What is TRUE of carbon monoxide?
It is CO2
It is an odorless gas
It has a purple color
It is the product of complete combustion
None of these are true
Which is false of carbon dioxide?
It is CO2
It is colorless
It is odorless
It is a greenhouse gas
It is the product of photosynthesis
Which below is a source of particulate matter?
burning wood
dust from gravel roads
volcanoes
forest fires
all of these are sources of particulate matter
Photochemical smog results from a reaction between
nitrogen, oxygen and sunlight
nitrogen, carbon and sunlight
oxygen, water and lead
sunlight, sulfur and carbon
carbon, hydrogen, and methane
Volcanic eruptions can be sources of air pollution
True
False
Smog or ground ozone forms in the troposphere. Which pollutants are most responsible for smog or ground ozone?
sulfur and particulate matter
volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
none of these answers are correct
Where is the Ozone Layer found in our atmosphere?
Troposphere (lower portion)
Stratosphere (upper portion)
The Clean Air Act- regulates vehicle emissions.
true
false
A type of pollution found both indoors and outdoors, which includes pollen, dander, soot, carbon, and dust.
Water droplets
Allergens
Particulate matter
Combustibles
Which of the following is NOT a primary pollutant?
nitric oxides
smog
sulfur dioxide
volatile organic compounds
Which of the following pH measurements of rainwater would indicate acid precipitation/rain?
pH 6.0
pH 4.1
pH 7.3
pH 9.6
What areas are more likely to experience temperature inversions?
small cities in the mountains
large cities in valleys
large cities near oceans
small cities near a river
Where is the "GOOD" ozone located?
troposphere
stratosphere
mesosphere
thermosphere
Radon is usually found in this location in your home.
attic
basement
bathroom
kitchen
What effect do temperature inversions have?
traps heat and raises the temperature beneath it
traps cold air and lowers the temperature beneath it
traps emissions and can accumulate beneath it
traps the ozone layer
How do temperature Inversions affect air currents?
A layer of cold, polluted air mixes with the warm air from the surface and creates a smog-like layer
A layer of slightly warmer air prevents the warm, polluted air from rising, causing a build up of pollution near the surface
A layer of smoke causes temperatures to lower near the surface of the earth, causing more pollution in the air.
Which of the following is the basis of industrial fog?
burning coal
vehicle emissions
