Atmospheric Chemistry in Highly Polluted Environments
Atmospheric Chemistry in Highly Polluted Environments
Session ID#: 72534
Session Description:
In highly polluted environments, large amount of anthropogenic emissions from industrial and/or residential activities are mixed with biogenic emissions, wind-blown dust, and biomass burning, then undergo complex atmospheric chemistry processes and form secondary pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter. Many studies suggested that high pollution formation is much faster in these regions and cannot be completely explained by knowing atmospheric chemistry, indicating additional chemistry processes in highly polluted environments, which are likely associated with the complex emission sources, unique climate and topography. Advances in atmospheric chemistry studies in highly polluted environment have suggested that additional sources and formation pathways of atmospheric radicals, heterogeneous reactions on particle surface for sulfate and organic aerosol formation. This session will bring scientists conducting field measurements, lab experiments, and numeric modeling to discuss the formation processes and to develop air pollution control strategies for protecting public health and climate in these regions.
