Metals and organic pollutants in snow surrounding an iron factory
Abstract To estimate air pollution snow samples were collected in March 2001 at six sites in the vicinity of the Kostomuksha factory in Karelia. Seventy-two chemical elements and more than 200 individual organic compounds were identified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It was found that the levels of Li, B, Al, Fe, Ni, Cu, ...

If air pollution was a physics problem
According to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the biggest environmental cause of death [1]. Solving environmental problems is always complex including political and socioeconomic factors, but let’s approach this problem like we learned to tackle physics problems in school: Read the problem carefully through. Draw a picture of the situation. ...

Composition and textural properties of soot and study of their oxidative elimination by catalytic process
Diesel soot and reference carbon black samples have been characterised by analysis of the organic compounds fraction and determination of textural characteristics (specific area). The potential to eliminate such carbonaceous particles has been investigated using a Cu/ZrO2 solid catalyst promoted by potassium additives. The reactivity of soot samples depends on the organic compounds content. In ...

CH4 Monitoring
Methane has a direct influence on climate change as well as an indirect effect on human health, plant yield, and productivity due to its role as an important precursor to ground-level ozone formation. Therefore, CH4 monitoring is an efficient way to detect the buildup of CH4 levels and take necessary actions. This article covers information on methane gas, its sources in the ambient air, ...
