Give the TWO classifications of AIR POLLUTANTS

Check all the SIX MAJOR SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

It is any longer significant change in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region?

It is the rising of temperature because of certain gases in the atmosphere ( water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, etc.) trap energy from the sun?

Check all the SIX IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE?

Added heat stress, shifting monsoons, drier soils and water shortages as a result of higher temperatures will affect livestock and crop production patterns with expanded range of weeds, insects and diseases which may reduce global food supplies and contribute to higher food prices.

The ocean circulation and wave patterns may affect biological productivity, nutrient availability and marine ecological structure and functions. Even the rainforests of the seas - the coral reat, are taking the bry t ma ged warming atmosphere, Some 30% of corsi rel reefs, already irreparably damaged (mainly due to rising sea surface temperatures).

There will be increase in health problems and death due to greater frequency and severity of heat waves and other extreme weather events. Largely to be affected are those suffering from respiratory and cardiovascular disorders as they have lesser coping capacity. Changes in weather pattern can lead to an increase in the coping capacity. Changes in weather pattern diseases. Weather changes can increase incidence of skin cancer and eye diseases such as cataract.

Decreased/increased water availability (soil erosion), Increased drought risk (including land degradation), Poor quality of water (algal blooms, etc.), Increased water demand, Domestic water supply problems, Impact on power generation

Shrinking sea ice may induce decline of Krill population and could result in less food supply to seabirds, whales, seals. Warming trend night time temperature and cloud Cover 2/3 of 110 known species of harlequins (frogs) have vanished .Subtle change ideal for chytrid disease that kills the frogs (fungus flourish in wet season turning lethal at 17°C to 25°C.Disease was the bullet that killed frogs but CLIMATE was the trigger.

Certain species migrating further north of their habitat ex: Edith's checker spot

Wastes that come directly from homes like paper, metals, bottles, plasties, woods, textiles, food wastes, rubber; leather and other forms.

Check the 3 Ways to Improve Waste Management

It is the process of converting materials into new products that may or may not resemble the original material.

What types of recycling if the "material is made back to the original material." (Ex. Newspaper to make newsprint.)

What types of recycling if the "waste materials are made into different products which may or may not be recycled." (Ex. Cardboard from waste newspaper.)
