Question 1
Identify the different greenhouse gases base on their sources.

Response: It is released through natural processes (respiration and volcano eruptions) and human activities such as
deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels contribute to its released in the environment. => Carbon
Dioxide (CO2)

Response: It is produced through natural sources and human activities, such as decomposition of wastes in
landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation, as well as ruminant digestion and manure management
associated with domestic livestock. => Methane (CH4)

Response: It is a powerful gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic
fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning. => Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

Response: They are frequently used in air conditioning and as refrigerants. => Hydrofluoro-carbons (HFCs)

Response: It is used as solvents in the electronics industry and as refrigerants that replaces chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) in manufacturing semiconductors. => Perfluoro-carbons (PFCs)

Question 2
Identify the different ozone depleting substances based on its use/s.

Response: Use in refrigerators, air conditioners, and as aerosol propellants. =>

Chlorofluorocarbons/Hydrochlorofluorocarbons

Response: Use in fire extinguishers => Halon/Bromochloromethane

Response: Use as dry cleaning solvent and refrigerant => Carbon tetrachloride

Response: Use in fire suppression systems => Hydrobromofluorocarbons

Response: Use for fumigation of soil, structures and goods to be imported or exported. => Methyl bromide

Question 3
Identify the different regulatory bodies/treaties that govern air pollution.

Response: An international treaty among industrialized nations that sets mandatory limits on greenhouse gas
emissions. => Kyoto Protocol

Response: An international environmental treaty addressing climate change, negotiated and signed by 154 states at
the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) => United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

Response: An international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous
substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. => Montreal Protocol

Response: A comprehensive air quality management policy and program which aims to achieve and maintain
healthy air for all Filipinos. => Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act No. 8749)

Response: The executive department of the Philippine government responsible for governing and supervising the
exploration, development, utilization, and conservation of the country's natural resources. => Department of
Environment and Natural Resources

Response: A gas which is fixed by bacteria and lightning to produce ammonia which is used in the building of
nucleotides and amino acids. => Nitrogen

Response: A gas used by most organisms for respiration. => Oxygen

Response: A noble gas obtained from the air as a byproduct of the production of oxygen and nitrogen. => Argon

Response: One of the trace gases and used for photosynthesis by photosynthetic algae, plants and cyanobacteria.
=> Carbon dioxide

Response: A gas found in the lower layer or altitude of the atmosphere. It accounts for roughly 0.25% of the
atmosphere by mass. => Water vapor
