Fichas del conjunto (11)
- 1Carbon DioxideSymbol - CO2
Source -Fossil fuel combustion, respiration, decomposition and volcanoes
Effect - Respiratory problems, nerve damage, asphyxiation and acidemia
Direct or Indirect - All direct but nerve damage - 2Carbon MonoxideSymbol - CO
Source - Waste product from fossil fuel combustion, mainly gas appliances and volcanoes
Effect - Reduces carrying capacity of blood by sticking to cells, asphyxiation, less oxegyn delivered to organs and tissues and death
Direct or Indirect - All direct - 3Carbon ParticulatesSymbol - C
Source - Incomplete combustion, industrial plants, easel exhaust, fossil fuel combustion
Effect - Bronchitis, Carcinogenic (cancer causing), can worsen respiratory problems, can cause irregular heartbeat
Direct or Indirect - All direct but irregular heart beat - 4Sulphur DioxideSymbol - SO2
Source - Combustion of fuels contain sulphur, extraction of metal from ore, extraction of gasoline from oil and coal burning plants
Effect - Respiratory problems, eye irritation, heart failure, circulatory collapse, pulmonary oedema and a corneal haze
Direct or Indirect - Mostly direct - 5Nitrogen MonoxideSymbol - NO
Source - Foremed in same ways as nitrogen dioxide but also is found natually in the body
Effect - Respiratory problems and cardiovascular and immune system involvement.
Direct or Indirect - Direct - 6Nitrogen dioxideSymbol - NO2
Source - Released naturally from lightning, natural fries, burring of fossil fuels and biomasses
Effect - Respiratory problems, Asphma attacks, Enphisema, Bronchitis and heart desease
Direct or Indirect - Direct - 7Problems of CO2Greenhouse gas
- 8Problems of COAcidic gas so helps cause acid rain
- 9Problems of NO2A poisonous gas that reacts with blood
- 10Problems of SO2Makes things dirty and can get into your lungs and contributes to acid rain
- 11Soot (carbon particulates)Acid rain
