Compare the effects of carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.

In the subtopic Properties and effects of atmospheric pollutants, this learning objective focuses on compare the effects of carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Within Common atmospheric pollutants and their sources, students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact. Approved keywords for this objective include carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen. carbon monoxide means a toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion that reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen. Avoid students often confuse the effects of carbon monoxide with those of sulfur dioxide, thinking they have similar health impacts; instead remember that carbon monoxide is toxic because it reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen, while sulfur dioxide can cause respiratory problems and contribute to acid rain. For exam answers, create a comparison table to summarize the effects of carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen on human health.
