What else can I help you with?
Are all pollutants man made?
No, pollutants can be natural. Volcanoes often emit sulfur dioxide for instance.
Pollutants that are not broken down by natural processes are?
nondegradable
Why can we not just leave it to natural process to decompose pollutants dumped into the oceans?
There are too much pollutants being dumped for natural processes to cope with. We must reduce the amount and toxicity of pollutants we dump in order to help nature cope.
Do natural gas produce more air pollutants than oil?
No.
What is natural pollution?
Natural pollution refers to pollutants or contaminants that are released into the environment as a result of natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and erosion. These pollutants can include gases, particulate matter, and chemicals that can have detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health.
What is the difference between secondary and primary pollutants?
Some Primary pollutants are like when humans directly put them in the air Secondary pollutants are like when pollutants react with Primary and other Primary pollutants.
What are some Ill-effects of different pollutants?
chemicals and waste products are examples of pollutants
Which fossil fuel produces the lowest overall levels of air pollutants?
Natural gas.
What are the 5 Natural Air Pollutants?
air,water,noise,redioactivesiil or land pollution
What the difference between primary and secondary pollutants?
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant
How do primary pollutants form?
There are two main types of primary pollutants: man-made pollutants and natural pollutants. Man-made primary pollutants are formed largely from combustion reactions used to create electricity and run the over one billion cars that are in the world today. These pollutants include Sulfur oxides (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfur trioxide), Carbon oxides (Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide), and Nitrogen oxides (Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide). Another type of man-made primary pollutant includes VoCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are largely responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Natural primary pollutants are formed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, and volcano eruptions, and include dust, ash, and salt particles.
How much contaminants have been identified as air pollutants?
How many are other than pollen, fog, and dust, which are of natural origin, more contaminants have been identified as air pollutants?
