when smoke and fog combine to produce a haze of air pollution
Pollutants discharged from an automobile
radioactive particles falling to the ground
the presence of a constituent, impurity, or some other undesirable element that spoils, corrupts, infects, makes unfit, or makes inferior a material, physical body, natural environment, workplace

rain that is polluted by gases released into the air by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil
when smoke and fog combine to produce a haze of air pollution
Pollutants discharged from an automobile
radioactive particles falling to the ground
City in Ukraine where a nuclear power plant exploded

Which of the following reflects the cause of the negative effects on the environment in Europe? (SMF Learning Target 1)
Local industries commit to recycling and reusing products
The environment in Europe is not impacted by industrial growth
Industrial development has made Europe poor
Poor practices in the past from local industries
Which of the following is NOT A cause of acid rain in Germany? (SMF Learning Target 2)
Coal burning factories and emissions from cars
Emission from wind turbines
Vehicle exhaust
Emissions from power plants
"Better yet is walking or cycling on roads with no cars at all. It seems an impossible dream – But change can be achieved if people come together and demand it. This isn't just a big-city problem. It’s an “anywhere with cars” problem. The answer isn’t to ban cars but it is to reduce exposure and to protect the most vulnerable.
Last week Public Health England released a 263-page review of interventions, calling for councils to introduce more school street zones, no-idling zones outside hospitals, congestion charging, low emission zones and electric vehicle-charging infrastructure.
Which of the following environmental issue mostly related to the passage above? (SMF Learning Target 2)
Acid Rain in Germany
Air pollution in the United Kingdom
Nuclear explosion in Chernobyl
All of the above
What was created after the Great Smog of 1952? ((SMF Learning Target 3)
a ban on coal fires
an industrial revolution
London's smokeless zones
King Edward's ban on coal fires
What is the main cause of air pollution in the United Kingdom today? (SMF Learning Target 3)
London Smog
factory smoke
use of fossil fuels
automobile exhaust emissions
"There is a tendency to attribute increases in cancer rates (other than thyroid) over time to the Chernobyl accident, but it should be noted that increases were also observed before the accident in the affected areas. More- over, a general increase in mortality has been reported in recent years in most areas of the former USSR, and this must also be taken into account in interpreting the results of the Chernobyl-related studies. Because of these and other uncertainties, there is a need for well designed, sound analytical studies, especially of recovery operation workers from Belarus, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the Baltic countries, in which particular attention is given to individual dose reconstruction and the effect of screening and other possible confounding factors"
The argument in the passage most clearly supports which of the following? (SMF Learning Target 4)
The increase in cancer rates can be explained by the spread of the nuclear waste after Chernobyl.
The leakage of radioactive waste into the water system caused cancer in Ukraine.
The cancer rates in Ukraine can be part of a pattern in the general area, not necessarily a direct effect of Chernobyl disaster
Chernobyl disaster is not the cause of Thyroid cancer
Which of the following statements BEST reflects the information on the attached Chernobyl radiation spread map? (SMF Learning Target 4
Coastal countries bordering the Atlantic ocean felt the highest concentration of radiation
Radiation has spread to African and Asian countries.
Countries on the Mediterranean Coast experienced the highest concentration of radiation
African countries were not impacted by the spread of radiation
Why were other countries concerned about the Chernobyl disaster ?(SMF Learning Target 4)
Chernobyl was immediately closed and other countries did not care
Radioactive material fell on other countries of Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
The cost of nuclear power increased therefore no one used it.
They did not have room for the sick people in their hospitals.
How does the environmental issues of the United Kingdom impact the problem of Acid Rain in Germany? (Learning Target 1)
Explain the lasting impact of the Chernobyl disaster on live stock, people and forests of Ukraine and impacted areas of Europe. (SMF Learning Target 1)
