Forest systems also act as sources of CO2 when controlled or uncontrolled burning and decay of litter occur. In addition, release of ethylene occurs during the flowering of various species. One additional form of emission to the atmosphere is the release of pollen grains. Pollen is essential to the reproductive cycle of most forest systems but becomes a human health hazard for individuals susceptible to hay fever. The contribution of sulfur from forests in the form of dimethyl sulfide is considered to be about 10-25% of the total amount released by soils and vegetation (12). [Pg.117]

Figure 4-13 shows an example from a three-dimensional model simulation of the global atmospheric sulfur balance (Feichter et al, 1996). The model had a grid resolution of about 500 km in the horizontal and on average 1 km in the vertical. The chemical scheme of the model included emissions of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) from the oceans and SO2 from industrial processes and volcanoes. Atmospheric DMS is oxidized by the hydroxyl radical to form SO2, which, in turn, is further oxidized to sulfuric acid and sulfates by reaction with either hydroxyl radical in the gas phase or with hydrogen peroxide or ozone in cloud droplets. Both SO2 and aerosol sulfate are removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition processes. The reasonable agreement between the simulated and observed wet deposition of sulfate indicates that the most important processes affecting the atmospheric sulfur balance have been adequately treated in the model. [Pg.75]

A high-speed sensor for the assay of dimethyl sulfide in the marine troposphere based on its CL reaction with F2 was recently reported [18]. Sample air and F2 in He were introduced at opposite ends of a reaction cell with a window at one end. The production of vibrationally excited HF and electronically excited fluorohydrocarbon (FHC) produced CL emission in the wavelength range 450-650 nm, which was monitored via photon counting. Dimethyl sulfide could be determined in the 0-1200 pptv (parts per trillion by volume) concentration range, with a 4-pptv detection limit. [Pg.573]

Natural emissions of sulfur compounds to the atmosphere occur from a variety of sources, including volcanic eruptions, sea spray, and a host of biogenic processes (e.g., Aneja, 1990). Most of the volcanic sulfur is emitted as S02, with smaller and highly variable amounts of hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3). Sea spray contains sulfate, some of which is carried over land masses. [Pg.20]

Gas-phase chemistry in remote areas is, in most cases, analogous to that in more polluted regions. The major difference is in lower NOx emissions and hence concentrations. In addition, in continental regions, there are substantial emissions of biogenic organics, many of which are highly reactive toward OH, 03, N03, and Cl atoms and in oceanic regions, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), which reacts with OH, N03, and Cl atoms. [Pg.225]

A U. S. national biogenic sulfur emissions inventory with county spatial and monthly temporal scales has been developed using temperature dependent emission algorithms and available biomass, land use and climatic data. Emissions of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), carbonyl sulfide (COS), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon disulfide (CS2), and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) were estimated for natural sources which include water and soil surfaces, deciduous and coniferous leaf biomass, and agricultural crops. The best estimate of 16100 MT of sulfur per year was predicted with emission algorithms developed from emission rate data reported by Lamb et al. (1) and is a factor of 22 lower than an upper bound estimate based on data reported by Adams et al. [Pg.14]

Methanesulfonic acid, although it comprises a relatively small fraction of total non sea-salt aerosol sulfur, has been shown (2) to be a ubiquitous component of marine aerosols. Its occurrence and distribution have been suggested as of use as an in situ tracer (3.4) for oceanic emissions and subsequent reaction and deposition pathways of organosulfur compounds and dimethyl sulfide in particular. [Pg.518]

In the last 150 years the anthropogenic emission of sulfur has increased dramatically, primarily due to combustion processes [1]. In the 1950s anthropogenic emission surpassed natural emission and the atmospheric sulfur cycle is one of the most perturbed biogeochemical cycles [1,2]. The oceans are the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur emissions, where sulfur is emitted in a reduced form, predominantly as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and to a much lesser extent carbonyl sulfide (OCS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) [3]. Ocean emitted DMS and CS2 are initially oxidised to OCS, which diffuses through the troposphere into the stratosphere where further oxidation to sulfur dioxide (SO2), sulfur trioxide (SO3) and finally sulfuric acid (H2SO4) occurs [1-4]. [Pg.138]

The biologically mediated emission of Po from a culture solution insulated with a sea sediment extract was observed. The emitted Po compound was considered to be lipophilic because it collected in organic solvents. Microorganisms are responsible for the emission of volatile Po compounds because no volatile compounds of Po were formed in a sterile medium. There exists an argument for the existence of a biotic source for atmospheric Po in the environment, which possibly originates from abiotic sources. The emission behavior of both Po and S in the culture experiments was compared. The chemical form of the emitted Po is not known, but it was emitted with dimethyl sulfide. A volatile Po compound was formed when methylcobalamin was used in the experiments. [Pg.3938]
