Topic 6 Mind Map - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Maintains suitable temperatures
      - Caused by gases reducing heat losses
- - - - Damage to plants- degrades chlorophyll
      - Damage to humans- breathing difficulties
      - Damage to material - rubber, plastics, fabrics
    - - NO (nitric oxide) reacts with oxygen to form NO2 (nitrogen oxide). When NO2 absorbs sunlight, it breaks into NO and O (oxygen). The O reacts with other O atoms to form O3 (ozone).
    - - Burning most organic materials/fossil fuels release small particles of carbon referred to as particulates or PM10.
    - - Carcinogenic
      - Reduce plant activity
  - - - Ozone (O3)
      - Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
      - VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
      - PANs (Peroxyacyl Nitrates)
    - - Coughing
      - Decreased concentration
    - - Topography
      - Climate
      - Population density
- - - - Acid deposition usually has a pH < 5 as it includes primary pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, forming secondary pollutants of sulphuric acid and nitric acid
        
        Natural sources of sulphur dioxide
        
        Volcanoes
        
        hot springs
        
        biodegradation of dead material
        
        Natural sources of nitrogen oxides
