Air pollutants, effects

If the stock is to receive a second impregnation, it must be rebaked. In the past, stock containing raw impregnating pitch could be graphitized directly. However, the air polluting effect caused by this practice has made rebaking a necessary preliminary step to graphitization in order to achieve effective environmental control. 

The mechanisms by which a jurisdiction develops its air pollution control strategies and episode control tactics are outlined in Fig. 5-1. Most of the boxes in the figure have already been discussed—sources, pollutant emitted, transport and diffusion, atmospheric chemistry, pollutant half-life, air quality, and air pollution effects. To complete an analysis of the elements of the air pollution system, it is necessary to explain the several boxes not vet discussed. 

Just as it costs money to control pollution, it also costs the public money not to control pollution. All the adverse Air Pollution Effects represent economic burdens on the public for which an attempt can be made to assign dollar values, i.e., the cost to the public of damage to vegetation, materials. 

List examples of air pollution effects on plants that cannot be detected by visual symptoms. 

Re-opener a permit condition that requires the permitting authority, at a specified time after permit issuance, to review and revise, if necessary, the permit based on new information such as the findings from post-construction monitoring, updated emissions inventories, updated modeling, research, or information on air pollution effects to terrestrial, aquatic, and visibility resources.

Negative externalities arise when an action by an individual or a group implies harmful effects on others such as unintended dispersion of chemicals to land, air and water air pollution effects on health forest growth or fish reproduction. When negative externalities are generated they should be internalized into the market economy. By internalizing the externalities the economic value of environmental impacts are allocated to the pollution sources and included in the economics of the activities causing the problem. This would also allow for the market to function properly and thereby reach a socially optimal level of environmental impacts.

Rational air pollution control strategies require the establishment of reliable relationships between air quality and emission (Chapter 5). Diffusion models for inert (nonreacting) agents have long been used in air pollution control and in the study of air pollution effects. Major advances have been made in incorporating the complex chemical reaction schemes of photochemical smog in diffusion models for air basins. In addition to these deterministic models, statistical relationships that are based on aerometric data and that relate oxidant concentrations to emission measurements have been determined.

Three areas of methodolc stressed here are of special concern for the study of air pollution effects on v etation growth of the test organisms, exposure facilities, and instrumentation. First, to determine the effects of air pollutants on many plant species, one must have a good understanding of the best cultural conditions for a given test crop some results reflect the use of poor test specimens. Second, dynamic...

Interest in land use planning—with respect to areas to be set aside for agricultural use, as opposed to industrial use—needs to be considered as a potential ameliorating factor in the control of air pollution effects on vegetation. Land use might not be as effective for the oxidant pollutants, because of their ubiquitous nature. Heck and Brandt have developed a brief but acceptable point of view in terms of the need for land use planning and protection of agricultural commodities from air pollution. 

Treshow has developed the thesis that foliar injury is a useful criterion in the identification and analysis of air pollution effects on vegetation and presented some basic concepts for use in field evaluation. 

Most researchers have felt that biochemical changes in plant tissues are associated with so many normal growth and stress phenomena that they would have no relevance in field evaluations of air pollution effects. Keller has associated changes in peroxidase activity with different pollution stresses (fluoride and oxidants) in apricot and white ash growing in areas of high pollution, as opposed to those of low pollution. This study suffers from lack of pollution monitoring (although leaves were...
