1/23 and 1/24
Particulate matter: different types of solids or
liquids that are emitted from burning and are
light enough to float in the air; can be metals,
carbon, dust, hair, and many others

Photochemical smog: a mixture of secondary
and primary pollutants resulting from chemical
reactions using light
Sulfur Dioxide: harmful gas emitted mainly
from the direct combustion of coal
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)- emitted
from cars and liquids like oil; ingredient in
creating ground level ozone



Ground level ozone- generated through the
combination of VOCs and Nox using sunlight in
a chemical reaction
1/27 and 1/28: Scholar Groups
You guys know the protocol for scholar
groups. Listen to the following podcast
and answer the individual questions in

After everyone has answered these
questions, assign letters to each of your
table members, and write down their
responses to the 5th question
(discussion question).
Finally, come to a consensus on the last
question (you will all agree on one
answer).
THIS IS DUE ON WEDNESDAY WITH
YOUR AIR POLLUTION NOTES.
BEFORE STARTING TODAYS WORKSHEET,
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SURVEY. Take it
seriously, this is INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY
important to me as a teacher:

Air Pollution Fact Sheet
Instructions: You will be using the resources
provided (mostly EPA website links and some
youtube videos) to fill in your official air pollution
compound notes. These will be yours to
reference throughout the unit and study for on
exams. Make them carefully and Provide detail!
They will be examined next Wednesday,
January 29th by Mr. Mullins for a grade. You will
have time in class on Mon/Tues to complete
them as well.

Carbon Monoxide:

Carbon Monoxide- harmful pollutant found in
car exhaust that attached to hemoglobin on
blood, blocking oxygen from attaching.
Acid Rain- Formed through the combination of
sulfur dioxide or nitrogen compounds with rain
to form sulfuric or nitric acid that falls in water
to earth.
