1 week lesson: Will the Air Be Clean Enough To Breathe? What are the interactions of factors that affect a region's air quality?
Students explore the air quality index and factors that contribute to poor air quality events. Students use models to explore how pollutants move throughout the atmosphere. Students explore data about the sources and consequences of different types of pollutant emissions. Students use models to explore how primary pollutant emissions interact with environmental components to form secondary pollutants. Students also examine how secondary pollutants impact the environment and human health. Students use models to explore how atmospheric structure and conditions affect the severity of a pollution event. Students examine some methods of reducing emissions from pollution sources.
