Acid Rain SO 2 - sulfur dioxide coal burning NO x -- nitrates traffic Hydrocarbons solvents and trees CO -- carbon monoxide

Acidification of Lakes Erosion of limestone

Acid Rain Acidification of Lakes Erosion of limestone

Acid Rain Acidification of Lakes Erosion of limestone Stress on forests
10
Acid Rain The worst example: Sudbury, Ontario Nickel smelting world’s largest SO 2 emitter world’s largest SO 2 emitter Inco, Ltd.
11
Acid Rain The worst example: Sudbury, Ontario killed vegetation & lakes now capture SO 2 and make sulfuric acid
12
Acid Rain The worst example: Sudbury, Ontario (1/23/2001) Canadian Smelters Pumping 2.3 Million Pounds of Toxic Heavy Metals - Arsenic, Mercury, Lead - Into Environment Each Year. The Canadian Environmental Defense Fund said mining smelters in Canada released more than 2.3 million pounds of heavy metals in 1998, including arsenic, mercury, lead and nickel compounds, all highly poisonous and harmful to people's health and the environment. The fund said the worst polluter was Inco Ltd., the western world's largest nickel miner, which released 1.1 million pounds of heavy metal into the environment from its facilities in Ontario and Manitoba.

Deaths - US estimates of annual deaths = 7,000 - 180,000. If include indoor air pollution, 150,000 - 350,000. Costs - According to EPA and American Lung Association, air pollution costs US minimum of $150 Billion annually in health care and lost worker productivity, with $100 Billion of that related to indoor air pollution.

1974: chloroflurocarbons responsible
33
u Properties –Developed in 1930’s –Chemically stable –Odorless –Non-flammable –Non-corrosive –Cheap CFCs u Uses –Appliance coolants –Spray propellants –Styrofoam building blocks

Global warming 1997 was the warmest year
39
Global warming
41
Oct 26, 2000 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that global warming is worse than realized World could warm 11 F over next 100 years Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming
42
GREENHOUSE GASES –Carbon Dioxide - fossil fuel burning, land clearing/burning. –Chlorofluorocarbons - refrigerants. –Methane - Breakdown of organic material by anaerobic bacteria. –Nitrous Oxide - Biomass burning, breakdown of nitrogen-rich products.
