Compare between the following terms :

i) Troposphere and ionosphere layers.

Troposphere :
20km .
Temperature of the troposphere decreases with altitude.
About 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere is contained in this layer of
the atmosphere.
Ionosphere :
50 : 100kms .
Characterized by low pressure.
In this region positive ions and electron exist at significant level due to
photoionization.

ii) Smog and photochemical smog.

Smog :
is a thick layer in the atmosphere contains smoke and fog.
Smog can occur both during the day and at night.
Photochemical smog :
is a type of secondary pollutant that occurs when the chemicals given off
react with sunlight in the atmosphere.
Only happen in the presence of sunlight.

iv) PM2.5 and PM10 .

PM10 :
Total suspended particulate.
Size : from 2.5 to 10 micrometer.
Biochemical effect : They are trapped in the mucous lining, propelled up by
coordinated movement of cilia to the throat by cough.
PM2.5 :
Fine particulate matter.
Size : the particles have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers.
Biochemical effect : these particles can travel deep into our lungs and reach
the bloodstream. This leads to decrease in lung function, asthma,
respiratory symptoms like coughing and premature death.
