Effects of Acid Precipitation:1. acidification of aquatic ecosystems

neutralizing: treating with a base to counteract the acid

e.g. liming a lake

Water Pollution: Oil Spills: oil is toxic, slow to break down, and

difficult to clean up

Page 13: Pollution SNC1D. Pollution: harmful contaminants released into the environment.

Water Pollution: Oil Spills: oil is toxic, slow to break down, and

difficult to clean up (because its density is less than that of water, it forms large slicks that cover the ocean and beach)

Bioremediation: the use of micro-organisms (bacteria) to consume and break down environmental pollutants

What is air pollution? Air pollution is our air mixed with dirty contaminants-smoke, dust, dirt, and gases such as carbon monoxide. Sometimes it is invisible.
