WATER & AIR RESOURCES WEEK OF APRIL 11 TH

BELLRINGER: 4/11 N/A FSA’S

BELLRINGER: 4/12 N/A FSA’S

BELLRINGER: 4/13 YOUR FELLOW PEERS PRESENTED DIFFERENT NON- POINT SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION. NAME 3 SOURCES.

GETTING TO THE SOURCE PESTICIDES ANIMAL WASTE LITTER TRASH AND RAW SEWAGE FERTILIZERS DUMPED OIL PET WASTE ACIDIC DEPOSITION SEDIMENT/EROSION STORMWATER RUNOFF GRASS CLIPPINGS/STICKS Work individually or in small groups to write the terms on the proper blank lines on the diagram that is on the worksheet.

HOW DOES NPS MOVE THROUGH THE WATER CYCLE? WHERE CAN THESE TYPES OF POLLUTION COLLECT? THE DIFFERENT TYPES NPS THAT DEPEND ON SUCH FACTORS AS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, THEIR DISTRIBUTION, AND THE USE OF THE LAND WORK IN YOUR GROUPS TO CREATE THREE NEW WATER CYCLE DRAWINGS WITH THE THEMES OF "RURAL," "SUBURBAN" AND "URBAN.“ CITIES TO HELP GUIDE THOUGHTS: RURAL = GROVELAND/MASCOTTE SUBURBAN = CLERMONT/MINNEOLA URBAN = ORLANDO/MIAMI/JACKSONVILLE

BELLRINGER: 4/14 HOW COULD AN INCREASE IN POPULATION IN ANY OF THESE AREAS AFFECT NPS EXAMPLES AND AMOUNTS? WHAT NATURAL FACTORS DETERMINE THE RATE THAT NPS POLLUTANTS MIX WITH WATER AND TRAVEL, OR STAY IN ONE WATER BODY? WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY CONTRIBUTE TO NPS PROBLEMS? REMINDER: ROUGH DRAFT OF ESSAY DUE NEXT MONDAY (2-3 PAGES MIN)

AIR POLLUTION SOURCES: NATURAL WINDS SWEEPING UP DUST STORMS VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS RELEASE SOOT AND GASES FIRES PRODUCE ASH, SOOT AND GASES HUMAN FACTORIES AND POWER PLANTS ARE POINT SOURCES TRANSPORTATION AS A WHOLE IS A NONPOINT SOURCE

PRIMARY POLLUTANTS DIRECTLY PUT INTO THE TROPOSPHERE SECONDARY POLLUTION CREATED WHEN PRIMARY POLLUTION REACTS WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES

HEALTH RESPIRATORY: COUGHING FROM PARTICLES IRRITATING AIR PASSAGES AND LUNGS ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, AND EMPHYSEMA BLOOD: CARBON MONOXIDE BINDS TO HEMOGLOBIN, REPLACING OXYGEN THAT IS IN THE BLOOD. CAUSES HEADACHES, TIREDNESS, & NAUSEA. PROLONGED EXPOSURE DAMAGES THE HEART. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS ARE FATAL. CANCER: BENZENE, A VOC IN GASOLINE THAT IS RELEASED FROM CARS CAUSES LUNG CANCER

SMOG SMOKE + FOG = SMOG  URBAN AREAS INDUSTRIAL SMOG SOOT COMBINES WITH SULFER & H2O DROPLETS GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN DEVELOPED NATIONS HAS REDUCED SMOG SIGNIFICANTLY DEVELOPING NATIONS, HOWEVER, ARE LESS STRICT PHOTOCHEMICAL SMOG NEEDS LIGHT. LIGHT REACTS WITH NITROGEN OXIDES AND HYDROCARBONS MAIN SOURCE IS CAR/TRUCK EXHAUST

TEMP INVERSIONS

ACID DEPOSITION POLLUTANTS COMBINE WITH H2O, O, AND OTHER CHEMICALS CREATING ACID WHICH FALLS TO EARTH MORE THAN “ACID RAIN”, ANY FORM PRECIPITATION PH SCALE: ACIDIC OR ALKALINE? 7 = NEUTRAL < 7 = ACIDIC > 7 = ALKALINE

IMPACTS PH TOO LOW, AQUATIC FISH AND PLANTS DIE ACID IN SOIL RELEASES CHEMICALS AND POISON PLANTS KILL TREES IF TOO ACIDIC ERODE STONES CONTAMINATE DRINKING WATER

CONTROLLING/REDUCING CLEAN AIR ACT: PROTECT & IMPROVE AIR QUALITY REDUCES EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS LIMITS THE RELEASE OF INDUSTRIAL EMISSION ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SUE INDUSTRIES FUNDS RESEARCH

1)Catalytic Converter 2) Scrubber 3)Unleaded Gas

CONTROLLING/REDUCING OZONE LAYER: BETWEEN 1975 & 1985, OZONE REDUCED BY 40-60%. CFC’S: RISE INTO THE STRATOSPHERE, RELEASE CHLORINE, WHICH REACTS WITH OZONE MONTREAL PROTOCOL: RESTRICTED PRODUCTION AND USE OF CFC’S HAPPY ENDING: NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS THE GROWTH HAS QUIT. HOPE IS THAT IT WILL REDUCE

BELLRINGER: 4/15 DIFFERENTIATE INDUSTRIAL AND PHOTOCHEMICAL SMOG.
