Question

1.4 Production
Investiga en la web o en una enciclopedia los siguientes elementos contaminantes del medio ambiente:
Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Suspended Particle Matter, Ozone, Lead. En tu
cuaderno o computadora, escribe una breve descripción de cada uno de ellos en inglés.​

Answer 1

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide, also called carbon (II) oxide, carbonaceous gas and carbonaceous anhydride, whose chemical formula is CO, is a colorless and highly toxic gas. It can cause death when breathed in at high levels.

Nitrogen dioxide

Nitrogen dioxide or nitrogen oxide (IV), is a chemical compound formed by the elements nitrogen and oxygen, one of the main pollutants among the various nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen dioxide is yellowish-brown in color.

Sulfur dioxide

Sulfur dioxide, or sulfur (IV) oxide, is an oxide whose molecular formula is SO₂. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic irritating odor. It is a reducing substance that, over time, in contact with air and humidity, turns into sulfur trioxide

Particulate matter is one of the most studied atmospheric pollutants in the world, it is defined as the set of solid and / or liquid particles (with the exception of pure water) present in suspension in the atmosphere

Ozone

Chemical compound

Ozone is a substance whose molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms, formed when the two atoms that make up oxygen gas dissociate. Each released oxygen atom binds to another gaseous oxygen molecule, forming ozone molecules.

Lead

Chemical element

Lead is a chemical element on the periodic table, whose symbol is Pb and its atomic number is 82 according to the current table, since it was not part of Mendeleev's periodic table. This chemical did not recognize it as a common metallic element because of its great molecular elasticity
