C1-Atmosphere

?
Whats in the atmosphere?
Argon 1% Oxygen 21% Nitrogen 78% Carbon dioxide 0.03%
1 of 9
How is nitrogen dioxide made?
Hot engine makes nitrogen and oxigen in air react together.
2 of 9
Carbon particulates
Linked to asthma and global dimming. Cover buildings with soot.
3 of 9
Sulfur dioxide
Causes acid rain.
4 of 9
nitrogen oxide
Causes acid rain
5 of 9
Using less electricity
so that less fossil fuels are burnt and therefore less carbon dioxide and other harmful gases are produced.
6 of 9
Removing sulfur from natural gas and fuel oil
which prevents sulfur dioxide being produced when they are burnt
7 of 9
• Removing sulfur dioxide from flue gases by wet scrubbing:
an alkaline slurry (made of calcium oxide and water) or sea water is sprayed onto the waste gases causing the sulfur dioxide to be neutralised and preventing the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere
8 of 9
Removing carbon particulate from flue gases
preventing the release of carbon particulate which land on surfaces (e.g. of buildings) making them dirty
