16. Human Sources of pollution 1.Burning coal and oil 2.Burning Coal (to create electricity) also emits CO 2 Nitrogen Decay NO 4 3.Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted from combustion 4.Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s)

17. emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids Products containing VOCs can release these chemicals when they are used and when they are stored. Many times you'll notice an odor when using these products. Product labels often list VOC ingredients and recommend that they should be used in well ventilated areas. Ventilation means bringing in fresh, outdoor air to mix with indoor air.

18. Building materials and furnishings, such as new carpets or furniture, slowly release VOCs over time. It may be necessary to ventilate areas with new carpeting or furniture for longer time periods because VOC levels can build up again after the windows are closed. If possible, unroll new carpets or store furniture outside your home (in a shed or detached garage) to minimize odors before bringing them in the home. If that's not possible, open windows, close doors and try to stay out of rooms until odors are reduced.

19. Fuel containers or devices using gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil and products with petroleum distillates: paint thinner, oil-based stains and paint, aerosol or liquid insect pest products, mineral spirits, furniture polishes Personal care products: nail polish, nail polish remover, colognes, perfumes, rubbing alcohol, hair spray Dry cleaned clothes, spot removers, fabric/ leather cleaners Aerosol spray products for some paints, cosmetics, automotive products, leather treatments, pesticides Moth balls, moth flakes, deodorizers, air fresheners

25. Dangers of pollution and poor air quality

26. 1. Asthma: A condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus.

27. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. –Reading link / learn more about asthma and air pollution at.. http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/fasthma.asp http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/fasthma.asp

28. 2. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, non- irritating but very poisonous gas. It is a product by incomplete combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal or wood. Vehicular exhaust is a major source of carbon monoxide.

30. 1. Run a car in a closed garage.

31. 2. Burn charcoal indoors or in a tent.

32. 3. Run a generator inside.

33. 4. Burn anything without ventilation.

34. Fire and Carbon Monoxide Alarm. –Cost about 15 dollars.

35. 3. Radioactive pollutants produced by nuclear explosions, war explosives, and natural processes such as the radioactive decay of radon.

36. –Note, gases below are water vapor, Nuclear plant would to have a meltdown to release radioactive pollutants.

37. 4. Radioactive Fallout: Chernobyl Disaster

42. The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant in Japan after Earthquake and Tsunami.

43. Note – Don’t freak out! Meltdown would be very rare. But knowing evacuation routes and the dangers of nuclear fallout from a radioactive cloud is important.

45. 5. Fireworks contain toxic metals, such as lead, cadmium and copper.

48. 6. Acid Rain is caused by Nitrogen and Sulfur dioxides. aka – Air pollution. NO 3 NOx SO 2

49. 6. Acid rain: Any form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. Usually around a pH of 5

50. Question: If you swim in a pond that is affected by acid rain will you look like this?

51. Answer: No! The change in pH (Acidity) will be small. This will have a large impact on the micro-organisms which then moves up the food chain.

52. The result… A lake that looks beautiful but is biologically dead.

53. Cleopatra’s Needle in Egypt. (Dry) –Misnamed: They are ancient Egyptian obelisks and not connected to Cleopatra. –Three were removed from Egypt and brought to London, Paris and New York.
