Some pollutants are difficult to break down and therefore
accumulate in the environment. These are termed
chronic pollutants.
non-persistent pollutants.
persistent pollutants.
chemical indicators.
Why is it important to continuously monitor the concentration of pollutants in the air?
Without naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth's average global temperature would be near 0°F (or -18°C) instead of the actual value of 59°F (15°C). How do atmospheric greenhouse gases warm Earth? Do not use the word “trapped” in your answer

That remaining, approximate 1% of the air is associated with trace amounts of air and particle pollutants that can affect air quality, especially on hot, summer days. Groups that can be affected by poor air quality include those who have asthma, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If the total air pressure is 1.0 atm, what would be the partial pressure (atm) of O2 on a poor air quality day? atm. 480 words IX English (United States) (5 points) Focus F Earrow_forward

Each is 20 feet away from the professor. 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_forwardCompare the greenhouse gases and final temperature for each scenario.
