1 The Mobilization of Materials by Human and Natural Activities 2.83/2.813 T. G. Gutowski

2 Outline 1. Wackernagel s results: carbon cycle 2. Other cycles: rock, water, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus 3. Klee and Graedel 4. Some specific elements 5. New chemicals (TRI, REACH )

3 The Carbon Cycle

4 6CO + H O CH O + O

5 Other Cycles Hutton s Rock Cycle Hydrological Cycle Nitrogen Sulfur Phosphorous

6 Hutton s Rock Cycle Ref. Press and Siever

7 hydrological cycle

8 Nitrogen Cycle large reservoir of N 2 chlorophyll, DNA, RNA fixation by bacteria soy and alfalfa bird guano Haber-Bosch

9 terminology Flows or Fluxes Reservoir (Stocks) Reservoir (Stocks) Residence Time= Amount in Reservoir Rate Out

10 Residence Times Sodium (ocean) 48 million years Iron (ocean) 100 years CO 2 (atmosphere) 10 years Nitrogen (atmosphere) 400 million years Sulfur dioxide (atm) hours to weeks Press and Siever

11 Klee & Graedel look at the mobilization (fluxes) of the elements Natural flows weathering and erosion sea spray primary plant productivity Anthropogenic flow mining fossil fuels biomass burning

12 Flux Categories 1. NPP plant uptake 2. Sea Spray aerosols 3. Erosion crustal weathering 4. Fossil Fuel Burning to air 5. Biomass Burning to air 6. Mining from reservoir

13 Study of 77 of the 92 naturally occurring elements Results for Magnesium Klee & Graedel 2004

15 This is a first estimate eat my dust preliminary study ignores pathways, exposure, sensitivity doesn t differentiate between the elements more study needed but this doesn t look good (potential disruptions)

16 Methodology Estimated mobilization of total mass of major categories Estimated elemental composition for each category Example: Mt Krakatoa ejected nearly 20km 3 into the air in 1883

17 Quantities Mobilized from Klee and Graedel Category Mass/yr Mass/yr Coal Oil Biomass burning Erosion to rivers Sea spray NPP 4,741 Tg/yr 3,268 Tg/yr 8,600 Tg/yr 1,500 Tg/yr 3,800 Tg/yr 224,500 Tg/yr = 4.7 Gt/yr = 3.3 Gt/yr = 8.6 Gt/yr = 1.5 Gt/yr = 3.8 Gt/yr = Gt/yr
