      Lecture 06: Urban air pollution and photochemical smog pollution control Lesson

      Key issues:

      • Urban air pollution: civilization and anthropogenic emission
      • Common problems: burning of fuels & raw materials
      • Results: uncontrolled, smoky cities, health problems, fatal episodes
      • London-type smog: emission & fog or temperature inversion
      • Automobile and photochemical smog: and NOX, ROGs with sunlight
          • ROGs: alkenes, aromatics, aldehydes, not many alkanes
          • Oxidizing agents: OH(g), HO2(g), NO3(g), O3(g), O(g)
          • Photostationary-state relationship: NO:NO ratio and O3 level
