Stationary and Mobile Sources of Air Pollution
• Two Sources of Air Pollution1. Stationary Sources: have a relatively
fixed location• Point Sources: • Fugitive Sources: • Area Sources:
2. Mobile Sources: move from place to place while emitting pollutants• Ex) Airplanes

US Emissions of Six Major Air Pollutants
Note that there have been significant reductions.
![Page 18: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Urban Air Pollution• Potential for Air Pollution
Determined by:– Rate of emission– Downwind distance– Average wind speed– Elevation
An inversion over Salt

![Page 19: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Urban Air Pollution
• Atmospheric Inversion: – Occurs when warmer air is found
above cooler air and it poses a particular problem when there is a stagnant air mass
– Normally, air gets progressively colder as you go up through the atmosphere, but sometimes the temperature in a shallow layer actually increases with height (thus inverting the usual temperature-altitude relationship).
![Page 20: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Factors that influence Air Pollution formation and intensity
• Local climate (inversions, air pressure, temperature, humidity)
• Topography (hills and mountains)• Population density• Amount of industry• Fuels used by population and industry for heating,
manufacturing, transportation, power• Weather: rain, snow,wind• Buildings (slow wind speed)• Mass transit used• Economics

• Smog– A mixture between smoke and fog that
produces unhealthy urban air• Two Types
– Sulfurous Smog / Industrial Smog / Fossil Fuels– Photochemical Smog / Sunlight & Pollutants
![Page 23: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Formation of Industrial Smog
![Page 24: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Formation of Industrial Smog
Procedure Chemical Reaction
1. Carbon in coal or oil burned
C + O2 -> CO2
2C + O2 -> CO
2. Unburned carbon -> soot C
3. Sulfur in oil and coal reacts with O2
S + O2 -> SO2
![Page 25: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Formation of Industrial Smog
Procedure Chemical Reaction4. Sulfur dioxide reacts with O2 to form sulfur trioxide
2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3
5. Sulfur trioxide reacts with H2O
SO3 + H2O -> H2SO4
6. Sulfuric acid reacts with atmospheric ammonia to form brown, solid ammonium sulfate
H2SO4 + 2NH3 ->(NH4)2SO4

![Page 27: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Formation of Photochemical Smog
Time Description
6 - 9 A.M. Morning commute increases NOx and VOCsN2 + O2 -> 2 NO
NO + VOC -> NO2NO2 -UV-> + NO O
9 - 11 A.M
As traffic decreases NOx and VOCs react 2NO + O2 -> 2NO2
![Page 28: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Time Description
11 A.M. – 4 P.M.
As sunlight becomes intense, NO2 breaks down and Ozone increases
NO2 -UV-> + NO O O2 + -O> O3
Nitrogen dioxide also forms nitric acid3NO2 + H2 -> 2 O H2NO3 + NO
11 A.M. – 4 P.M.
Nitrogen dioxide also reacts with VOCs released by autos, industry, etc.
NO2 + VOCs -> 2 PANs Peroyacyl nitrates (toxic)
4 P.M. - sunset
As sun goes down the production of ozone haltsNet Result: NO + VOC + O2 + UV -> O3 + PAN

Air Pollution: Legislation and Standards
• Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990– Comprehensive regulations enacted
by U.S congress that address acid rain, toxic emissions, ozone depletion and automobile exhaust
• Air Quality Standards– Attempt to control air pollution
• Tougher Standards for PM 2.5 and Ozone• Air Quality Index

Specific Air Pollution Treatment Technology
• Old ways– Move factory to remote location– Build taller smokestack so wind blows pollution
elsewhere• New ways
– Biofiltration : vapors pumped through soil where microbes degrade
– High-energy destruction: high-voltage electricity – Membrane separation: diffusion of organic vapors
through membrane– Oxidation: High temperature combustor
![Page 32: 1. What are the two general major categories/sources of air pollution? 2. Give some examples.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/5516b78b550346f6208b54c0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• New continued…– Vapor phase carbon absorption: gases pumped through
series of carbon filled canisters which absorb contaminants
– Electrostatic precipitators: Electrostatically charged surfaces attracts particles (used at home or industry)
– Sulfur removal: mix crushed limestone with fuel (for coal power plants)
– Nitrogen oxide control: staged burners or catalytic converters (used in combustion – e.g., cars)
– Hydrocarbon control: closed system to prevent release before treatment with afterburners
– Hybrid, electric and hydrogen powered vehicles
