affects the world climate. Environmental issues have made a huge impact on Norway. Acid rain is one of the most serious environmental problems that Norway faces. Acid rain is caused by Sulfur Dioxide emissions. The Sulfur Dioxide emissions have decreased incredibly since the 1970’s‚ because of the UNECE Sulfur Protocols. But this has not stopped the horrible after-effects that the acid rain had caused. Much of the lands soil and surface water is extremely susceptible to acidification. This created

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

Abundance and Extraction of Metals 1. a Mineral - A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid‚ with a definite chemical composition‚ and an ordered atomic arrangement. b Ore - Deposit in the Earth of valuable metals contained in minerals. c Economic Natural Resource Deposit - This is a natural deposit of something that is economically viable to mine‚ refine and sell. Hence the deposit must be big enough to last for a large period of time‚ so that it will make enough money for the

atmospheric pollution. Acid rain contains two types of acids: nitric and sulfuric. These chemicals‚ or precursors‚ are emited by natural sources such as volcanoes and decaying vegetation. Man-made sources are also primary causes for emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that come from fossil fuel combustion. The most common emiters of these fossil fuels are power plants‚ factories and automobiles. Acid rain does not only degrade the environment‚ it causes negative issues on political

For many historians the effect of pollution on historical sites is a daily battle. Acid rain and smog eat into marble causing small holes in the stone. The Acropolis in Greece is one of main sites that is having this problem. All over the world buildings and historical sites are having problems with pollution and the growth of cities near the site. The Spinx is crumbling and through the centuries various repairs have been done to it‚ but that has only aided the damage from smog and traffic. The Roman

probable cause and sufficient evidence that the Mosquito Magnet® was the proximal cause of Mrs. McCool’s death. According to him there is evidence that the “Patriot Mosquito Magnet” (the McCool’s trap is an Independence model) is capable of releasing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions within the range consistent with induction of restrictive airways which may have caused Mrs. McCool to suffer a transient hypoxia and dizziness that in turn caused her to fall onto the pool deck and

What Causes Acid Rain? {2} {2} Acid rain caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere‚ where they mix and react with water‚ oxygen‚ and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants‚ known as acid rain.{2} Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by wind. As a result‚ the two compounds can travel long distances where

colorless 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

Automobile Air Pollution Efforts to improve the standard of living for humans‚ through the control of nature and the development of new products have also resulted in the pollution of the environment. 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
