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. 

Pollutant effects on the atmosphere include increased parhculate matter, which decreases visibility and inhibits incoming solar radiahon, and increased gaseous pollutant concentrations, which absorb longwave radiation and increase surface temperatures. For a detailed discussion of visibility effects, see Chapter 10. 

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.
