Air Quality Assessment in Populated Area, Houston Focused on NOx & SO2 Eon S. Lee
3
Order Outdoor Pollution Source Common Pollutants in Urban Area Population & NOx Distribution Annual NOx Concentration Annual SO 2 Concentration Annual NOx & SO 2 Concentration Conclusion
4
Outdoor Pollution Source Industrial Emission (NOx, SO 2 ) Transportation (NOx, SO 2 ) Incomplete Combustion
5
Common Pollutants in Urban Area A complex mixture including varying proportions of air, pollutants, humidity and allergens. Ozone, generated by reaction of NOx; NO 2 +O 2 NO +O 3 SO 2, Acid rain, Toxic (not focused) Heat Island Effect Occurs in the middle of Houston 2.1 million people exposed. Causes cancer and bronchial diseases
6
Population & NOx Distribution
7
NOx emission by year
8
SO 2 Emission by year
9
Annual NOx & SO 2 Concentration
10
Conclusion Overall NOx concentration is acceptable. Less considered for SO 2 concentration. Necessary to make air quality standards for consider building- concentrated area with large population/area ratio. Apply the heat island effect. Personal protection.
