1. a. Air pollution
b. The definition of environmental pollution
Environmental pollution is any physical, chemical or biological
change that do not benefit by the environment.

The effects of air pollution on humans


- Causes the diseases related to the lungs, nervous system,
cancer and cataract.
-

causes the deformity of brain, slow to act to the responses and


also death.

The effects of air pollution on plants


- Air pollution decreases the rate of photosynthesis by plants
reducing the amount of light received by them, closes the

129

STF MODULE SCIENCE SPM

stomata, decreases the pH of soil, affects the growth of plants


and damages the trees of the forests.
The effects of air pollution on the global climate
Air pollution changes the climate. The atmospheric
temperature increases and bring about drought and floods if
the polar caps melt may occur. The water temperature
increases and will reduce the solubility of oxygen in water.

Essay question
(a)

(i)

Food spoilage is caused by the activity of enzymes in the food and


the activity of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi acting on the
food causing the food to decompose.
Pasteurisation
( 1 mark )
In this process the liquid food usually milk and fruit juices are heated
to 630C for 30 minutes or to 720C for 15 seconds and then cooled
rapidly. The sudden change in temperature destroys the
microorganisms. However, the spores are not destroyed and therefore
the pasteurized food cannot last long if kept outside. The food retains
it original taste, colour and nutrients.
( 1 mark )
Canning
( 1 mark )
In this processthe food is cleaned, prepared and heated under
pressure to temperature as high as 1150C 1210C to stop the enzyme
activity and destroy the microorganisms. Then the sterilised food is
put into sterilised cans and heated to about 820C to remove the air
and later the cans are sealed. The sealed cans containing the food are
sterilized again. Canned food have a long shelf life.

Conclusion:
From the experiment, it is found that the change in mass for neoprene is very
small but the change in mass for natural rubber is larger.
Therefore, synthetic rubber is more resistant to chemicals than natural
rubber.
