Special_Topics : AirPollutants (20 Variations)
Which of the following air pollutants can be described as a photochemically active free radical that contributes to acid rain and respiratory irritation?
Special_Topics : RainFallpH (20 Variations) The rainfall in central Wisconsin has a pH of 4.8 (National Atmospheric Deposition Program). Take a look at the EPA webpage Effects of Acid Rain: Lakes & Streams. This site has a chart of the pH at which several aquatic species begin to suffer. Determine which of the following species will be most affected by rainfall of this acidity if the lakes and streams in central Wisconsin aren't buffered enough to neutralize some of the acid. (There may be more than one correct answer.)
Using Hydrogen Balloons To Display Metal Ion SpectraJames H. Maynard Describes a procedure for igniting hydrogen-filled balloons containing metal salts to obtain the brightest possible flash while minimizing the quantity of airborne combustion products. Maynard, James H. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 519.

"Holes" in Student Understanding: Addressing Prevalent Misconceptions Regarding Atmospheric Environmental ChemistrySara C. Kerr and Kenneth A. Walz This study evaluated the misconception that global warming is caused by holes in the ozone layer, other ideas surrounding atmospheric chemistry that are responsible for the entanglement of the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion in students' conceptual frameworks, and the effectiveness of computer-based online data-analysis exercises to address these shortcomings. Kerr, Sara C.; Walz, Kenneth A. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1693.
