Smog Study Using Twin Chambers Filled with Ambient Air
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seoul is one of the most severe smoggy cities in the world. During summer afternoons, the fine particles formed by photochemical reactions could contribute visibility reduction. The formation and growth of secondary ambient aerosols might be affected by primary air pollutants and by meteorological factors. In this work, the photochemical reaction of Seoul ambient air was investigated in indoor smog chambers. Since the quality of ambient air changed with time, the twin chambers were utilized to differentiate the effects of primary particle concentration and light intensity on the formation of ozone and aerosols during the photochemical reaction.

Long-term canine exposure studies with ambient air pollutants.
Dogs are often the species of choice as an experimental model for the study of pulmonary responses to long-term exposure to air pollutants in chambers simulating environmental or occupational exposure in man. Their lungs bear a reasonable resemblance to human lungs, they are large enough to allow serial measurements of pulmonary responses, and they live long enough to ensure that findings are n...
متن کاملMeasurement of NOy and Potential Artifacts
Oxidized nitrogenous species play a critical role in the formation of ozone in the atmosphere. For both smog chambers and ambient air, a knowledge of the mass balance of such species is useful for the development and validation of methods to model ozone formation. The term NOy has been developed to represent such species although the definition depends on whether it is used by a modeler or an a...
متن کاملOutdoor smog chamber experiments in Mexico
Towards the end of the 1940s the air’s contamination began in Mexico. It just happened when Mexico starts its industrial growing. During these years the population increased notably. Industrial growing in the 1950s was carried through an urbanization process (Restrepo, 1992). Mexico City was the first because it had industries, services, government offices, culture attractions and higher educat...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of long-term concentrations of ambient air pollutants and risk of incident lung cancer in nonsmoking California adults. A cohort study of 6,338 nonsmoking, non-Hispanic, white Californian adults, ages 27-95, was followed from 1977 to 1992 for newly diagnosed cancers. Monthly ambient air pollution data were interpolated to zip code centr...
متن کاملSmoggy with a Chance of Altruism: The Effects of Ozone Alerts on Outdoor Recreation and Driving in Atlanta
Metropolitan smog alerts are prominent public information campaigns designed to enhance public health and to curb driving and other emissions. Unlike many other voluntary information-based environmental policies, air quality alerts target household behavior via forecast information about ambient concentrations rather than firm or product characteristics. This paper explores behaviors with high ...
