Across
- 3. Is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere, just above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere
- 5. Also known as particulate matter (PM) or particulates – are microscopic solid or liquid matter suspended in the Earth's atmosphere.
- 7. The type of air pollution that is found at usally at home and it's lethal to our health.
- 8. A place to dispose of refuse and other waste material by burying it and covering it over with soil, especially as a method of filling in or extending usable land.
- 12. Injected into the atmosphere directly.
- 15. Is a chemical compound with the chemical formula(one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen). It is a group 14 hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the main constituent of natural gas.
- 16. The resulting organic material is then recycled as mulch or compost for agricultural or landscaping purposes.
- 18. Excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
- 21. Form in the atmosphere through chemical and photochemical reactions from the primary pollutant.
- 23. Are nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. They are used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays.
- 26. Are a group of gases that are composed of nitrogen and oxygen.
- 27. Is an inorganic molecule.It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell.
- 28. Minimizing our waste.
- 29. Pollutants that floats in the water such as tires and shrubs.
Down
- 1. Is a type of radiation that is produced by the sun and some artificial sources, such as solariums.
- 2. Any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged, such as a pipe, ditch, ship or factory smokestack.
- 4. Caused or influenced by humans.
- 6. Are substance that pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere.
- 9. The type of water pollutant that is natural such as grease and oils.
- 10. Is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground.
- 11. Is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to hemoglobic animals.
- 13. Is the toxic effect of certain metals in certain forms and doses on life.
- 14. Can be defined as the release of radioactive substances or high-energy particles into the air, water, or earth as a result of human activity, either by accident or by design.
- 17. The type of air pollution that is made through a process such as ash from the volcano.
- 19. The destruction of something, especially waste material, by burning.
- 20. Recovering energy such as electricity in beneficial way and less harmful to the environment.
- 21. Are compounds of sulfur and oxygen molecules.It is a colorless gas that can be detected by taste and smell.
- 22. All nonhazardous solid waste from a community that requires collection and transport to a processing or disposal site
- 24. The type of water pollutant that is chemical and man made like arsenic.
- 25. Converting (waste) into reusable material.
