1. List ALL the air pollutants emitted from burn- Mercury, lead, sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen
ing coal. oxides, particulates, other heavy metals
2. Nitrogen oxides are primary air Organic
pollutants. However, they can mix with
other compounds in the air to make
photochemical smog and acid rain.
Smog and acid rain are examples of
what type of pollutants?
Particulate matter
3. The burning of diesel fuel releases what
type of outdoor air pollutant?
Tropospheric ozone formation occurs
4. Below, write a series of chemical
when nitrogen oxides, carbon
reactions that leads to the formation
of tropospheric ozone in monox- ide, and volatile organic
photochemical smog. compounds re- act in the
atmosphere in the presence of
sunlight
5. What is a VOC? What are their main sources? VOC is volatile organic
compounds that
are organic chemicals that have a
high vapor pressure at room
temperature. Their main sources
are gasoline, lighter fluid, dry
cleaning fluid, oil based paints, and
perfumes
6. In what seasons do we see increases in smog Summer because the
temperatures are
concentration? Why? 7. Why are there high
levels of smog in
urban areas?
