What detrimental impacts can sulfur
dioxide have on the environment?
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What detrimental impacts can sulfur dioxide have on
the environment?
- Formed when fossil fuels containing
impurities are burnt
- Sulfur dioxide can dissolve in water to form
acid rain which can erode buildings and
pollute water sources

What detrimental impacts can carbon
monoxide have on the environment?
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What detrimental impacts can carbon monoxide
have on the environment?
- Carbon monoxide is formed from the incomplete
combustion of fossil fuels
- Carbon monoxide binds irreversibly to haemoglobin
which prevents it from carrying oxygen
- Too much exposure can cause unconsciousness and
death

https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
State 5 negative effects of deforestation (Higher)
- Leaching
- Less CO2 taken out of the atmosphere from
photosynthesis
- Soil erosion
- Habitat disruption
- Disruption of the carbon cycle

What is evapotranspiration? (Higher)
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What effect does deforestation have on
evapotranspiration? (Higher)
- Less trees means that there will be less
evapotranspiration
- This means that less water will be returned to
the atmosphere as quickly
- This causes areas to dry up
