linked with air pollution.
Slide 17
Illness for 400 Persistent inflammation of bronchi and small
airways in the lungs that cause mucus buildup, a painful cough and
involuntary muscle spasms.
Slide 18
Illness for 600 Condition where airways become permanently
constricted and alveoli are damaged Or destroyed. Diseased
alveoli
Slide 19
Phenomena for 200 Occurs when a stable layer of warmer air
overlays cooler air, reversing the normal temperature decline
w/increasing height and preventing convection currents from
dispersing pollutants. What is this called?
Slide 20
Phenomena for 400 Name the chlorine-based aerosols which are
the principal agents of ozone depletion in the stratospheric layer.
1.Name this pollutant? 2.What were they used in/for? 3.Why is this
depletion an issue?

D. deforestation D. deforestation E. All of the above
Slide 22
Legislation for 200 The discovery of the stratospheric ozone
depletion prompted this international agreement to phase out most
uses of CFCs by the year 2000. This is called the_________, one of
the most effective international agreements ever.

Legislation for 400 Dilution is the solution to pollution was
one of the early approaches to air pollution control. Give an
example and explain its rationale.

rateof 131,000 industries and 2.5 million vehicles spew out more
than 5500 tons of air pollution daily. Which air pollutant is the
culprit and explain its effects on the children in Mexico
City.
Slide 26
Case Studies for 400 Seven of the worst cities with high air
pollution is in China. They emit 10 million tons of soot and 15
million tons of sulfur dioxide annually. How has this effected
their populations-name 2 ways.
