The document discusses four main types of air pollution: acid rain, smog, the greenhouse effect, and depletion of the ozone hole. Acid rain is caused by pollution from industries and vehicles which increases the acidity of precipitation and harms plants, humans, and buildings. Smog results from burning coal, vehicle emissions, and industrial fumes and can cause respiratory issues. The greenhouse effect occurs as greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and re-radiate solar energy, warming the lower atmosphere and surface. Depletion of the ozone hole is also discussed as a type of air pollution.

Smog ppt
Smog is a combination of smoke and fog formed when pollutants from sources like automobiles, factories, and the burning of coal react with sunlight and moisture in the air. There are two main types of smog:
Industrial smog, like the 1952 London Smog, forms when coal smoke and sulfur dioxide combine with fog. It can be extremely toxic. Photochemical smog forms when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds from fossil fuel combustion react with sunlight to produce secondary pollutants. Conditions like sunlight, temperatures over 18 degrees Celsius, and the presence of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds are needed for photochemical smog formation. The reactions produce ozone and other toxic chemicals that can harm human

pollution
Pollution is the addition of any substance to the air, water, or land that deteriorates the natural environment. There are several types of pollution including air, water, soil, radiation, and noise pollution. Air pollution comes from both natural sources like volcanoes and storms, as well as man-made sources such as automobiles, industries, burning garbage, and brick kilns. Water pollution changes the water quality making it unsuitable for use and stems from household detergents, sewage, industrial waste, oil spills, and thermal pollution from hot water released by industries. Soil pollution contaminates the soil from industrial waste, urban waste, chemical fertilizers, biomedical waste, and pesticides.
What happens to pollutants in the atmosphere
Once pollutants enter the atmosphere, they are transported by wind and diluted by air volumes. Some are removed by precipitation. On still evenings, cold air traps near the ground can cause fog or smog as pollutants accumulate. Strong winds disperse pollutants faster, while stagnant air allows higher concentrations. Air pollutants form acid rain when transported by wind and can damage ecosystems, structures, and human health. The ozone layer protects from UV rays but is depleted by CFCs, increasing UV exposure risks.
Acid rain is a pain
Acid rain is caused by emissions from industries, power plants, vehicles, and other sources that release sulfur and nitrogen compounds into the atmosphere. When these compounds react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the air, they form acids that fall to the earth as rain, snow, fog, hail or dry particles. Acid rain harms aquatic life by acidifying lakes and streams, damages trees and buildings, and can harm human health. To reduce acid rain, industries can install scrubbers to remove sulfur from smokestacks and shift to cleaner fuels, while vehicles can install converters to reduce emissions.

