1) What is AQI? What levels are there for air quality?
Air Quality Index, It goes from Good, moderate, Unhealthy for sensitive groups, Unhealthy, Very unhealthy, and Hazerdous
2) What is Ozone and why are children most at risk?
Ozone is a colorless gas found in the atmosphere, children are most at risk because they are more vulnerable to the chemicals in the air that make up the ozone
3) How does air speed and wind affect the level of smog in the city? Explain.
The faster it goes the faster it is able to blow away and filter any smog in the air
4) How does temperature affect the level of smog in the city? Explain.
The hotter it is the less pollution there is
5) Which type of emission has the greatest affect on air quality? Identify and explain why.
Cars and Trucks emmitt more smog because they are burning gas all the time and letting all the chemicals go
6) Would you expect there to be more smog on a cloudy day or a clear day? Explain.
There would be more smog on clear days because the hotter it is the more the chemicals react with the sunlight to make the pollutants
RESET the simulator and try to create the WORST conditions for smog in your city- you should be able to get the air quality index up to unhealthy levels- What are the
readings for each of your variables to produce the nastiest city air? Discuss.
high populations, high temperature, and more cars and trucks, The cars are letting out more pollution and with a hot day the sunlight and those chemicals that the car is releasing will create the chemicals that are unhealthy for us, and with more people doing it the more bad it is
