| Abstract |
Several significant new observations have been made relative to chemical reactions that occur in sunlight-irradiated NOx/hydrocarbon/aldehyde/CO/SO2 polluted atmospheres. Many of the primary reactions that are needed to quantitatively evaluate the photo-oxidation mechanisms of SO2 in the atmosphere were measured. Rate constants for the reactions of the excited SO2(triplet B1) state of SO2 with various atmospheric gases, alkanes, alkenes, NO, CO, etc., were determined. In view of these results, the rate of SO2 photooxidation in the atmosphere is estimated, and the possible role of excited- SO2/alkene interactions that generate aerosols is evaluated. Rate constants for the homogeneous reaction of SO2 with O3, NO3, and N2O5 were also estimated. All of these reactions are relatively slow for conditions that usually exist in polluted atmospheres. The unusual reaction of SO3 with NO2 was observed, although its importance in the atmosphere cannot be evaluated accurately from the existing data. An evaluation was made of the photochemical smog mechanisms using a computer to simulate the rates of change in various polluted atmospheres. Several important features of special interest in developing control strategies were observed. |
