Non-Metal Oxides in Air (1 Viewer)

[_melissa_]

Hey everyone,

I've been assigned to find graphs or tables which corroborate the claim that levels of non-metal oxeds in the air are on the rise. However, I'm having trouble finding such a graph or table.

Any help?

Maybe look up the Australian Bureau of Statistics website or type in "oxides in air- graphs" in a search engine such as google.

I found one website (I'm not sure whether it'll help):

still an issue of debate i believe... soem scientists believe it's seasonal fluctuation...

I found one graph earlier (i cant remember the site now), and it showed there was a decrease in non-metal oxides in the air over the years...hmmm...

monitoring of levels of non metals oxides in the air has only been possible since the 60s/70s i believe, so in that time because of international accords on polution such as the clean air act there seems to be a decrease.

what you need to find is graphs showing metal oxides found in things like samples of glacial ice and dirt which can be dated, giving information on the pollutants in the air for millions of years... this indicates general increase in non metal oxide levels

hope that helps you
