Aerosol Blog!


An aerosol is a substance like dirt or dust and other particulates. Aerosols in the atmosphere are a mixture of different things (solid + liquid). The aerosols in the atmosphere effect climate change because the particles can either absorb heat or reflect it. Some aerosols like dust and dirt can actually hurt some life on earth because it gets into people lungs and cause them to get sick. Other aersosols like sea salt are good for health.


Ozone Blog Redo


Surface ozone is natural ozone that is created where sunlight or chemicals break apart oxygen. Ozone can block violent rays that can cause skin cancer and other harmful skin conditions. The ozone is harmful to humans because it can inflame our lings and greaten our risk for asthma and other breathing complications. The surface ozone is naturally formed by chemicals. The ozone can affect humans health by causing chest pains; coughing; irritated throat; congestion; and it can worsen asthma and other breathing problems. Most cleaning supplies that have chemicals give off VOC’s which are volatile organic compounds, which can harm the earth’s ozone.  Oxides of nitrogen are a compound of oxygen and nitrogen. Ozone is good on earth because it blocks out a lot of violent light beams that can harm the earth or humans on earth.

group review


Three things that went good
·       One thing that went good was that our whole group worked together to get things done.
·       The second thing that went good was that we didn’t argue or complain.
·       The last thing that went good was that we finished on time.

Three things that should be fixed
·       didn't like how only one person did almost everything.
·       didn't like how when I tried to help someone I was told to leave them alone.
·       The last thing is when some people in the group don’t want to commit to the group.
