air pollution control devices used in industrial smokestacks (often in coal power plants) that inject dry, powdered sorbents (like lime) into exhaust gases to chemically neutralize or absorb acidic pollutants without creating wastewater

air pollution control devices that spray a liquid (usually water or chemical reagents) to remove soluble gases, like sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and PM from industrial exhaust streams

Electrostatic Precipitator :

power plant / factory emissions passed through the device with a negative charged electrode, giving particles a negative charge

large fabric bag filters that trap PM (particle matter) as air from combustion / industrial process passes through

Urban Noise Pollution :

any noise at great enough volume to cause physiological stress (difficulty communicating, headaches, confusion) or hearing loss

Aquatic Noise Pollution :

noise of ship engines, military sonar, and seismic air blasts from oil and gas surveying ships

ships send huge air blasts down into the water, searching for oil by recording how the echo is returned from the ocean floor

a global agreement to phase CFCs out of production in refrigerators, aerosols, and other uses

water molecules move slightly further apart when they're heated / all the water molecules of ocean moving slightly apart leads to sea level rising

islands that buffer coastal communities / ecosystems from wind and waves may be lost as sea levels rise

Polar Amplification :

polar regions of earth are warming faster than other regions
