Here are the three potential quiz questions. You will answer one. Have responses for them read by Thursday so that we can discuss & debate during class! They are taken from the "Seeking Solutions" section found on page 526 of Withgott.
2. How may human activity sometimes exacerbate (make worse) natural forms of air pollution? Discuss two examples and potential solutions.
3. Describe how and why emissions of major pollutants have been reduced by over 50% in the US since 1970, despite increases in population and economic activity.
5. Consider volatile chemicals, such as formaldehyde and other VOC's that may be emitted at very low levels over long periods of time from manufactured products. What do you think are the best ways to lessen the health impacts of such indoor pollutants?

Here's an excellent short documentary that shows how air and water pollution are closely linked.
