forms ground level ozone (smog). |
| The biggest source of NOX in the atm is | Motor Vehicles |
| Ozone is an | oxidizing agent. this is why it's harmful to plants |
| The biggest source of Sulfur Oxides is | electricity generation. |
| Sulfuric Acid is better known as | acid rain |
| What are the stages of Sulfur Oxides | Sulfur Dioxide is a primary pollutant, it mixes with Oxygen in the air to form SO3, which mixes with water in the air to form H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) which is known as acid rain |
| What are the primary contributing pollutants to acid rain? | NOX and SOX |
