Atmosphere - pollution • Carbon dioxide is the gas that has shown the largest increase in the atmosphere. • Emission is increasing at the rate of 5% every 10 years. • In the last 200 years it has increased by around 25% © IAH 2007 18 Carbon dioxide is an end product in organisms that obtain energy from breaking down sugars or fats with oxygen as part of their metabolism, in a process known as cellular respiration. This includes all plants, animals, many fungi and some bacteria. In higher animals, the carbon dioxide travels in the blood from the body's tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled. In plants using photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide content in fresh air varies and is between 0.03% (300 ppm) to 0.06% (600 ppm), depending on location and in exhaled air approximately 4.5%. When inhaled in high concentrations (greater than 5% by volume), it is immediately dangerous to the life and health of plants, humans and other animals. The current threshold limit value (TLV) or maximum level that is considered safe for healthy adults for an 8-hour work day is 0.5% (5000 ppm). The maximum safe level for infants, children, the elderly and individuals with cardio-pulmonary health issues would be significantly less. As in modern times forests have to move for industrialization the reverse of CO 2 to oxygen is decreased with higher peak concentrations in industrial areas as consequence. 18
Atmosphere - pollution • Pollutants are carried from one place to another over great distances by the winds. • The processes of heavy pollution are strongly influenced by the circulation of air masses. • A given place will be polluted to a greater or lesser extent depending on how good is the circulation of air in the geographical region in which it lies. © IAH 2007 19 As mentioned before atmospheric conditions might increase concentrations of certain pollutants. Not living in an industrial area is no guarantee for being free of pollutants. High winds can transport pollutants within hours from one place to another. The fallout of radioactive material after the Chernobyl accident was within days spread over western Europe, thousands of kilometres away of the source. Acid rain is not a local phenomenon but is the synthesis of different parameters in different places. Acid rain is destroying forests in places where no industry is present hundreds of kilometres from the region. Pollution is not a local phenomenon but due to atmospheric characteristics a worldwide problem. 19
