Human sources like the combustion of fossil fuels and natural sources like volcanoes, release nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. They lead tropospheric ozone, formation of
photochemical smog, and nitric acid in the atmosphere, causing acid rain. Other pollutants are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter.

Nitrogen oxide is produced early in the day. Ozone concentrations peak in the afternoon and in the summer because ozone is produced when heat and sunlight cause chemical reactions between  (NOX ) and (VOC), which are also known as hydrocarbons.

During a thermal inversion, the normal temperature grade in the atmosphere is altered from (bottom to top) hot to cold to cold-hot-cold, trapping pollutants near the surface.

There are a variety of natural sources of particulate matter, such as PM10, which causes upper respiratory concerns, and PM 2.5, which causes lower respiratory concerns.

Radon-222 is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium found in some rocks and soils, which can infiltrate through cracks, leading to lung cancer.

Carbon Monoxide is an asphyxiant, attaching to RBC, and with high levels during winter due to fireplaces and furnaces being used a lot more.

A vapor recovery nozzle is a control device on a gasoline pump that prevents toxins from escaping into the atmosphere when fueling a motor vehicle. ]]> 2021-01-27 00:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez611/fwzyhlr18h6b96mi/wish/1129494258 msanchez611 https://padlet.com/msanchez611/fwzyhlr18h6b96mi/wish/1129502187 STB-2.G.3: Catalytic Converter
A catalytic converter is an air pollution control device for internal combustion engines that converts pollutants (CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons) into less harmful molecules (CO2, N2, O2, and H2O).
