(Air Pollution Environment Report Outline)

I. METEOROLOGY AND AIR POLLUTION

A. Troposphere is where we have our weather and air pollution problems.

B. Air pollution problem involves three parts: the pollution source, the movement or
dispersion of the pollutant, and the recipient.

C. Basic Meteorology

. 1. Dynamic System

1.1 Low and high pressure system (cyclones) [discuss also about
anticyclones]

D. Horizontal Dispersion of Pollutants

1. Heat

1.1Radiation, Convection, Conduction

2. Haze hood

3. Wind rose (insert pollution rose)

3.1 Orientation, width, length

E. Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants

1. Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate

1.1 |dry-adiabatic = - 9.8 ºC/km, where T = temperature and z = altitude

2. Ambient or Prevailing Lapse Rate

3. Relationship of Dry and Ambient

3.1 Superadiabatic conditions

3.2 Subadiabatic conditions

3.2.1 Temperature Inversion

4. Subsidence inversion & Radiation inversion

5. Fumigation
F. Effect of Water in the Atmosphere

G. Atmospheric Dispersion

1. Dispersion

2. Gaussian model

2.1 Principles

2.2 Downwind Concentration (Formulas with problem solving)

H. Variation of Wind Speed With Elevation (discuss the formula)

I. Effective Stack Height (Formula with problem solving)

J. Cleansing the Atmosphere

1. Gravity

2. Contact with the earth’s surface (Surface Sink Absorption)

3. Precipitation

K. Conclusion
