Introduction: Air Pollution is all around us
• Indoor Air Pollution (home and work environment)• Local (near emission source)• Regional
– “Smog” and “Photochemical Smog”• Global
– Stratospheric Ozone Depletion– Global warming /climate change

Air Pollution Culprits
• Those that hurt you immediately– Smog (VOCs, O3, NOx, SOx)– Particulate Matter
• Those that hurt you long term– Ozone Depletion (The story of CFCs)– Green House Gasses

An orbit of retrieved GOME ozone profiles on October 22, 1997 overpass Indonesia in the tropics. The red line shows the NCEP tropopause.
O2+UV photon O + OO + O2 + M O3 + M
Both reactions are fast
Formation:
Destruction:O3+UV photon O2 +OO+O3 2O2
Second reaction is slow.O3 life time ~ 1-10 years.

APC: Ozone Depletion Mechanism…a bad thing
• CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbon) have shown to be the major cause of ozone depletion. – They are non-reactive in the troposphere due to lack of UV– They gradually fill the troposphere and diffuse into the
stratosphere

Net:
Step1: Photolysis (splitting by sunlight) of CFC’s in the stratosphere
Step2: Catalytic destruction of ozone

APC: Largest ozone hole – September 2006
• From September 21-30, 2006 the average area of the ozone hold was the largest ever observed. 11.4 million square miles
• (Area of USA: 3.5 million square miles)

APC: Green House gasses and recent surface temperature
variations
• Surface temperatures have shown significant fluctuation over the last 1000 years.
• Temperatures rose abruptly over the last century
• The cause of these changes is still debated although it can be captured reproducibly in the most sophisticated models.

APC: The Kyoto Protocol
• UN treaty entered into enforce February 2005– Developed countries to reduce their green house emission
by an average of 5% below their 1990 level. • EU: 8%• US: 7%• Japan: 6%
– United States signed the protocol but did not ratify the treaty
