Air-quality regulations

The operating permit must outhne specifically how and when a source will be allowed to operate over the five-year term of the permit. The permit the state develops from an apphcation becomes the principal mechanism for enforcement of all air-quality regulations. As such, it is critically important to submit an apphcation that allows maximum operating nexibility.

There have also been revivals of the steam car. Robert McCulloch, the chain-saw millionaire, spent part of his fortune on a steam prototype, called the Paxton Phoenix, between 1951 and 1954. William Lear of Learjet fame, spent 15 million in 1969 on a turbine bus and a 250-horsepower turbine steam car. Both used quiet, efficient steam engines although the bus had reliability problems and poor gas mileage. Lear also tried to enter a steam car into the 1969 Indianapolis 500. The British firm of Austin-Healey was also working on a steam car in 1969. It had four-wheel drive. However, even prosperous entrepreneurs like McCulloch and Lear found that they lacked the means and support structure to successfully mass market a competitive car. Alternative power systems would have to wait until air-quality regulations resulted in some breakthroughs with hybrid and even fuel-cell cars.

There is currently no air quality regulation in Europe or any other part of the world to control the ambient concentrations of particles on a number basis. However, particle numbers are currently being regulated at vehicle tailpipe exhausts through Euro-5 and Euro-6 emission standards [103]. These are the first ever limits of this kind, though only applicable in Europe, to control the emissions of particle numbers at source. These standards include a lower size limit of 23 nm for minimising the...

A student breaks a thermometer and spills most of the mercury (Hg) onto the floor of a laboratory that measures 15.2 m long, 6.6 m wide, and 2.4 m high, (a) Calculate the mass of mercury vapor (in grams) in the room at 20°C. (b) Does the concentration of mercury vapor exceed the air quality regulation of 0.050 mg Hg/m of air (c) One way to treat small quantities of spilled mercury is to spray sulfur powder over the metal. Suggest a physical and a chemical reason for this action. The vapor pressure of mercury at 20°C is 1.7 X 10 atm.
