Acid precipitation is formed when

sulfur oxides or nitrogen oxides combine with water

sulfur oxides combine with nitrogen oxides

ozone combines with automobile exhaust

nitric or sulfuric acids combine with ozone

Catalytic converters, scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators are examples of

technologies used to control pollution emissions.

technologies used to treat sick-building syndrome.

technologies used to counteract the effects of acid precipitation on aquatic ecosystems

technologies used to capture radon gas

An increase in the pH of a lake would most likely indicate

calcium carbonate has been released into the lake

the lake suffers from acid shock

the area in which the lake is located suffers from acid precipitation

higher than average sulfur oxide levels in the atmosphere

During temperature inversion,

pollutants are trapped near Earth's surface

sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides combine with water in the atmosphere

an influx of acidic water causes a rapid change in the pH of water

levels of ground-level ozone decrease

What is NOT a consequence of acid precipitation?

an increase in the pH of soil and water

the death of aquatic plants and animals

the destruction of calcium carbonate in building materials

a change in the balance of soil chemistry

Temperature inversions work to trap pollution when

warm air above keeps cooler air at the surface from moving upward.

cool air above keeps warmer air at the surface from moving upward

cool air above keeps warmer air at the surface from absorbing solar radiation

warm air above keeps cooler air from absorbing solar radiation

Light pollution can be decreased by

lighting billboards from below.

using incandescent light bulbs.

increasing the number of lights per block on a city street.

Acid precipitation can be traced back to

the use of electrostatic precipitators

the release of particulate matter into the atmosphere.

When the acidity of soil increases,

some nutrients are dissolved and washed away.

the pH reaches levels as high as 7.0 to 9.0

the number of bacteria increases as well

Acid shock can be treated by

adding powdered lime to the affected water.

decreasing the pH of the affected water to 2.0

pouring sulfuric acid into the affected water.

adding powdered aluminum to the affected water.

Acid precipitation can lead to all of the following except

an increase of aquatic biodiversity

a decrease in a community's standard of living

an increase in respiratory ailments.

a destruction of historic monuments

The 1991 Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreement is meant to

reduce the acidic emission flowing across the Canada-U.S. boundary.

increase the use of alternative fuel sources.

set up a joint meteorological research council
