1 Air Quality issues in Sri Lanka R.N.R.Jayaratne Assistant Director Air, Noise, Vibration Monitoring Unit CENTRAL ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY
2 Air pollution What is Air Pollution? - Presence of hazardous unwanted trace gases/substances in the atmosphere In general, sources of Air pollution can be categorized as natural or anthropogenic -human- related emissions that degrade the atmosphere.
3 Causes of Air Pollution in Sri Lanka Vehicular Emissions Open Burning of refuse/solid waste; Tires Fossil fuel powered power plants Resuspension of road side dust Industrial emissions Oil Refineries Agricultural activities Waste disposal and effluent treatment Biomass burning Pictures Dr.Ruwan Wijayamuni
4 Criterion Air Pollutants present in Sri Lankan Cities SO 2 Particulate matter (PM 10, PM 2.5) NOx CO VOC Ozone Etc.Pictures Dr/Ruwan Wijayamuni
5 Air Quality Status in Sri Lankan Cities Monitoring started in 1996 Following Parameters have being monitoring since 1996 Carbon monoxide Sulfur dioxide Nitrogen oxides Ozone Particulate Matter (PM 10 )
