2 Air Pollution Science term used interchangeably with air quality research physics and chemistry of the atmosphere as they pertain to air pollution outdoor aka ambient air, not indoor (domestic) air occupational air other air pollution exposure environments meteorology relevant to air pollution Page 2 January-28-13
3 Overview Part I: Air Pollution from Emission to Exposure Part II: Pollutants in Ambient Air Part III: Creating Better Connections Page 3 January-28-13
4 Part I: Air Pollution From Emission to Exposure Page 4 January
5 The Earth s Atmosphere air mostly gas particles water/aqueous droplets weather radiation transmission and absorption Page 5 January from Lutgens and Tarbuck, 2001
6 Solar Radiation Science Learning Hub (NZ) Page 6 January-28-13
7 The Earth s Atmosphere ozone (O 3 ) layer Page 7 January from Lutgens and Tarbuck, 2001
8 Stratospheric Ozone Depletion ozone depletion allows more UV to reach surface adverse health effects international treaty (Montreal Protocol) public communication tool (UV Index) Page 8 January-28-13
9 The UV Index Page 9 January-28-13
10 Ozone One Compound, Two Problems Stratospheric ozone problem is depletion depletion of natural compound by human-made chemicals reacting in the stratosphere Tropospheric ozone (ground-level ozone) problem is excess excess caused by natural and human-made chemicals reacting in the troposphere ground-level ozone is a secondary pollutant Page 10 January-28-13
11 Primary and Secondary Pollutants primary pollutant emitted from source in same form as it appears in ambient air peaks near source secondary pollutant emitted from source and transformed by physical and/or chemical processes in ambient air peaks downwind of source Page 11 January-28-13
12 Air Pollution Processes From Emission to Ambient Air transformation POLLUTED AIR R x secondary pollutant emission primary pollutant SOURCES Page 12 January-28-13

26 PM Size Terminology TSP Total suspended particles PM 10 Particulate matter less than 10 mm in diameter PM 2.5 Particulate matter less than 2.5 mm in diameter Coarse particles Between 2.5 and 10 mm Fine particles Less than 2.5 mm Ultrafine particles (UFP) Less than 0.1 mm in diameter Page 26 January-28-13
27 Interface Between PH and AQ PH What is the target level of PM 2.5? Canada-Wide Standard = 30 mg/m3 98 th percentile of 24-hr average concentrations for each year averaged over 3 years AQ What is the actual level of PM 2.5? Measured concentration Page 27 January-28-13
28 Map of PM 2.5 Canada-Wide Standard Page 28 January-28-13
29 How Can PM Be Reduced? we can t control natural emissions transformation removal we can control anthropogenic emissions determine anthropogenic emission contribution to ambient concentration Page 29 January-28-13
30 Source Apportionment Receptor Modelling emission profiles relative abundance of chemical constituents by source COMPARE TO ambient concentration profile relative abundance of chemical constituents in ambient air BUT emission profiles must have unique characteristics for each source profiles must not be altered by transformations and losses between emission and ambient air Page 30 January-28-13
