Document Summary

An aerobic environment has the presence of oxygen, anerobic doesnt. Into factory goes n2 and h2 , in the factory there is a source of heat and pressure and out from the factory comes nh3. Three ways that huma]ns increase the co2 concentration in the atmosphere: lowest :cement production, deforestation, highest :fossil fuel combustion direct ways. Ozone 3 environmental problems: too much in trophosphere leads to smog and greenhouse effect, not enough in stratosphere being destroyed by cfc"s and nitric oxide. Nox reacts with voc"s and sunlight to form atmospheric ozone. Cfc"s are destroyed and destroy in the stratosphere. A sink is the way something is removed.