This document discusses the six main types of pollution: air, land, noise, water, thermal, and radioactive. It provides details on each type, including causes and effects. Air pollution is caused by both indoor and outdoor sources and affects the atmosphere. Water pollution comes from both point sources like pipes as well as non-point sources involving diffuse contamination. Land pollution stems from agriculture, mining, sewage, and industry. Noise pollution negatively impacts human health and the environment. Thermal pollution degrades water quality by changing temperatures, and radioactive pollution originates from nuclear power/weapons and transportation of radioactive materials.
Ozone layer depletion
The ozone layer is situated 20-30 km above the Earth's surface and contains 90% of the atmospheric ozone. It is formed through photochemical reactions involving oxygen, molecular oxygen, UV radiation, and ozone. Chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone depleting chemicals released these reactions and led to thinning of the ozone layer, most pronounced in the lower stratosphere. Depletion of the ozone layer has negative effects on human health through increased UV exposure and impacts ecosystems and climate through changes in temperatures and CO2 absorption. The Montreal Protocol was enacted in 1987 to phase out ozone depleting substances and has been successful in stabilizing and beginning to repair the ozone layer.
Chemace
This document summarizes key topics in atmospheric chemistry, including the composition of the atmosphere, common air pollutants from natural and human sources, acid rain, global warming, and ways to prevent global warming. The main natural gases that make up the atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Common air pollutants produced by burning fossil fuels include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, methane, and ozone. The increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane is causing global warming, which threatens ecosystems and will raise sea levels. Individual actions like using renewable energy can help reduce global warming.
Ozone depletion
Ozone depletion is primarily caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which were historically used in air conditioners, refrigerators, aerosol sprays, and plastic foams. CFCs undergo chemical reactions in the atmosphere that destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This has led to a large ozone hole forming over Antarctica that is enlarging and could take over 50 years to restore. The thinning ozone layer allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface, increasing risks of skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to plants and marine life.
Ozone layer mary lam
Ozone is a molecule containing three oxygen atoms that exists in both the upper and lower atmosphere. In the stratosphere, ozone forms a layer that protects the Earth from UV radiation, but in the troposphere it is a air pollutant. The document discusses the formation of ozone, its roles in the atmosphere, and how CFCs were depleting the ozone layer until they were regulated by the Montreal Protocol.
Indoor Air Quality
The document discusses the risks of poor indoor air quality in UK homes, noting that 90% of time is spent indoors where various contaminants from sources like gases, building products and molds can accumulate, leading to issues like toxic home syndrome with symptoms like sneezing and headaches for many occupants. Poor indoor air is estimated to put a large percentage of people at risk of respiratory or skin conditions and mold issues are commonly experienced according to the text.
Presentation on ozone depletion
The document discusses ozone depletion and its causes and effects. The ozone layer protects the Earth from UV radiation. Release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere from products like aerosols has led to a thinning of the ozone layer, as CFCs break down ozone gases. Increased UV radiation is linked to rises in skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to immunity and DNA. Solutions proposed include destroying CFCs in the atmosphere using lasers or adding chemicals to transform ozone-depleting chlorine.
Ozone
The document discusses the ozone layer, its importance in shielding the Earth from UV radiation, and the threats to it. It notes that ozone is found mainly in the stratosphere, where it forms the ozone layer between 6-30 miles above the surface. The ozone layer absorbs most of the sun's UV rays and plays a key role in atmospheric temperature. However, chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances have damaged the ozone layer, leading to the Antarctic ozone hole. This depletion increases UV levels and can harm both human health and the environment. International agreements like the Montreal Protocol have sought to phase out ozone-harming chemicals and find alternatives.
Ozone day
Ozone (O3) is a gas that occurs naturally in small amounts in the Earth's upper atmosphere and protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The ozone layer is being depleted by human-produced chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons which release chlorine that destroys ozone molecules. This depletion is leading to thinning of the ozone layer and formation of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica, allowing more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface and harm humans, animals and plants. Solutions to address ozone depletion include phasing out ozone-depleting substances and reducing emissions of other gases that contribute to the problem.
Air pollution
Indoor and outdoor air pollution comes from various sources that release particulate matter and other harmful substances into the air. Indoor air pollution is more dangerous because indoor spaces restrict air circulation. Common indoor pollutant sources include tobacco smoke, cooking appliances, and building materials. Outdoor pollution sources include vehicles, factories, and other stationary or mobile emitters. The extent of air pollution depends on factors like the number and emission rates of sources, wind patterns, and local topography that can cause thermal inversions and trap pollutants near the ground.
Silicosis
Silicosis is a lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, found in mining, construction and other industrial environments. It results in lung fibrosis due to chronic inflammation. There are three types - chronic occurs after 10+ years of low exposure; accelerated after 5-10 years of high exposure; and acute within months of very high exposure and can be fatal. Nutritional recommendations include foods with vitamins A and C and magnesium to protect the lungs from damage, such as fruits, vegetables, fish, and dairy products.

TYPE OF AIR POLLUTION
- 1. Presenter : Siti Fairuz Binti Latip ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY Topic : AIR POLLUTION
- 2. TYPES OF AIR POLLUTION 1. Acid Rain 2. Smog 3. Greenhouse effect 4. Depletion of ozone hole
- 3. ACID RAIN • industrial amounts of nitrogen, sulfur oxides and general pollutants from the air cause a drastic increase of the acidity of the precipitation and do also harm plants, humans, and buildings
- 4. SMOG • Derived from burning of large amounts of coal within a city, vehicular emission from internal combustion engines , industrial fumes, and photochemical smog • It can inflame breathing passages, decrease the lungs' working capacity, cause shortness of breath, pain when inhaling deeply, wheezing, and coughing. • It can cause eye and nose irritation and it dries out the protective membranes of the nose and throat and interferes with the body's ability to fight infection, increasing susceptibility to illness
- 5. DEPLETION OF OZONE HOLE
- 6. Cont.
- 7. GREENHOUSE EFFECT • The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. • Solar radiation at the frequencies of visible light largely passes through the atmosphere to warm the planetary surface • then emits this energy at the lower frequencies of infrared thermal radiation. Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases, which in turn re-radiate much of the energy to the surface and lower atmosphere
