Air Pollution and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Chapter 15 Air Pollution and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion

Air Pollution Definition: the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or microorganisms into the atmosphere at concentrations high enough to harm plants, animals, and materials such as buildings, or to alter ecosystems.

Major Air Pollutants Sulfur Dioxide Volatiles Organic Compounds Nitrogen Oxides Carbon Oxides Particulate Matter Volatiles Organic Compounds Ozone Lead Mercury

Natural Sources of Air Pollution Volcanoes Lightning Forest fires Plants

Anthropogenic Sources of Air Pollution Transportation Power plants Industrial processes Waste disposal

Primary Pollutants Secondary Pollutants Secondary pollutants- pollutants that have undergone transformation in the presence of sunlight, water, oxygen, or other compounds. Examples: ozone, sulfate and nitrate Primary pollutants- polluting compounds that come directly out of the smoke-stack, exhaust pipe, or natural emission source. Examples: CO, CO2, SO2, NOx, and most suspended particulate matter.

Photochemical Smog

Acid Deposition (Acid Rain) Nitrogen oxides and Sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere and combine with atmospheric oxygen and water. These form the secondary pollutants nitric acid and sulfuric acid. These secondary pollutants further break down into nitrate and sulfate which cause the acid in acid deposition.

Effects of Acid Deposition Lowering the pH of lake water Decreasing species diversity of aquatic organisms Mobilizing metals that are found in soils and releasing these into surface waters Damaging statues, monuments, and buildings

Thermal Inversions Thermal Inversion- when a relatively warm layer of air at mid-altitude covers a layer of cold, dense air below. The warm inversion layer traps emissions that then accumulate beneath it.

Ways to Prevent Air Pollution Removing sulfur dioxide from coal by fluidized bed combustion Catalytic converters on cars Scrubbers on smoke stacks Baghouse filters Electrostatic precipitators
