Global Ozone Project Curriculum Rev 13 Lesson 3: Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson students will be able to: Identify three main examples of carbon sources that lead to the formation of ground level ozone. Understand the sources of carbon globally that contribute to the formation of ground level ozone. Identify examples of natural and anthropogenic sources of carbon in the atmosphere. Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Exploration of Precursors in Depth Carbon Sources: CO, CH 4, VOCs Examples of carbon sources Breakdown of anthropogenic sources (cars, power plants, etc.) Breakdown of natural sources (swamps, trees, etc.) Carbon Source CO, CH 4 & VOCs Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) NO, NO2 ozone precursors Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Ozone needs carbon sources in order to form. Here are some examples of those sources Do you notice what all the molecules have in common? CO (Carbon Monoxide) CH4 (Methane) VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) Examples of Carbon Sources Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

A Closer Look at a Carbon Source – CO (Carbon Monoxide) We will look at: CO’s role in ozone formation Global anthropogenic and natural sources of CO A breakdown of anthropogenic sources of CO, globally and in the USA Other interesting information about CO CO (Carbon Monoxide) Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

The series of reactions with CO that lead to the formation of ground level ozone (we will explore this in more depth in later sections) A Closer Look at CO Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Global Anthropogenic Sources of CO Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Breakdown of Global Anthropogenic Sources of CO *Includes automobile emissions Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Global Anthropogenic CO Emissions Density Legend CO Total 2000 Units = Gigagrams of Carbon (1 Gigagram = 10 9 grams = 1,000,000,000 grams) 0 – 2 Gg CO per cell 2 – – – – – – 10,000 Gg CO per cell Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Regional Breakdown of Total Global Anthropogenic CO Emissions Why would Africa, a relatively sparsely populated continent, contribute such a large portion of the world’s anthropogenic CO emissions? Also take another look at the slide showing global map of CO emissions density. Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Let’s Take a Closer Look at Forest Clearing and Biomass Burning *Includes automobile emissions Biomass Burning: Every year farmers across the globe burn their crops at the end of the season to clear dead vegetation and kill pests. Forest Clearing: People clear forests by setting fires for animal pastures and crops (including “slash and burn” practices in the Amazon), to produce new farm land. These activities release a significant amount of CO – recall Africa’s disproportionate contribution to global CO. Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Forest Clearing and Biomass Burning as Sources of CO NASA Satellite Image of Fires Burning in Africa (in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) The red dots indicate the locations of active fires burning Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Forest Clearing and Biomass Burning as Sources of CO NASA Satellite Image of Fires Burning in Burma/Thailand/Laos The red dots indicate the locations of active fires burning Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

NASA Satellite Images of CO Concentration Fires from crop burning, forest clearing, and natural wildfires follow seasonal patterns as shown in these images. NASA Satellites measure CO in the atmosphere so we can better understand the concentrations and movements of CO around the globe. Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Anthropogenic Sources of CO in the United States Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

CO Emission Inventory for the United States Emission Inventories are created to tally the amount of CO emitted by each region of the county, in this case by county. If you live in the US, what is your county's CO Emission Density? Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Breakdown of Anthropogenic Sources of CO in the United States What are the top three sources of CO in the US? Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Natural Sources of CO Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide

Breakdown of Natural and Anthropogenic Sources of CO in the World Let’s Look at a Global Total of CO Emissions – Including Natural and Anthropogenic Sources Lesson 3 : Carbon Sources - Carbon Monoxide
