Air pollution notes; Chalk Drawings Part 1

Homework check/stamp for 
35. 'Health Effects of Smog'/'Science of Smog' video notes
(you should have 1/2 a page of notes for each video)

Continue Air Pollution notes...

NOx + VOCs + heat & sunlight = ozone (tropospheric)

The term "smog" was originally used to describe the haze that enshrouded coal-burning London at the turn of the 20th century (smoke + fog = smog)

NatGeo: Smog info HERE

How can I remember the 6 Criteria Air Pollutants that are considered human health risks?
NOSeCLiP = NOx, Ozone, SOx, CO, Lead, Particulate matter

NOTE: CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not considered an air pollutant! It is a greenhouse gas that we will discuss as we move on.

The chemistry of ozone formation HERE

Heading: Air Pollution Chalk Drawings (Part 1)
Learning Objective: I can work with my table group to draw out the process of tropospheric ozone formation, showing how it is formed and its effects.

Document HERE

You will also each turn in a packet of the three drawings at the end of this unit. We'll do the first page today.
