2. This is the last stage in the formation of coal

3. What is anthracite?

4. This fossil fuel releases radiation when burned.

5. What is coal?

6. This fossil fuel is primarily responsible for NOx in the atmosphere when burned.

7. What is oil?

8. This is how the components of oil are separated from each other in a refinery.

9. What is by differences in boiling points?

10. These are the two greenhouse gases that are released by the extraction and burning of natural gas.

11. What are carbon dioxide and methane?

12. This pollutant is released from the burning of coal. It is often concentrated in fish populations and is responsible for human neurologic damage.

13. What is mercury?

14. This chemical is both a secondary pollutant common in photochemical smog and may be used to disinfect wastewater.

15. What is ozone?

16. This type of smog is associated with the burning of coal and production of SOx and ash in the atmosphere

17. What is gray air/industrial smog?

18. These air pollutants consist of easily vaporized substances such as gasoline and are components in “new car smell”.

19. What are VOCs?

20. This technique may be used to remove particulate matter from a smokestack before it is released. It is based on attraction of the particles to an opposite charge.

21. What is an electrostatic precipitator?

22. The proposed location for radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants.

23. What is Yucca Mountain?

24. The fuel used in a nuclear reactor.

25. What is uranium-235?

26. This portion of the nuclear reactor is turned by steam and is connected to the generator which produces the electricity.

27. What is the turbine?

28. This is the part of the nuclear reactor that absorbs neutrons to keep the reaction from getting out of hand.

29. What are the control rods?

30. This is the part of a nuclear reactor that serves to slow down neutrons during the reaction and is usually water in US reactors.

31. What is the moderator?

32. The type of energy that is created by burning wood, corn oil, or cow poop.

33. What is biomass?

34. This form of energy is being used when a house is built to take advantage of the heat from the sun (be specific).

35. What is passive solar energy?

36. This form of energy utilizes the heat from within the earth?

37. What is geothermal?

38. This form of renewable energy is considered a hazard to migrating birds.

39. What is wind energy?

40. This form of energy can be considered a hazard to migrating fish.

41. What is hydroelectric energy?

42. A radioactive gas produces by the breakdown of uranium which can seep into homes.

43. What is radon?

44. This is used in insulation and can release tiny fibers which can be inhaled deeply into the lungs. It is considered a carcinogen.

45. What is asbestos?

46. This indoor air pollutant is released from carpeting, furniture, and building materials

47. What is formaldehyde?

48. The type of cancer associated with asbestos.

49. What is mesothelioma?

50. Occurs when 20% or more of a building’s occupants become sick because of conditions inside.

51. What is sick building syndrome?
