NAME CHEMICAL SYMBOL/S CONCERNS CAUSES Lung damage Ozone (Ambient Air) Vehicle exhaust Forms when other air pollutants react with sunlight. Forest fires - Ozone (Stratosphere) Vehicle exhaust When pollutants in atmosphere react with sunlight. Eye irritation Sulfur Dioxides Vehicles Power plants burning fossil fuels Coal burning stoves Coal burning power plants and industries Coal burning stoves Refineries Volcanoes SOLUTIONS - Reduce car emissions - Add pollutant filter to smoke Respiratory tract problems stacks. Damages vegetation Causes smog Increase the greenhouse effect Lung damage Nitrogen Oxides Period ________ - Reduce car emissions - Filter smokestack smoke - Reduce the use of fossil burning - Acid rain forms power plants - Deteriorate buildings and statues - Replace old coal burning stoves - Damages forests - Reduce car emissions - Forms ozone Eye irritation - Reduce reliance on coal - Lung damage - Recycle metals so less needs to be - Kills aquatic life - Forms acid rain - Acid rain that forms damages refined. buildings and forests. Lead Carbon Monoxide Leaded fuel Metal refineries Power plants burning fossil fuels Motor vehicles Power plants burning fossil fuels. Kerosene or wood burning stoves. - Brain and kidney damage - Use only unleaded fuel Contaminated crops and livestock - Reduce reliance on fossil fuel burning power plants. Headaches - Reduce car emissions - Reduced mental alertness - Utilize nuclear energy. - Death - Stop or slow the use of wood - Heart damage burning stoves or kerosene. NAME VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) Carbon Dioxide NMHC (Nonmethane hydrocarbons) SPM (Suspended Particulate Matter) CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) CHEMICAL SYMBOL/S CONCERNS CAUSES Paint Perfumes Nail polish CFCs (in refridgerants and cleaning supplies) Car exhaust Volcanoes Motor vehicles Power plants burning fossil fuels Forest fires Respiratory problems Reduce exposure to items that May lead to cancer. release VOC’s Deplete the ozone layer Reduce the use products containing CFCs Produces smog when reacts with light.- Reduce car emissions Increases the greenhouse effect - Utilize nuclear energy - Prevent unnatural forest fires Increase greenhouse effect - Reduce fossil fuel use Lung damage - Reduce the use of diesel engines - Eye irritation - Filter smokestacks - Damage to crops - Reduce use of wood stoves - Reduces visibility - Discolors buildings and statues - Fossil fuel burning Diesel engines Power plants Industries Windblown dust Wood stoves Deplete ozone layer - Motor vehicles Refridgerants Cleaning products Burning fossil fuels Reduce the use of items that contain CFCs Contaminate fish Mercury SOLUTIONS - Reduce the use of fossil fuels.
