Photochemical smog is usually found above a city, where there is a city. Smog is a thick brownish haze formed when rain, or water vapor mixes with the emissions from the city. This can cause health issues for people with asthma or other repertory problems.
• Pollution is mostly caused by mot vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes etc. All of this pollution is caused by people and our stupid actions.
• The three R’s are Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. These are solutions of how we can break down solid wastes so we don’t pollute and throw our garbage everywhere.
• Three ways to clean up an oil spill are…
• The boom>>to control and tame the oil in one spot.
• The skimmer>> to help separate the oil from the water and pump the oil so we can still use it
• Fertilizers>> to clean the shore, and to make microorganisms grow and eat the some of the oil
• 1>> we can walk to closer places we need to go.
• 2>>don’t pour any chemicals down your drains, they can pollute our water!
• 3>> use more natural items around your house.
• 1>> paint fumes• 2>> animal wastes• 3>> hairspray• 4>> nail polish• 5>> air conditioning• 6>> cigarette smoke• 7>> bad food/moldy
Water pollution can effect other places far from its source by traveling through people, and animals.
• Ozone is a form of 03.
• It forms a protective layer in the Stratosphere.
• This layer protects us from UV rays.• The greenhouse gasses hold in heat.• The greenhouse gasses can also cause
global warming. • Ozone is toxic to breathe in the
Troposphere also. • This can be very dangerous.
Strip- mining is the process of obtaining coal. This is not good because it buries top-soil underground.
• A temperature inversion is when a warm layer of air pushes down and traps the cold layer of air beneath it with the pollutants and holds it close to earth’s surface witch causes health problems.
• Catalytic converters are devices that reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogenoxides.
• Elderly people, babies and people with repertory problems should watch out for warnings like that and stay inside.
• A sanitary landfill is a process of discarding solid wastes. A sanitary landfill is a dump, but much better for the environment. They are filled and covered from topsoil and they are planted on the top.
• Global warming is the increase in temperature from pollution. This is not healthy because at some point its going to get so hot, earth will become uninhabitable.
