Air Pollutant Contaminant that affects human life, plant life, animal life and property could be termed as an air pollutant. Introduction of a non-physical chemical Change of the composition of the natural atmosphere (e.g.co 2 increase) Air pollutants are classified into two categories: Primary pollutants: These pollutants are emitted from a source directly into the atmosphere. e.g. Sulfur dioxide and Hydrocarbons Secondary pollutants: These are formed due to the chemical reaction among two or more pollutants. e.g. Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN ) 6.

The problem of air pollution Τί είναι ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση? Ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση ορίζεται η μεταβολή της σύστασης ατμόσφαιρας, είτε από την είσοδο ενώσεων που δεν υπάρχουν στη φυσική της σύσταση, είτε από μεταβολή της συγκέντρωσης υπαρχόντων ενώσεων Κλίμακες του προβλήματος Παγκόσμια (παγκόσμια θέρμανση, μείωση στρατοσφαιρικού όζοντος) Περιφερειακή (όξινη βροχή) Τοπική Αστική Κλίμακα δρόμου Ρύπανση εσωτερικών χώρων Οι κυριότεροι ατμοσφαιρικοί ρύποι είναι: Το Διοξείδιο του Θείου (SO 2 ) Το Μονοξείδιο του Άνθρακα (CO) Τo Διοξείδιo του Αζώτου (NO 2 ) Το Όζον (O 3 ) Τα Αιωρούμενα Σωματίδια (κυρίως PM 2.5, PM 1 ) Το Βενζόλιο (C 6 H 6 ) Ο Μόλυβδος (Pb) Το διοξείδιο του Άνθρακα (CO 2 ) σε συγκέντρωση ανώτερη της φυσιολογικής Πηγές ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων: Ανθρωπογενείς πηγές Βιομηχανική δραστηριότητα Παραγωγή ενέργειας Μεταφορές Οικιακή θέρμανση Χρήση καταναλωτικών προίόντων Φυσικές πηγές Βιογενείς εκπομπές Ηφαίστεια Επιπτώσεις ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης Ανθρώπινη υγεία Οικοσύστημα - Βιόσφαιρα Τεχνητό περιβάλλον 6.

Source Classification Transportation sources: Includes emissions from transportation sources during the combustion process Stationary combustion sources: These sources produce only energy and the emission is a result of fuel combustion Industrial sources: These sources emit pollutants during the manufacturing of products Solid waste Disposal: Includes facilities that dispose off unwanted trash Miscellaneous: sources that do no fit in any of the above categories like, coal mining etc. Natural sources: Volcanos 6.

Units for measurement of Air Pollution There are two units of measurement. They are as follows: µg/m 3 and ppm (parts per million) At 25 C and 1 atm At C and at a pressure of 76 cm of Hg, volume of the air is 22.41 l/mol. To obtain volume at any temperature, use gas law P 1 V 1 /T 1 = P 2 V 2 /T 2 6. Μηχανική ποιότητας αέρα Enve-Lab Enve-Lab, 215 1
