Home Help Model I Model II Model III Contact Aerosol Inorganics Model Tutorial Introduction Atmospheric particles contain a wide range of compounds of which inorganic electrolytes, such as ammonium sulphate and sodium chloride, are the most soluble. In a humid atmosphere the particulate salts may exist either as solid crystals or as aqueous droplets. Volatile acids and alkalis such as nitric acid and ammonia are also present as gases. The partitioning of these compounds bet ...

Atmospheric chemistry Future climate change will be influenced by chemical processes in the atmosphere which change concentrations of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and aerosols. For example, chemistry controls the rate of formation and destruction of ozone (a greenhouse gas in the troposphere), determines the rate of destruction of emitted greenhouse gases such as methane and CFC replacements, and controls the rate of formation of certain types of aerosol such as sulphates. The important ...

Atmospheric Chemistry Glossary 2006 Version The definitions in this glossary were initially generated by the students in a senior level class studying air quality and atmospheric chemistry at Sam Houston State University during the spring of 1995 in a course entitled Environmental Science 440/Chemistry 442, AIR QUALITY. In the main, they wrote these definitions as part of a class requirement. The references found at the end of most entries are an effort to supply additional resources for each ...

Atmospheric Chemistry Technical Area Motivation Atmospheric chemistry influences human health, climate, food production and, through its impact on visibility, our view of the world. Chemicals in the air affect us with each breath we take. Suspended particulates that form from gas-phase reactions affect the amount of solar energy reaching the earth's surface. Not only government, but private industry, has a vested interest in improving our knowledge of these processes. Much of the work in at ...

The transition from CFCs to alternatives, including HCFCs, reduces atmospheric chlorine loading. Thus, the use of alternatives can reduce the risk of stratospheric ozone depletion. Significant progress has been made to phase out CFCs and reverse the trend of increasing chlorine in the atmosphere. HCFCs and HFCs are necessary to allow the rapid elimination of CFCs. A rapid phase out of production - and hence of consumption and release - ...

Greenhouse Effect Shown above is an Infrared Map of the Earth. Red areas represent regions of high heat retention in the atmosphere. This is an equatorial band because that is where the atmosphere has the most water vapor. The earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of H20 and CO2 that naturally occur. The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the augmentation of these natural gases by human activities. What's the evidence? World wide Coral Bleaching Warming of th ...

Talking Points on the Environment #12 The Holes in Ozone Alarmists' Dire Predictions Chlorofluorocarbons (or CFCs), manufactured chemicals commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners, will be banned by 1996. The reason? They are believed to be responsible for destroying ozone in our upper atmosphere, a substance that shields us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. But it now appears that the rush to ban CFCs was premature, based on faulty assumptions: Assumption: Destruction of ozone in ...

Liftoff Home Earth's Atmosphere The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air, which we call the atmosphere. It reaches over 560 kilometers (348 miles) from the surface of the Earth, so we are only able to see what occurs fairly close to the ground. Early attempts at studying the nature of the atmosphere used clues from the weather, the beautiful multi-colored sunsets and sunrises, and the twinkling of stars. With the use of sensitive instruments from space, we are able to get a better view ...
