Which below is a source of particulate matter?

all of these are sources of particulate matter

Air pollution from a power plant is being monitored for levels of nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone. The levels are measured daily at the same time. Which of the following best predicts the impact of a dark and cloudy day on the readings for the levels of air pollutants measured?

There will be an increase in the level of nitrogen dioxide and a decrease in the level of ground-level ozone.

There will be no change in the levels of nitrogen dioxide or ground-level ozone.

There will be a decrease in the level of nitrogen dioxide and an increase in the level of ground-level ozone.

There will be an increase in the levels of both nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone.

Scientists are testing the effect of different scrubber technologies on the removal of pollutants from coal power plants. The scrubbers use a slurry of limestone and water. Which of the following best describes the impact of modifying the slurry by increasing the amount of limestone?

The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease.

The amount of ground-level ozone released will decrease

The amount of water released will increase.

The amount of carbon monoxide released will increase.

Scientists want to examine the effects of a coal-burning power plant on the pH of a lake that is downwind of the power plant. They take samples from a lake that is not downwind of the power plant to serve as a control. However, they did not realize that the lake they chose as a control group was a geothermal hot spring with acidic water.

The coal-burning power plant would not appear to have a large impact because the pH levels of the two lakes would be similar.

Using this control would not have an effect on the outcome because the high temperature of the hot spring reduces the acidity of the water in the lake.

The coal-burning power plant would appear to have a much larger effect on the pH of the experimental group because the pH in the control lake would be elevated from the acidic water.

The coal-burning power plant would affect both lakes because the Coriolis effect and weather patterns would circulate pollutants in the atmosphere.

Which of the following is most likely responsible for the indoor air pollutant shown in the graph?

Cracks in the basement foundation

Synthetic fiber in carpets and furniture

Which of the following is most responsible for the change in the emissions of volatile organic compounds ( VOC ) from 1970 to 2020 as shown in the graph?

An increase in air emission standards that began in 1970 that regulated corporate average fuel economy ( CAFE) standards.

A decrease in the number of vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and an increase in the number of hybrid vehicles beginning in 1970.

A decrease in the average driving distance in the United States from 1970 to 2020 that resulted from increased urbanization.

An increase in VOC emissions from car exhausts that resulted from increased driving distances from 1970 to 2020.

Which of the following best describes the efficiency of dry scrubbers at removing particles that are less than 2 micrometers in diameter?

Dry scrubbers are less than 10% efficient at removing particles less than 1μm in size.

Dry scrubbers are less than 20% efficient at removing particles less than 1μm and increase to over 50% efficiency at removing particles between 1 and 2μm .

Dry scrubbers are between 50% and 90% efficient at removing particles less than 2μm, depending on the flow rate.

Dry scrubbers are between 5% and 40% efficient at removing particles less than 2μm in size.

A researcher wants to determine if ponds and lakes downwind of a coal-burning power plant are affected by the plant’s emissions. Which of the following would be the best parameter from the water in the ponds and lakes to measure in order to determine the effect of the plant’s emissions on the aquatic ecosystems?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Which of the following best describes how a scientist could accurately study the effects of soil buffering on plant growth in a region that is affected by acid deposition downwind of a coal-burning power plant?

Measure the changes in plant height over a year in two different groups of trees the same distance from the power plant; one group is in topsoil and one group is in topsoil with limestone added.

Measure changes in plant height over a year in a two different groups of trees; one group is 5km from the power plant and one group is 10km from the power plant.

Measure changes in plant biomass over a year in two different groups of trees the same distance from the power plant; one group is not manipulated and one group is watered daily to dilute the deposition's acidity.

Measure changes in plant biomass over a year in two different groups of trees; one group is 5km from the power plant over limestone bedrock and one group is 10km from the power plant that has nitrogen and phosphorus added to the topsoil.

Catalytic converters reduce which of the following pairs of pollutants in car exhaust?

Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons

Carbon dioxide and particulates

a secondary pollutant

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

cannot be directly tracked to its source

forms primarily from incomplete combustion

The effects of acid deposition include

increased cancer rates in aquatic organisms

decreased mobilization of metals

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

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

Homes have more efficient insulation and increased ventilation decreasing 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
