W1 空氣、水和土壤污染物 要 點(diǎn) 空氣污染 空氣污染是由人類活動(dòng)引起的天然與合成的有害物質(zhì)向大氣中的排放。污染物可直接進(jìn)入大氣(初級(jí)污染物),或在太陽(yáng)輻射的影響下于大氣中產(chǎn)生(次級(jí)污染物)。已表明會(huì)給環(huán)境和健康帶來(lái)威脅的主要空氣污染物包括氧化氮類、二氧化硫、臭氧和固體顆粒??諝馕廴疽材芨淖儦夂蛞约巴寥?、湖泊和河流的化學(xué)性質(zhì)。 籠罩著空氣污染的城市 Water bodies in northern temperate regions of Europe and North America have suffered form acidification due to ‘a(chǎn)cid rain is a result of fossil fuel burning, which produces sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitric oxide (NO) which may bine with atmospheric water to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HCO3), respectively, The term ‘a(chǎn)cid deposition’ is more accurate as acid may also be deposited from the air in the form of snow, sleet and fog. Acid rain reduces the pH of soil and lakes, while acidification can also cause the death of trees and allow toxic metals (. aluminium and mercury) to be leached from soils and sediments.

The eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems occurs due to an excess of inanic nutrients. Organic matter in the water is broken down by microanisms that deplete the oxygen levels, which may be quantified by the ‘biochemical oxygen demand’ (BOD). A particularly important class of anic water pollutants is the family of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a g
