  4. Pure water has a pH value of 7(neutral), but rainwater falling in the atmosphere always contains impurities. The atmosphere contains natural acids including these three: CO2(a weak acid); nitric acid produced naturally from NOx emitted by lightning, fires, and soils; and sulfuric acid produced by the oxidation of sulfur gases from volcanoes and the biosphere. http://wallike.com/sky-colors-wallpaper.html

  5. What (2) natural bases are contained in the atmosphere and how did they get there? Ammonia(NH3) emitted by the biosphere and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from suspended soil dust. Dust Storm Dodge City, KS 2004 http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ddc/swaw/dust.php

  6. 40. Taken together, natural contaminants produce natural rain with pH values ranging from about 5 to 7. Acid rain refers to precipitation with pH values below 5, which generally happens only when large amounts of manmade pollution are added to the atmosphere.

  9. 41. The main components of acid rain worldwide are sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

  10. Annual Sulfate Wet Deposition http://www.epa.gov/usca/acid_2008.html

  11. 42. Acid rain has little effect on the environment in most of the world because it is quickly neutralized by naturally present bases after it falls. For example, the ocean contains a large supply of carbonate ions (CO32-)and many land regions have alkaline soils and rocks such as limestone. But in areas with little neutralizing capacity acid rain causes serious damage to plants, soils, streams, and lakes.

  14. Why are North America, the northeastern United States and eastern Canada especially sensitive to acid rain? These are especially sensitive to acid rain because they have thin soils and granitic bedrock, which cannot neutralize acidity. http://simplywallpaper.net/pictures/2010/04/19/2006-08-19-CRW_8276.jpg

  15. What affect does high acidity in lakes and rivers have on fish? High acidity in lakes and rivers corrodes fishes' organic gill material and attacks their calcium carbonate skeletons. http://www.ntnews.com.au/images/uploadedfiles/editorial/pictures/2011/12/17/dead-fish.jpg

  19. 45. Acid deposition also dissolves toxic metals such as Aluminumin soil sediments, which can poison plantsand animals that take the metals up. And acid rain increases leaching of nutrients from forest soils, which weakens plants and reduces their ability to weather other stresses such as droughts, air pollution, or bug infestation.

  20. Can you tell which one was exposed to acid rain? http://media.web.britannica.com/eb-media/54/72754-004-B387DF74.jpg

  21. 46. In addition to making ecosystems more acidic, deposition of nitrate (NO3-1) and ammonia (NH3) fertilizes ecosystems by providing nitrogen, which can be directly taken up by living organisms. Nitrogenpollution in rivers and streams is carried to the sea, where it contributes to algal blooms that deplete dissolved oxygen in coastal waters.

  24. What are the (2) main sources of nutrient pollution? The main sources of nutrient pollution are agricultural runoff and atmospheric deposition. http://www.destination-scuba.com/images/agriculturepollute.jpg

  26. Section 9: Controlling Air Pollution

  27. 48. Thanks to several decades of increasingly strict controls, emissionsof most major air pollutants have declined in the U.S. and other industrialized countries since the 1970s. This trend occurred even as what increased? economic activity and fuel consumption

  28. 49. The reductions in emissions of most major air pollutants came about because governments passed laws limiting allowable pollution levels and required the use of technologies to reduce emissions

  30. 50. List (2) examples of technologies used to reduce emissions. scrubbers on power plant smokestacks and catalytic converters on vehicles

  31. Catalytic converters allow for cleaner Emissions. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MQw4-6X-fYQ/TpvJl66zV4I/AAAAAAAAAFA/CzAOM2It2VU/s1600/catalytic+converter.jpg

  32. Industrial scrubber systems allow fewer emissions and safer emissions to escape.

  33. Since the 1970s, the decrease in emissions has demonstrably reduced levels of what four principal primary pollutants: carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead Air quality standards for these four pollutants were frequently exceeded in the U.S. twenty years ago but are hardly ever exceeded now.

  34. 52. Progress in reducing the two principal secondary pollutants, ozone and particulate matterhas been much slower because reducing precursor emissions by a factor of two does not guarantee a corresponding factor of two decrease in the pollutant concentrations (the decrease is often much less, and there can even be an increase).

  35. 53. In contrast to improvements in developed countries, air pollution has been in many industrializing nations. Beijing, Mexico City, Cairo, Jakarta, and other megacities in developing countries have some of the dirtiestair in the world. This situation is caused by what (5) factors? (1) rapid population growth (2) rising energy demand (3) weak pollution control standards (4) dirty fuels (5) inefficient technologies
