- C1- Air Quality
- Atmosphere
- TODAY
- nitogen-78 oxygen-21 argon-1
- POLLUTION
- Direct (disease/death- carbon monoxide)
- Indirect- environment
- CARBON
- DIOXIDE
- Stays in atmosphere til removed
- can be removed naturally- photosynthesis
- greenhouse- sea level rise
- Stays in atmosphere til removed
- MONOXIDE
- Product of incomplete combustion..low oxygen levels
- poisonous- reduces oxygen levels blood can carry
- Product of incomplete combustion..low oxygen levels
- PARTICULATE
- Soot
- DIOXIDE
- SULPHUR
- Sulphur dioxide.. so2... acid rain
- reacts with moisture in clouds... kills plants/animals. ruins limestone based builings
- Sulphur dioxide.. so2... acid rain
- NITOGEN
- Reacts with oxygen in air (nitrogen oxides).. car engines
- MONOXIDE- nitrogen+oxygen in air at very high temperatures.
- DIOXIDE- continues to react with oxygen...
- acid rain
- DIOXIDE- continues to react with oxygen...
- MONOXIDE- nitrogen+oxygen in air at very high temperatures.
- Reacts with oxygen in air (nitrogen oxides).. car engines
- TODAY
- Chemical reactions
- substances= tiny particles (atoms)
- joined atoms= molecules
- substances= tiny particles (atoms)
- Fossil fuels
- Reducing Pollution
- POWER STATIONS
- Sulphur dioxide removed from flue gases
- reacting with alkali-WET SCRUBBING
- Seawater- sulphur dioxide dissolves
- produces co2, water, dissolved sulphate
- alkaline slurry- sprayed onto gases, reacts= solid waste
- calcium oxide...= calcium sulphide (waste)
- Seawater- sulphur dioxide dissolves
- reacting with alkali-WET SCRUBBING
- Sulphur dioxide removed from flue gases
- CARS
- catalytic converters
- converts nirogen monoxide into oxygen and nitrogen
- carbon monoxide..... adds more oxygen= co2 (oxidation)
- converts nirogen monoxide into oxygen and nitrogen
- legal MOT limit on pollution emissions
- BIOFUEL- renewable (carbon neutral)
- habitats?!?
- ELECTRIC BATTERIES- no exhaust gases... STILL need electricity....
- catalytic converters
- POWER STATIONS
- HYDROCARBONS
- oil, fuel, diesel
- COAL IS DIFFERENT (mainly JUST carbon)... mainly co2 when burned
- oil, fuel, diesel
- Atmosphere
