Chemical losses

The primary chemical cleansing agent and the troposphere is the hydroxyl radical

Dry and wet deposition

Relative importance depends on, the phase of the substance gas or particle. The solubility at the substance in water. The mount a precipitation in the region. Terrain and type of surface cover

Dry deposition depends on

Turbulence at surface. For gasses, solubility and reactivity play a role. For particles, size density and shape. Properties of the surface

Wet deposition requires

Interception. Scavenging. Delivery

Fundamental principle conversion of mass

Chemical transformation, VOC

VOC--> CO2 + H2O

Burning of carbon based fuels

National ambient air quality standards

Control based on air quality criteria, 2 types primary which is health based and secondary which is welfare based And States must prepare implementation plans (sips)

Hazardous air Pollutants (HAPS)

Put in s'more hazardous thing criteria pollutants but are difficult to determine safe level the sources are often localized exposure

Classification of sources

Primary are emitted to the atmosphere and secondary are formed in the atmosphere

Carbon monoxide source

Incomplete combustion of carbon fuels.


Sink : CO + OH --> CO2 + H

National carbon monoxide a missions by source sector

The global atmospheric processing of reactive nitrogen

Global sources of nitrogen oxide

Trends and politicians over time

Volitile organic compounds VOC

Compounds primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon period of volitile meaning high propensity to be in a gaseous state Examples include methane benzene and isoprene

Biogenics VOC emissions sensitive to

Temperature, my, vegetation type and canopy structure

National volatile organic compounds emissions by source

Well tile organic compound emissions by sources In multnomah county

Build-up of ozone

Is due to the chemical reactions of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight

Ozone formation and the troposphere

Formation of ozone with NO

Tropospheric oxidation of general Hydrocarbon

So more and 02 is produced that makes more ozone

Formation of ozone simplified

Diurnal variations in precursors and photochemical oxidants

Modeling ozone formation

Urban air shed modeling

Anthropogenic nox emissions in the US by source category

Ozone concentrations versus nox and VOC emissions

Ozone reduction and control is complicated reducing one or both could do nothing or even increase ozone. Nox creates and destroys ozone so relationship None linear
