LECTURE 2 - AIR

NATURAL SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

• Volcanoes

• Fires

• Plant/Animal off gassing

• Dust storms

HUMAN CREATED AIR POLLUTION

• Major sources: transportation, electric plants

(coal, oil) and industry (steel mills, metal smelters, oil refineries and pulp/paper mills)

• Minor sources: small engines, wood burners,

etc

POINT SOURCES vs NON-POINT

SOURCES

• Point source mean any disceminable, confined and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operation

or vessel

• Non-point source (NPS) generally results from land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition, etc

NON-POINT SOURCE

• NPS pollution can include…

• Sources for NPS:

- Urban

- Mining*

- Forestry

- Agriculture

NON-ATTAINMENT AREAS vs

ATTAINMENT AREAS

• In United States environmental law,

a nonattainment area is an area considered to

have air quality worse than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards as defined in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970 (P.L 91-604, Sec 109) Nonattainment areas must have and implement a plan to meet the standard, or risk losing some forms of federal financial assistance An area may be a nonattainment area for one pollutant and an attainment area for others

INDOOR AIR POLLUTION SOURCES

• Combustion sources

• Building materials & furnishing

• Products for household clearing & maintenance, personal care or hobbies

• Central heating & cooling systems & humidification devices

• Outdoor sources such as radons, pesticides, outdoor air pollution

HEALTH BASED CRITERIA

Health based criteria for (science based guidelines) primary standard = protects health secondary standard = prevents environmental and property damage

CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS

• PM 2.5

• SO2

• CO

• NOx

• O3

• Pb-Lead
