APES Unit 7 Review Exam Questions and Answers
Dust and soot are examples of this type of pollutant - -Particulate Matter
-Photochemical smog forms when primary pollutants and secondary pollutants react in
the presence of this. - -Sunlight
-These two pollutants contribute the most to acid deposition - -nitrogen oxides and sulfur
dioxide
-This occurs when a layer of warm air traps cooler air below it and commonly occurs in
this west coast city - -thermal inversion of Los Angeles
-The pollutants commonly targeted by electrostatic precipitators and scrubbers
respectively - -particulate matter, and sulfur oxides
-This pollutant reduces the bloods ability to carry oxygen, causing headaches, dizziness,
and even death - -carbon monoxide
-Furniture stuffing, paneling, and foam insulation are all sources of this pollutant - -
Formaldehyde
-The four most dangerous indoor air pollutants according to the EPA. - -asbestos, radon,
cigarette smoke, and formaldehyde
-The criteria for determining if a building is sick - -20%1 or more people complaining of
symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and coughing2 while in a building3 but
feeling better when they leave4
-This pollutant comes from the radioactive decay of uranium and its remediation
technique - -radon and proper ventilation
-The layer of the atmosphere that contains this helpful ozone - -the stratosphere
-The thinning of the ozone layer is occurring primarily over this continent at this time of
year - -Antarctica in October/spring
-Much of the ozone thinning has been caused by this chemical and specifically this element
- -chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and the chlorine molecule
-Less ozone means increased exposure to this radiation which causes - -UVB radiation
which causes skin cancer
-The first meeting to reduce CFC emissions was held in this location and established this
agreement - -Montreal and the Montreal Protocol
