A potentially hazardous mixture of secondary pollutants formed by solar irradiation of certain primary pollutants in the presence of oxygen. Electrostatic precipitation A pollution-control method in which combustion waste products are electrically charged and then collected on plates of opposite electric charge Mechanical filtering A pollution-control method in which the combustion of waste products passes into filters that trap particles too large to pass through Scrubbing A pollution-control method involving an aqueous solution that removes particles and sulfur oxides from industrial combustion processes Collision theory For a reaction to occur, reactant molecules must collide in proper orientation with sufficient kinetic energy Activation energy The minimum energy required for the successful collision of reactant particles in a chemical reaction Catalytic converter The reaction chamber in an auto exhaust system designed to accelerate the conversion of potentially harmful exhaust gases to nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, and water vapor Ozone shield The protective layer of stratospheric ozone that absorbs intense solar ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living organisms Ozone thinning and location Over 170 countries have joined the Montreal Protocol, seeks to reduce CFCs. The hole in the ozone is over Antarctica Air quality Reducing pollutants such as carbon dioxide emissions will improve air quality
