  2. The 6 Basic Air Pollutants • Ozone (O3) • Particulate Matter • Carbon Monoxide (CO) • Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) • Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) • Lead (Pb)

  3. Ozone Depletion Leads to Skin Cancer • Skin cancer is a malignant growth on the skin which can have many causes. Cancers caused by UV exposure may be prevented by avoiding exposure to sunlight or other UV sources. Skin cancers are the fastest growing type of cancer in the United States. Skin cancer represents the most commonly diagnosed malignancy, surpassing lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer. More than 1 million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in 2007.

  4. Excessive Particulate Matter Pollutions Leads to Respiratory Diseases • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) are characterised by an increase inAirway Resistence, shown by a decrease in Peak Expiratory Flow Rate. Many individuals with COPD present with "barrel chest" - a deformity of outward rib displacement due to chronic over-inflation of the lungs,also, in severe COPD, a flattening of thediaphragmcan be seen on chestradiograph • Examples of obstructive lung diseases include: • Emphysema • Acute & Chronic Bronchitis • Asthma • Bronchiectasis • Bronchiolitis

  5. Carbon Monoxide Leads to -Carbon monoxide inhibits the blood's ability to carry oxygen to body tissues including vital organs such as the heart and brain. When CO is inhaled, it combines with the oxygen carrying hemoglobin of the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). Once combined with the hemoglobin, that hemoglobin is no longer available for transporting oxygen.

  6. Exposure to Nitrogen Dioxide Triggers • Eye, nose, and throat irritation. May cause impaired lung function and increased respiratory infections in young children. 

  7. Exposure to Sulfur Dioxide Health Effects • it can irritate the respiratory system. Exposure to high concentrations for short periods of time can constrict the bronchi and increase mucous flow, making breathing difficult. Children, the elderly, those with chronic lung disease, and asthmatics are especially susceptible to these effects. Sulfur dioxide can also: • Immediately irritate the lung and throat at concentrations greater than 6 parts per million (ppm) in many people.

  8. Health Risks of Lead Exposure • Short-term exposure to high levels of lead can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma or even death. Severe cases of lead poisoning are rare in Canada. • However, even small amounts of lead can be harmful, especially to infants, young children and pregnant women. Symptoms of long-term exposure to lower lead levels may be less noticeable but are still serious. Anaemia is common and damage to the nervous system may cause impaired mental function. Other symptoms are appetite loss, abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, sleeplessness, irritability and headache. Continued excessive exposure, as in an industrial setting, can affect the kidneys.

  9. Green House Effect Global Warming Abnormal Rise of Global Temperature Melting of Ice on the North and South Poles Big Masses of Evaporation that costs stronger Hurricanes Acid Rain Death to Aerial Species Poisonous Gaseous Smell Blurred Atmospheric View

  10. Acid Rain Blurredness on Atmospheric Vision Decay to the Environment Acid Rain wide range of environmental damage visibility impairment and eutrophication

  11. Acid Rain Plant and Water Damage Aesthetic Damage Visibility Impairment Groundwater Contamination Lead Content of Petrol Consumption of Unleaded Petrol

  12. Avoid breathing dirty air, and help keep our air clean! Kids: stay away from the smoke coming out of the back of the school bus or any vehicle – you don’t want to breathe that! Reduce exercise outdoors when the air is smoky or smoggy. Drive less (walk, bike, carpool or take the bus more)! When you do drive, combine car trips, keep your car tuned up, and don’t top off your tank Stop Smoking Stop Burning Plastics Minimizing usage of aerosol hairspray Stop CFC recovery on open air

  13. Gas Properties • There is a lot of “free” space in a gas. • Gases can be expanded infinitely. • Gases occupy containers uniformly and completely. • Gases diffuse and mix rapidly.

  14. A Lot of Free Spaces in Gas • A lot of free spaces in gas which allows each particle to spread on a high velocity for there is no particles that gas particles may bounce that may cause the delay of expansion

  15. Gases Expanse Infinitely • Gas expanse infinitely for there is a lot of free space that each air particle may occupy and due because gas has no definite size and shape unlike any other form of matter.

  16. Gases occupy containers uniformly and completely. • Due to gas has no definite size and shape its occupies containers on a uniform pattern and completely adjusts its self on its environment

  17. Gases Diffuse and Mix Rapidly • Due to the atmosphere has many vacant spaces and on the gas property diffusibility gases mix it self at a very high rate and combines on a very short amount of time.
