Ground level ozone (also known as tropospheric ozone) is ______________________.

• a significant source of air pollution and contributes to the formation of smog

• also found in the exosphere

• found only in rural areas

• a significant source of air pollution and contributes to the increase in the hole in the ozone layer.

Nitrous oxides enter the atmosphere from _____________________.

• fossil fuels

• meteorites

• ozone depletion

• CFC's

The most common source of carbon monoxide comes from _____________________________.

• vehicles

• swamp gases

• industrial sources

• none of these

Which of the following is an adverse (negative) health effect from air pollution?

• allergic reactions

• bronchial inflammation in the lungs

• eye and lung irritants

• All of these are correct

Many countries depend on the energy from fossil fuels. Some scientists suggest using renewable sources of energy instead. Why would scientists MOST likely suggest using renewable sources of energy?

• They are safer for the environment.

• They are cheaper to develop.

• They are easier to transport.

• They produce more energy.

Why are scientists concerned with ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere?

• because it causes greater levels of ground-level ozone.

• because it allows ultraviolet radiation to reach Earth's surface.

• because it increases the amount of smog in highly populated cities.

• because it decreases global temperatures by decreasing incoming solar radiation.
