1. Chapter 12: AIR

2. DO NOW: Mon 1/10 Finish Chapter 12 Vocab. – pg. 308 /new book 340
***QUIZ TOMORROW***NO NOTEBOOKS
Open notebooks to a blank, new page
Write down all the gasses that you think are found in CLEAN atmospheric air.
Write down any gases you think HUMANS add to the air to pollute it.

3. Clean Air
Nitrogen (78%)
Oxygen (21%)
Carbon Dioxide
Water Vapor
Argon

4. Primary vs. Secondary Primary Pollutants
 put directly into air by humans
Secondary Pollutants
 when primary pollutants react with others in air – Ex: ozone, NO2, acid rain

5. Air Pollutants Carbon Monoxide Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Ozone
Lead
Particulate Matter

6. Why is carbon monoxide harmful? What does it do to you?

7. Carbon Monoxide

8. Pollutant Sources Effects
Carbon Monoxide
Nitrogen Oxides
Sulfur Dioxide
Volatile Organic Compounds
Particulate Matter

9. Pollutant Sources Effects
Carbon Monoxide
Burning fossil fuels
Cars/trucks, small engines, industry
“Suffocates” you
Blood is unable to carry oxygen
Nitrogen Oxides
Sulfur Dioxide
Volatile Organic Compounds
Particulate Matter

10. Pollutant Sources Effects
Carbon Monoxide
Burning fossil fuels
Cars/trucks, small engines, industry
“Suffocates” you
Blood is unable to carry oxygen

Smog formation, cancer, harm plants
Particulate Matter
Tiny particles of liquid/solid
Construction, agriculture, forestry, fires, vehicles, industry
clouds, respiratory problems, cancer, erosion

15. Motor Vehicle Emissions
1/3 air pollution  vehicles
Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, unburned fuel
1970 Clean Air Act  EPA regulates emissions
Catalytic Converters  clean exhaust gases

17. Evaluating Your Car Use
Write down all the places you drive to or walk/bike to on a weekly basis (school, work, doctor, friend’s house, store, sports practice, gym, movies, mall)
Go to maps.google.com & find the distance from your house to each of these places
School address: 63 Tindall Rd.

18. Evaluating Your Car Use
What is the closest distance you travel by car?
What is the farthest distance you travel by car?
What is the farthest distance you walk/bike?
What is the closest distance you walk/bike?
Do you think there are any trips you could make by foot/bike instead of car?
Do you think Middletown is a pedestrian/bike friendly town? Why/why not? What could be done to improve that?
