Question
Match the term with the correct description.
Primary pollutants Do not go through a smokestack
Secondary pollutants A corrosive gas which reacts with water vapor in the air to cause acid rain
Fugitive emissions Converted to a hazardous form after entering the air and mixing with other air components
sulphur dioxide Phased out use of CFCs. HCFCs were substituted, which release less chlorine
carbon monoxide Released directly from the source
Temperature inversions A colorless, odorless, toxic gas produced by incomplete fuel combustion
montreal protocol The injury caused by the combination is more than the sum of the individual exposures
Acid precipitation Deposition of wet acidic solutions or dry acidic particles from the air
Clean Air act Occur when a stable layer of warm air lies above cooler air, reversing the normal temperature decline with increasing height, and prevents convection currents from dispersing pollutants
Synergistic Effects First national air pollution control
Explanation / Answer
Primary pollutants- released Directly from the source.
Secondary pollutants-Converted to hazardous form after entering the air and mixing with other air components.
Montreal protocol- passed out use of CFCs.HCFCs were submitted,which release less chlorine carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide- A colourless,odorless,toxic gas produced by incomplete fuel combustion .
Fugitive emmisions- do not go through smokestack
Temperature inversions-occur when a stable layer of warm air lies above cooler air,reveesing the normal temperature decline with increasing height and prevents congestion currents from dispersing plootants.
Sulphur dioxide- a corrosive has which reacts with water vapour in the air to causing acid rain
Acid precipitation -deposition of wet acidic solutions or dry acidic particles from the air.
Clean air act-first national air pollution control
Synergistic effects-the injury caused by the combination is more than the sum of the unusual exposures.
