What components must be present to create photochemical smog?

• VOCS, PANS, Carbon Dioxide
• VOCS, Ozone, Nitrogen Monoxide
• Nitrogen Dioxide, Sunlight, Ozone, and VOCS

• Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Water vapor, and Ozone

This molecule creates the ozone layer that sustains life on Earth

• stratospheric ozone

• tropospheric ozone

• Calcium Carbonate

• CFC

a secondary pollutant

• forms in the stratosphere

• is transformed by sunlight, water, or other elements in the atmosphere

• cannot be directly tracked to its source

• forms primarily from incomplete combustion

Acid deposition forms as a result of

• nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog

• carbon monoxide and VOC's

• sulfur dioxide and VOC's

• nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides

Which method is used to reduce the nitrogen oxide emissions

• installation of catalytic converters

• increased temperature of combustion

• the use of calcium carbonate to absorb the emissions

• the use of vapor recovery nozzles

Which outdoor air pollutant is also a significant indoor air pollutant?

• sulfur dioxide

• carbon monoxide

• ozone

• mercury

What can you predict about indoor air pollution in developing regions such as India and Sub-Saharan Africa?

• Homes have more efficient insulation and increased ventilation decreasing indoor air pollution

• Use of biomass fuel sources such as wood and charcoal for cooking increases indoor air pollution

• Industrial power plants burning fossil fuels for electrical energy generation decreases indoor air pollution

• Use of chemical pesticides on croplands increases indoor air pollution
