ENGR 202 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Tetraethyllead, Environmental Engineering
Document Summary
Midterm 1: which is the role of engineering in relationship with the environmental stewardship concept, name three activities that impact air quality. Carbon monoxide (carbon containing materials are not completely combusted: nitrogen oxides (fuel combustion and industrial chimneys) Tropospheric ozone (photochemical reactions between sunlight and nitrogen oxides) Lead (combustion of leaded gasoline: name three activities that impact soil quality. Midterm 2: what is the relationship between environmental engineering and sustainable development, name three activities that impact water quality. Pathogens (human and animal feces: organic matter/waste (biodegradable organic wastes, nutrients (agriculture and detergents) Sediments (land erosion from human activities: acidity (sulphuric acid, when sulphur-bearing minerals react with water, heat (electric power plants) Midterm 3: what is green engineering, name 3 activities that impact groundwater quality, explain the main results of the tests done in the test station in vostok, antarctica. Acid rain (also known as acid deposition) refers to the fallout of acidic particles through precipitation.
