Global Warming
UV, Visible & IR
Dry deposition
- particles such as fly ash, sulphates, nitrates, and gases (such
as SO2 and NOx)
- Weather is dry, the acid chemicals may become
incorporated into dust or smoke and fall to the ground
through dry deposition
- Dry deposited gases and particles can be washed by
rainstorms, leading to increased runoff water~ acidic
Air Pollutants : Source And Effects
May be natural or man-made
Pollutants can be classified as either primary or
secondary
primary pollutants are substances directly emitted
from a process, such as ash from a volcanic eruption, the
carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or
sulfur dioxide released from factories.
secondary pollutants are not emitted directly
rather, they form in the air when primary pollutants react or
interact
Sources Of Primary Air Contaminants
(Natural Sources)
Natural sources
Dust from natural sources, usually large areas of land
with little or no vegetation.
Methane, emitted by the digestion of food by animals,
for example cattle.
Radon gas from radioactive decay within the Earth's
crust.
Smoke and carbon monoxide from wildfires.
Volcanic activity, which produce sulfur, chlorine, and
ash particulates.
Sources Of Primary Air Contaminants
(Human Activity)
Anthropogenic sources (human activity) mostly related to
burning different kinds of fuel
"Stationary Sources" include smoke stacks of power plants,
manufacturing facilities (factories) and waste incinerators, as well
as furnaces and other types of fuel-burning heating devices
"Mobile Sources" include motor vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft
and the effect of sound etc.
Chemicals, dust and controlled burn practices in agriculture and
forestry management.
Waste deposition in landfills, which generate methane.
Military, such as nuclear weapons, toxic gases, germ warfare and
rocketry
Major Primary Pollutants
Produced By Human Activity
Carbon dioxide • a greenhouse gas emitted from combustion but is
also a gas vital to living organisms.
(CO2) • It is a natural gas in the atmosphere.
