Question
Chapter 40.3, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effects that smog, particulates, acid deposition, and the thinning ozone layer have on life.
Concept introduction:
Smog is released from the industries and automobiles which can cause haze environment or atmosphere. Acid rain is formed by the nitrogen and sulfur dioxide. The thinning of ozone layer means the slow depletion of ozone.
