- Atmosphere
- Sulphur dioxide
- Toxic gas with a bad smell
- Acid rain
- Limestone power
- Acid rain
- Symbol: SO2
- Produced when fuels that contain sulphur compounds burn
- When it dissolves in water droplets in clouds it causes acid rain
- The sulphur dioxide can be removed from waste products
- Add powdered limestone to the sulphur dioxide to form calcium sulphate
- Toxic gas with a bad smell
- Carbon dioxide
- 0.04% in the atmosphere
- Greenhouse gases
- The primary greenhouse gases in the Earths atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone
- Symbol: CO2
- Fossil fuels
- Burning fossil fuels is adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere faster than it can be removed
- Fossil fuels
- Greenhouse gases
- Global warminig
- The oceans are becoming more acidic as they dissolve the carbon dioxide
- 0.04% in the atmosphere
- Nitrogen
- 78% in the atmosphere
- Symbol: N
- Nitrogen Doixide
- Air pollution is caused by vehicles and energy production
- Too much exposure can causes allergic reactions
- Air pollution is caused by vehicles and energy production
- Dilutes oxygen and prevents rapid burning at the earths surface
- Living things use nitrogen to make proteins
- 78% in the atmosphere
- Pollution
- When a bad or harmful substance enters the environment
- Air pollution
- Comes from vehicles, forest fires and building construction and demolition
- Noise pollution
- Caused by airplanes, cars and manufacturing plants
- Radioactive pollution
- Caused by nuclear power plant accidents and uranium mining operations
- Sulphur dioxide
