Earth's Atmosphere
Evolution
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Air
Earths atmosphere is a mixture of gasses surrounding the planet
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Water Vapour
Carbon Monoxide
Is caused by incomplete combustion of petrol and diesel
The problem of carbon monoxide is that it's poisonous and that you cant see or smell it
The solution to fix this is a catalytic converter as it removes the gas from the exhaust and converts it to carbon dioxide
Polution
Nitrogen dioxide
Is caused by the internal combustion engine
The problem of this is that it causes photochemical smog and rain
Solution to this problem is to use a catalytic converter that removes the gas from the engine of a car
Sulfur dioxide
Sulfur dioxide formed when sulfur impurities burn in fossil fuels
causes acid rain that will kill plants, kill aquatic life, erodes stonework and corrodes metals
Sulfur dioxide is acidic so it can be removed from a gas stream by passing through alkaline solutions.
