Air Pollution-Tropospheric Ozone

Good ozone and bad ozone Stratospheric ozone protect lives on Earth from harmful effects of uv radiation Tropospheric ozone Causing respiratory distress and eye irritation Destroying plants Producing cracks in rubber Ozone is a strong oxidant reacts with molecules containing C=C double bonds, forming epoxides

Good Ozone and Bad Ozone • Stratospheric ozone protect lives on Earth from harmful effects of UV radiation. • Tropospheric ozone: – Causing respiratory distress and eye irritation – Destroying plants – Producing cracks in rubber Ozone is a strong oxidant, reacts with molecules containing C=C double bonds, forming epoxides

Two types of air pollutants: primary vs secondary Primary pollutants: released directly from sources Examples: CO, So2, NOX Secondary pollutants: formed through chemical reactions of the primary pollutants and the constituents of the unpolluted atmosphere in the air. Example: 03

Two types of air pollutants: primary vs. secondary • Primary pollutants: released directly from sources – Examples: CO, SO2, NOx • Secondary pollutants: formed through chemical reactions of the primary pollutants and the constituents of the unpolluted atmosphere in the air. – Example: O3

Formation of ozone No2 is capable of absorbing visible light(NO2+OH RO2+NO→NO2+RO (5) Net of(1)+(2)+(4):RO2+02→03+RO

Formation of ozone NO2 + hv → NO + O (1) O + O2 + M → O3 + M (2) NO + O3 → NO2 + O2 (3) NO2 + hv → NO + O (1) O + O2 + M → O3 + M (2) HO2 . + NO→ NO2 + OH (4) RO2 . + NO → NO2 + RO. (5) No net O3 formation O3 is formed Net of (1)+(2)+(4): RO2. + O2 → O3 + RO. NO2 is capable of absorbing visible light (<400 nm) to produce O

Sources of RO2: Oxidation of hydrocarbons RH+OH→R·+H20 R·+02÷RO2 A single organic radical can produce many peroxy radicals by successive rounds of O2 combination and fragmentation

Sources of RO2. : Oxidation of hydrocarbons RH + OH → R . + H2O R . + O2 → RO2. A single organic radical can produce many peroxy radicals by successive rounds of O2 combination and fragmentation

Example: Oxidation of carbon monoxide CO oH +o> CO, +HO HO+NO→>NO2+OH no t hy>NO +o Q+Q2+M→Q3+M Net: co+20+hv>CO+o The net reaction can be viewed as a catalytic oxidation of Co to co. Net formation of o, occurs

Example: Oxidation of carbon monoxide CO + .OH + O2 → CO2 + HO2 . HO2 . + NO → NO2 + .OH NO2 + hv → NO + O O + O2 + M → O3 + M Net: CO + 2 O2 + hv → CO2 + O3 The net reaction can be viewed as a catalytic oxidation of CO to CO2 . Net formation of O3 occurs

Example: Oxidation of methane CH4 + .OH + O2 → CH3OO. + H2O CH3OO. + NO → CH3O. + NO2 CH3O. + O2 → HCHO + HO2. HO2. + NO → .OH + NO2 NO2 + hn → NO + O (2x) O + O2 + M → O3 + M (2x) Net: CH4 + 4 O2 → HCHO + H2O + 2 O3 The net reaction is that for each mole of methane oxidized, 2 moles of O3 is produced
