What is Acid Rain also known as?
Acid deposition Acid rain refers to the precipitation of acidic components, primarily from sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
SO2 NOx
What are the primary pollutants that contribute to Acid Rain? These pollutants are released into the atmosphere and can lead to acid deposition when they react with water vapor.
What does NAPAP stand for?
National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program NAPAP was established to assess the effects of acid rain on the environment.
What technology is used to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions in industrial processes?
Scrubbers Scrubbers are devices that remove pollutants from industrial exhaust streams.
What agricultural product can be used to counteract the effects of Acid Rain?
Lime Agricultural lime can help neutralize acidic soils affected by acid deposition.
Rowland and Molina
Who proposed the Rowland and Molina Hypothesis? This hypothesis relates to the depletion of the ozone layer due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Ozone concentration
What are Dobson Units used to measure? They quantify the amount of ozone in a column of the atmosphere.
True or false: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are ozone-depleting substances.
TRUE CFCs contribute significantly to the depletion of the ozone layer.
