SS6G7 The student will discuss environmental issues in Canada a. Explain the major environmental concerns of Canada regarding acid rain and pollution of the Great Lakes, the extraction and use of natural resources on the Canadian Shield, and timber resources.

Canada faces a number of environmental issues Canada faces a number of environmental issues. It has many natural resources that it can use for its people and for trade to other countries. Some of the natural resources are renewable, and some are nonrenewable. The country must find ways to carefully manage both types of resources so that the environment is not damaged.

Industries help Canada have a good economy with a high standard of living. However, factories are a source of pollution. Canada must find ways to keep its industry alive without destroying its environment.

ACID RAIN Factories and automobiles produce many pollutants. Depending on what a factory makes, it can put many different pollutants into the air. Coal-burning power plants, cars, and trucks are also polluters of the air. Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides are especially dangerous. When these pollutants are put into the air, they mix with the

Water molecules and turn the water acidic Water molecules and turn the water acidic. Clouds or rain droplets that are acidic are called acid rain. Acid rain causes many problems in the environment. Acid levels can become similar to the levels of acid in vinegar. This level of acid can kill plants, damage or kill trees, and pollute

Lakes and rivers enough to kill the fish. Property can be damaged too Lakes and rivers enough to kill the fish. Property can be damaged too. In some cities, acid rain has dissolved the stone used in statues. The statues of people, for instance, lose their crisp facial features and begin to look smoothed and worn down.

Canada has passed laws to limit pollution Canada has passed laws to limit pollution. The government has worked with factory owners to build factories that do not pollute the air. Laws have been passed requiring automobiles to produce less pollution. The government also encourages Canadians to walk, ride bikes, or take the bus instead of driving their cars.

Canada cannot solve this problem alone, however Canada cannot solve this problem alone, however. In parts of southern Canada 50-75 % of the pollution that causes acid rain comes from the United States. Wind patterns tend to move the pollution from the United States into Canada.

Quiz Yourself Rain mixes with which substances to become acidic? Sulfur dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen b. hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide c. Water molecules, carbon dioxide, hydrogen d. Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide

2. Which are sources of chemicals in acid rain? a. bicycles b. coal-burning power plants c. forests d. walkers

3. Canada has to work with the United States to solve the problem of acid rain because the U.S. a. is a source of much of Canada’s air pollution b. purchases made of the goods that Canada produces in its factories c. has reduced the amount of acid rain and understands how to solve the problems d. is careful to keep air pollution from leaving the U.S. and entering Canada
