1. Effects and sources of air pollutants

1.1 Definition of air pollution오염물질이 인간 , 동 · 식물 및 재산에 유해하거나 인간의 쾌적한 생활을 방해할 정도의 양으로 대기 중에 존재하는 상태

1.2 Air pollution Episodes

• Meuse valley :Belgium December 1930 Severe three-day fog 60 people died• Dorora: United States October 1948 Four-day fog 20 persons died• London smog: 1952 December 5-8, Four-day fog 4000 persons died 1956: clean air actSmog=Smoke+fog

• LA smog: photochemical smog Hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxides, sunlight LA is located in low basins surrounded by moun-tains

1.3 General listing of air pollutants

1) Concentration Units

1ppm: 1 volume of gaseous pollutant/106 volume (pollutant+air)g m-3

2) Classification of air pollutant

• General classificationParticulate mattersSulfur containing compoundOrganic compoundNitrogen-containing compoundCarbon monoxideHalogen compoundsRadioactive compoundsPhotochemical oxidantsOther inorganic compounds

• Classification based on originPrimary pollutant: those emitted directly from sources ex) SO2, CO

Secondary pollutant: those formed in the atmosphere by chemical reactions ex) NO2, O3

1.4 Particulate matters (Aerosol)

• Definition: 대기 중에 부유하고 있는 액상과 고체상의 입자들 • Size: 0.0002m-500m• Particles less than 0.1 m : Brownian motions• Particles between 0.1 and 2m: removed by rainout and

washout• Particles larger than 20m: large settling velocity removed from the air by gravity and inertial processes

Measurement: high volume sampler, PM10 sampler

TSP: total suspended particulate matter PM10: the particulate matter which diameter is less than 10 m. Damage to respiratory organ : fine particle (d<2.5m) Visibility reduction : principally affected by fine particles

Aerodynamic diameter: the diameter of a sphere of unit den-sity (1g cm-3) that has the same terminal gravitational settling velocity in still air as the actual particle in question

1-5 Carbon monoxide

• Colorless, odorless gas• A lifetime of 2 to 4 months in the atmosphere• Natural source: oxidation of methane, biomass burning• Anthropogenic source: vehicle• minor role in photochemical reaction leading to ozone

formation• Effect on health: reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity

of the blood

1-6 Sulfur oxides

• SO2 (sulfur dioxide), SO3 (sulfur trioxide)

• SO2: nonflammable, nonexplosive, colorless gas

• SO2 -> Sulfuric acid

• Acid rain ( 한반도 pH ~5, Cl-> SO42-> NO3

- : 2012 대기환경연보 )

• : Acid rain pH<5.6• Long range transport• Sulfate: pronounced reduction in visibility

1.7 Effects of hydrocarbons, Oxides of nitrogen, photochemical oxidants 

1-7-A Hydrocarbon ( 탄화수소 )• Organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon• Alkanes (CnH2n+2): RH ex) Methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6)

• R alkyl radical (CnH2n+1)

• Alkenes (CnH2n) :double bond

• Alkyne (CnH 2n-2): triple bond

• Aromatics : Benzene (C6H6), Toluene, Xylene

• Hydrocarbons, in combination with the oxides of nitrogen in the presence of sunlight, form photochemical oxidants

• No direct adverse effects upon human health• Radical: 적어도 한 개 이상의 쌍을 이루지 못한 전자를 갖고 있는

원자나 분자• Ex) Alkyl radical CnH2n+1

• VOCs: volatile organic compounds• The entire set of vapor phase atmospheric organics

excluding CO and CO2

1-7-B Oxides of nitrogen

• Nitric oxide (NO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), NO3, N2O3, N2O4, N2O5

 • NOx: NO+NO2

• NOy: the sum of the reactive oxides of nitrogen and all other compounds that are atmospheric products of NOx.

• NOx, HNO3, HNO2, nitrate radical (NO3), N2O5, PAN (N2O, NH3

는 아님 )• NO2: the highest concentration in ambient air

Absorbs visible light Photochemical smog Nitric acid (HNO3) -> acid rain

1-7-C Photochemical oxidants

• Ozone(O3), Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), formic acid (HCOOH) etc

• The products of atmospheric reactions involving VOCs, NOx and radical and sunlight

• VOCs: volatile organic compounds

• Secondary pollutant• Photochemical smog: high concentration of photochemical

oxidants Marked reduction in visibility Brownish sky

1-8 Sources of air pollutants

• Emission inventory : the study conducted to determine the emission of particular pollutant done through the use of emission factor

• emission factor: typical emissions that are emitted by a particular source type based on the specific pollutant, type of process, age, size, type of control technology.

• Major anthropogenic sources: transportation, fuel combustion (stationary source), industrial process.

1-9 Global issues related to air pollution

• Acid rain, global warming, stratospheric ozone hole

1) Global warming• Greenhouse effect: 대기가 태양의 단파복사를 거의 투과시키고

지구의 장파복사는 흡수 재 방출시킴으로써 지표면의 온도를 지구 복사평형온도보다 높게 만드는 효과

• Greenhouse gas : water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), CFCL3 CF2Cl2

• Kyoto protocol: International framework convention on climate change with the objective of reducing greenhouse gases in an effort to prevent anthropogenic climate change

• Signed in 1997• Entered into force in 2005• Industrialized countries (37) reduce collective emissions of

greenhouse gases by 5 % against 1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012.

• CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC, SF6

2) Stratospheric ozone hole

The presence of ozone in the lower stratosphere produces a very beneficial effect by absorbing a significant amount of the short wavelength ultraviolet radiation. Ozone hole in the stratosphere over Antarctica in spring (October)  Montreal protocol (1987) : International agreement among nations designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of a number of substances (CFCs) believed to be responsible for ozone depletion.
