AIR POLLUTIONLynda Salguero

PURPOSE

To determine the amount of air pollution in Ennis as compared to the amount found in our surrounding cities and commercialize corresponding measures of action (i.e. carpooling, recycling-it reduces production emissions, planting trees, etc.) Also to research the source of said emissions so as to be more efficient in choosing measures of action.

CORRESPONDING THREE COURSE OBJECTIVES

Air Pollution Measurement

Major Air Pollutants

Remediation/Reduction of Air Pollution

SETTING UP 1. Cut one large poster board in to four equal squares. 2. Use a permanent marker to write the location where you

plan to put each of the four squares across the top of the square. For example, you may write "home" on one poster board and "bus garage" on another.

3. Punch a hole out of the top center of each of the poster boards, and string a piece of yarn through it. Leave enough room to make a loop to hang the poster board, then tie a knot.

4. Draw a medium-sized square in the middle of each of your poster board squares. They must be exactly the same size to make the experiment fair.

5. Cover the inside of that medium square with vaseline 6. Hang your poster boards up in the location that is

written on them. Wait five to seven days, and then go pick them up.

EVALUATING AMOUNT OF AIR POLLUTION

Examine which places had the most air pollution by using a magnifying glass to count all of the particles that collected on the petroleum jelly squares.

Record all information in a journal
