Answer to Question 1

The two major acids involved in acid deposition are nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Nitric acid primarily comes from tailpipe emissions (56) and fuel combustion at fixed sites (39), and sulfuric acid primarily comes from fuel combustion (mostly from coal-burning power plants) (86).

Answer to Question 2

(A)n acid is any chemical that releases hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A base is any chemical that releases hydroxide ions (OH, oxygen-hydrogen groups with an extra electron) when dissolved in water. pH is (t)he concentration of hydrogen ions. . . . The pH scale is a way of measuring the amount of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14 . Numbers below 7 represent acids, and numbers above 7 represent bases.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
