Presentation transcript:

Fossil Fuel Combustion: Releases N2O (Nitrous Oxides) into the ATMOSPHERE Power Plants, Driving/Car Exhaust/Burning Fossil Fuels Nitrogen Oxides Nitrogen Oxides

Fossil Fuel Combustion: Combines with O2 in the ATMOSPHERE to form OZONE (SMOG)

Impacts of SMOG Human health problems (Asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, reduced resistance to colds/infections) Inhibits plant growth Damages crops and forests

Acid Rain: NOx (Nitrous Oxides) in the ATMOSPHERE Combines with H2O to form ACID RAIN (HNO3)

Impacts of ACID RAIN Lake Acidification Damages Plants Dissolves nutrients/minerals in soil Leaches Aluminum from the soil Damages leaves (can’t absorb sunlight/withstand freezing temperatures) Harms fish, aquatic wildlife, plants. Breaks down limestone/marble structures

Over Use of Fertilizers: Most plants are only able to use less than one-half of the nitrogen fertilizers Majority of the remaining nitrogen fertilizer goes into the air, soil and water. Eutrophication Greenhouse Effect Acid Rain Consuming food/water with high amounts of nitrates negatively impacts human health

Environmentally Friendly Alternatives to Synthetic Fertilizer Use: SMALL SCALE Coffee Grounds Eggshells Compost Wood Ash Seaweed/Fish Emulsion LARGE SCALE Rotate Crops Organic Fertilizer Cover Crops
