There are many health risks associated with mercury‚ sulfur dioxide‚ smog and other toxins that allow us to be at a higher risk than other regions outside of Ohio in the United States. The infant mortality rate in the state of Ohio as of 2008 was 7.7%. The crude death rate in Ohio was 955.5. While we can’t give

Running head: ACID RAIN AND ITS EFFECTS Acid Rain: The Killer Rain Twanda Banks Grantham University April 5‚ 2011 Abstract Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car‚ you could be contributing to a problem called acid rain. Acid Rain is a serious problem with devastating effects. Every day this problem increases. Many believe that this issue is too small to deal with‚ but if the acid rain problem is not met with head on‚ the effects on people‚ plants‚ animals‚ and the

may be natural or man-made.[2] Pollutants can be classified as primary or secondary. Usually‚ primary pollutants are directly emitted from a process‚ such as ash from a volcanic eruption‚ the carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or sulfur dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Rather‚ they form in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. An important example of a secondary pollutant is ground level ozone — one of the many secondary pollutants

the many of the by-products produced during the recycling are poisonous. So lead recycling can be broadly divided into to two categories * Removal of lead * Pollution control Major pollutants in lead recycling: * Lead * Sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxides * Carbon monoxide * Nitrogen oxides * Arsenic Impact of lead exposure: Lead poisoning is the most serious environmental health threat to children and one of the most significant contributors to occupational disease

liquid with a sulfurous odor. It is a weak acid that is formed when sulfur dioxide is dissolved in water. Sulfurous acid is used as a bleaching and chemical reducing agent that is often used in medicine‚ throat and nasal sprays and skin lotions. Antiseptics‚ anti-fermentative‚ and antizymotics include sulfites that are formed from the acid. This compound is only stable in aqueous solutions‚ and decomposes back into sulfur dioxide and water when left standing. In addition‚ sulfurous acid is a crucial

causes of the haze. WS: Pollutants are caused by open burning‚ smoke emitted from vehicles and factories without particle filters such as nitrogen dioxide (reddish-brown toxic gas has a characteristic sharp‚ biting odor)‚ and sulphur dioxide (coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds‚ their combustion generates sulfur dioxide unless the sulfur compounds are removed before burning the fuel). HM: Yes‚ and based on my researches‚ the other pollutant is ozone‚ O3‚ or trioxide‚ is a triatomic

Much of the world’s air‚ water‚ and land is now partially poisoned by pollution. Some places have become uninhabitable. This pollution exposes people all around the globe to new risks from disease. Many species of plants and animals have become endangered or are now extinct. The air pollution comes
