This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Test Tubes-CMAP PBL-Air Quality and Human Health, Rise in Temperature Increases Evaporation rate of VOCs (volatile oraganic compounds), Particulate Matter (PM) Leads To -lung/respiratory conditions -eye,nose, throat irritation -inflamation of lung tissue, scarring of lung tissue -asthma trigger -increase in daily mortality -airway irritation -those with pre-existing respiratory conditions at highest risks. -can lead to cancer, Increase in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Results in Drier Climate and Drought, Ground Level Ozone (O3) Leads to -lung/respiratory conditions -eye,nose, throat irritation -inflamation of lung tissue, scarring of lung tissue -asthma trigger -increase in daily mortality -airway irritation -those with pre-existing respiratory conditions at highest risks. -can lead to cancer, Evaporation rate of VOCs (volatile oraganic compounds) Precondition for Particulate Matter (PM), Prevalence/Severity of Forest Fires Increases Particulate Matter (PM), Dust Storms, Soil Erosion Increases Particulate Matter (PM), Increase in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Results in Rise in Temperature, Drier Climate and Drought Increases Prevalence/Severity of Forest Fires, SO2 and NO2 Oxidation Rates Increases Sulfate Concentrations, Drier Climate and Drought Increases Dust Storms, Soil Erosion, Evaporation rate of VOCs (volatile oraganic compounds) Precondition for Ground Level Ozone (O3), Sulfate Concentrations Increases Particulate Matter (PM), Change in Wind Patterns (stagnation, high barometric pressure) Increases Particulate Matter (PM), Increase in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Results in Change in Wind Patterns (stagnation, high barometric pressure), Rise in Temperature Creates rise in SO2 and NO2 Oxidation Rates
