Air Pollution

Types of Air Pollution Primary Primary air pollution is released directly into the atmosphere Secondary Secondary air pollution is not released directly into the air, but forms in the atmosphere

Examples of Air Pollution Ground level ozone Smog Carbon monoxide Radon Acid rain

Ground Level Ozone Ground level ozone forms when emissions react with sunlight

Smog Smog is a brown haze that forms when certain gases react with sunlight

Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is formed when fossil fuels are burned incompletely. It is colorless, odorless, and toxic.

Radon Radon is a toxic, radioactive gas that seeps into buildings.

Acid Rain Acid rain occurs when water in the atmosphere combines with pollutants to form an acid.

Solutions to Air Pollution Enforce ambient air (air you breathe) standards Control emissions (pollutants released into the air from a particular source) Laws and new technologies

Your Part Reduce the amount of electricity you use Turn off lights and appliances Turn down heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer Use public transportation, walk, or ride a bike
