● This needs to be HAND DRAWN and WRITTEN, not completed on a computer.
● Use plain white paper 8x11.5 paper, one side only. NO more than 2 pages to complete.
● Organization: number each section- use a ruler or other creative ways to separate each section
● Appropriate use of color (using colored pencils, pens or fine tip markers) DO NOT just color large sections different colors.
Completed Grade
1. (7.1) Make a small chart. List and define primary pollutants and secondary pollutants. Give 3 specific
examples of each. What are the three main anthropogenic sources of gaseous air pollution?
2. (7.1) List ALL primary pollutants released from coal combustion and motor vehicle exhaust.
3. (7.1) What are the provisions of the Clean Air Act? How does cap and trade relate to the Clean Air Act?
Which primary air pollutants were targeted by the Clean Air Act?
4. (7.2) Create a chart that lists the primary pollutants, (and their anthropogenic sources) the secondary
pollutants, and the effects on human health of photochemical smog. Include a labeled diagram that
illustrates the formation of photochemical smog. Give three things that can be done to reduce the
formation of photochemical smog. Explain the effects of photochemical smog on human health.
5. (7.2) Create a labeled diagram that illustrates how ground-level ozone forms. Include the reactants,
environmental conditions, and products of ozone formation. What accelerates the formation of ground
level ozone? What measures can be taken to reduce ground level ozone formation from occurring?
Explain the effects of ground level ozone on human health.
6. (7.3) Create a labeled diagram that illustrates the effects of thermal inversions and their effect on
outdoor air pollution. Give two things that can be done to help mitigate the effects of thermal
inversions. What are the human health effects of thermal inversions?
7. (7.4) Create a labeled diagram of the carbon cycle. Include the processes of photosynthesis, cellular
respiration, decomposition, combustion, volcanism. Identify which processes are naturally occurring
and which are anthropogenic. Identify 3 sources of naturally occurring particulate matter.
8. (7.5) Make a chart and list each of the following indoor air pollutants found in homes. For each
pollutant, give the source (anthropogenic, combustion, or natural) of the pollutant and give the effects
on human health. Carbon monoxide, particulates (including asbestos, dust, and smoke), radon-222,
mold, dust, VOCs, formaldehyde, lead, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and tobacco smoke. Provide 2
ways that radon-222 can be prevented from entering homes. Which areas of the world have the most
problems with indoor air pollutants? Which areas of the world have the most problems with outdoor
air pollution?
9. (7.6) Create a chart. List the reduction method, (vapor recovery nozzle on gas pump, catalytic converter,
wet and dry scrubbers, baghouse filters, fluidized-bed combustion, and electrostatic precipitators)
identify the targeted pollutant, identify the source of the pollutant, and whether the method is a
regulatory practice, conservation practice, or an alternative fuel.
10. (7.7) Create a chart that lists the primary pollutant(s), (and their anthropogenic sources), secondary
pollutant(s), areas of the world most affected by it, and the effects (both human health and
ecosystems) of acid deposition (acid rain). Include a labeled diagram that illustrates the formation of
acid rain. List three things that can be done to reduce the formation of acid rain.
Describe the effects of acid rain on soil, water, and, plants, and outdoor structures.
11. (7.8) Define noise pollution. Identify 4 different categories of sources of noise pollution in urban
centers. Identify the 4 different ecological effects of noise pollution on animals in urban ecological
systems.
