The 6 Basic Air Pollutants

• Ozone (O3)
• Particulate Matter
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
• Lead (Pb)

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.

Excessive Particulate Matter Pollutions Leads to
Respiratory Diseases

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) are
  characterised by an increase in Airway
  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 the diaphragm can be seen on
  chest radiograph
• 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.

• 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

• Groundwater Contamination
• Lead Content of Petrol
• Consumption of Unleaded Petrol

• Acid Rain
• Plant and Water Damage
• Aesthetic Damage
• Visibility Impairment

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 dont 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 dont 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.
