by...

2. BEFORE YOU START...
Save this document to your desktop with the name “6.3 & 6.4 – yourname”
Upload it to the folder Ms. McCrindle shared with you
Complete your progress in this uploaded folder, NOT the one you saved to yourselves. Ms. McCrindle needs access to monitor progress / assess the work.

3. TASK Instructions
You are required to work through each of the slides, and give as much detail as possible.
The best way to learn throughout this task will be:
Use pictures.
Use your own words! (research, but read and then rewrite)
A sample assignment may or may not be posted on to help guide you. Do not copy off the posted completed assignment.
You should aim to finish Task 1 by Thursday, March 8th.

As always, be sure to use your own words! Primary Pollutants – Secondary Pollutants – Define anthropogenic: Define photochemical reaction:

6. Primary and secondary pollutants

7. Tropospheric Ozone
What is the global warming potential of ozone gas? (state as a relation to CO2) How is tropospheric ozone formed? Explain and include an image List 4 adverse effects of tropospheric ozone:

8. Particulate
Why are particulates especially dangerous?

14. 6.4 Acid Deposition

15. Acidity
What is acid deposition? Where does “acidity” fall on the pH scale? What pH value is neutral? What is the pH of acid rain?

16. Pollution & Acid Rain
What pollutants lead to acid rain? How do they form?
Provide several sources (if possible) for each of the following:
Sulphur dioxide
Nitrogen oxides

17. Acid rain formation
Briefly describe how nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide produce acid rain
Examine Figure What happens to the acid after it falls as wet/dry deposition?

18. Effects of acid deposition
List 3 effects on acid deposition on soil, plants, water, and/or coniferous forests:

19. Toxic effects of acid deposition – Summarize the following effects
Aluminum ions effect on fish/aquatic organisms Lichens Nutrient removal from soil Buildings Peat bogs Human health

20. Pollution Management Strategies
If acid deposition became a more pressing issue to Manitobans, which strategy for pollution reduction in figure would you feel be the most effective, and why?

21. Reducing the effects of acid deposition
List one criticism for each of the 4 methods listed on page 299 Liming lakes – Reducing emissions – Precombustion techniques – End of pipe measures –
