1. carbon monoxide from cars

2. carbon monoxide

2.1. poisons blood to form carboxy haemogoblin

3. causes of air pollution

3.1. deforestation

3.2. burning of waste material

3.3. indsutrial pollution

4. carbon monoxide from cars

4.1. combines with haemoglobin to from carboxyhaemoglobin... poisonous. Which can be harmful to Human

4.2. Comes from car exhast and from burning of fossil fuels

4.3. Smoking produces CO. Don't smoke.

4.4. colourless gas

5. The 3 air pollutants

5.1. Carbon monoxide

5.1.1. Incomplete of fossil fuels due to the lack of oxygen

5.2. Sulfur dioxide

5.2.1. Due to combustion of fossil fuels which contain sulfur impurities

5.2.2. First, nitrogen combines with oxygen to form nitrogen monoxide. Then, nitrogen monoxide combines with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide

5.3. Oxides of nitrogen

6. oxygen

6.1. combustion in factories and vehicles

6.1.1. carbon dioxide

6.1.1.1. greenhouse effect

6.1.1.1.1. Global warming

6.1.2. sulfur dioxide

6.1.2.1. acid rain

6.1.2.1.1. corrode buildings and statues

6.1.2.1.2. poison fishes

6.2. Leaches nutrients from soil

6.2.1. REducing Effects of Acid Rain

6.2.1.1. Calcium Carbonate to neutralize acid in lakes and rivers

6.2.1.1.1. Expensive and Temporary

6.2.1.2. Catalytic Converter & Flue Gas Desulfurisation

6.2.1.2.1. Help reduce emission of acid gases

6.2.1.2.2. Helps remove air pollutants in Vehicle Exhaust

6.2.2. Plants Wither and DIe

7. sources of air pollutants

7.1. CO-incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances,

7.1.1. sulfur dioxide-volcanic eruption

8. Acid Rain

8.1. Harmful Effects

8.2. Other Measures

8.2.1. Burn less Fossil Fuels

8.2.2. Switch to Hybrid

8.2.3. Use lightweight alloys to make car bodies to improve fuel efficency

9. Prohibition of the use of open fires for disposal of domestic and industrial waste

10. Acidifies Lakes and Streams

10.1. Aquatic Plants and Animals DIe

11. Water Vapour: 1% (Variable depending on environmental factors)

12. Combustion of fossil fuels which contain sulfur impurities .

12.1. Use public transport.

13. what we should do to prevent air pollution

13.1. Do not burn plastic

13.1.1. prevent driving.

13.2. Fitting all petrol driven cars with catalytic convereters

13.3. Introduction of unleaded petrol and phasing out of leaded petrol

13.4. Reduction of permissible level of sulfur in diesel.

14. Carbon Monoxide

14.1. poison human's blood to form carboxyhaemogoblin

14.1.1. lead to lesser oxygen to organs in the body

14.1.1.1. lead to death

15. Sulfur Dioxide

16. More occurences of unusual weather conditions

17. Effects of Global Warming

17.1. Greenhouse Gases

17.1.1. carbon cycle

17.1.1.1. Respiration
