Study Notes
Air pollution and renewable energy sources are important subtopics in the study of natural resources. Air pollution, which is the presence of hazardous chemicals and substances in the atmosphere, can have a dele-
-
Air pollution:
- Air is a mixture of gases, composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and a small percentage of water vapor and other gases
- Air pollution can threaten the existence of life and can have a dele-
- S sources of air pollution:
-
- Green plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight, releasing oxygen
-
- During respiration, living organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and release carbon dioxide
-
- The fossil fuels like coal and petroleum contain small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur, which produce different oxides of nitrogen and sulphur when burnt
-
- The movements of air (wind) bring rain, but they can also bring air pollution from other regions
