- Air Pollution explain why certain areas have more air pollution than others.arrow_forward4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).arrow_forwardpart 1 Which of the following are NOT natural sources of air pollution?

(2) Reducing air pollution contributes to birth defects, genetic mutations, and cancer. Only statement 1 is correct. Both statements are correct. Only statement 2 is correct.

At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forward
- As of the writing of this text, EPA standards limit atmospheric ozone levels in urban environments to 84 ppb. How many moles of ozone would there be in the air above Los Angeles County (an area about 4000 square miles; consider a height of 100 m above the ground) if ozone was at this concentration?arrow_forwardSome pollutants are difficult to break down and therefore accumulate in the environment. These are termed chronic pollutants. non-persistent pollutants. persistent pollutants. chemical indicators.arrow_forwardExplain the relation between air pollution and environmental chemistry.arrow_forward
- The ultraviolet spectrum can be divided into three regions based on wavelength: UV-A (315–400 nm), UV-B (280–315 nm), and UV-C (100–280 nm) In the absence of ozone, which of these three regions, if any, are absorbed by the atmosphere?arrow_forwardQuestion 6 Examine the graph below, which shows global emissions of ozone-depleting sub- stances from 1961 to 2014.
