AIR AND WATER

• Reducing the Effects of Environmental Issues


• The effects of climate change and acid rain are far reaching and strategies are needed to reduce
their impact
•
Dealing with Climate Change
• The production of greenhouse gases needs to be reduced drastically to avoid or at least slow climate
change
• CO2 emissions can be reduced by using hydrogen and renewable energy supplies such as solar or
wind energy instead of burning fossil fuels
• Reducing the amount of livestock farming would decrease the methane emissions produced from
digestion in animals
• Planting more trees would remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
• Dealing with Acid Rain
• Acid rain is caused by oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide
• The effects of acid rain can be reduced by decreasing the amount of oxides of nitrogen and sulfur
dioxide that are produced
• Catalytic convertors in vehicles can be used to remove oxides of nitrogen
• Emissions of sulfur dioxide can be reduced by either:
• Using fuels which contain low levels of sulfur
• Flue gas desulfurisation - this involves reacting the sulfur dioxide emitted from burning fuels
