Sources of air pollution. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

Source of air pollution can be any physical agent, chemical or species (generally micro-organisms) released into or produced in the environment in excess of natural amounts. Under atmospheric pollution understand the presence of gases, vapors, particles, solid and liquid substances, heat, vibrations, radiation that adversely affect humans, animals, plants, climate, materials, buildings and structures.

By origin, pollution is divided into natural, caused by natural, often abnormal, processes in nature, and anthropogenic, associated with human activities.

On the anthropogenic pollution accounts for a large share of air pollution. They are associated with the development of human production activities and are divided into local and global. Local pollution is associated with cities and industrial regions. Global pollution affects the biospheric processes on Earth and spread over great distances, as the air is in constant motion. Global atmospheric pollution is increasing due to the fact that harmful substances from it enter the soil, water bodies, and then re-enter the atmosphere.

Sources of air pollution divided into mechanical, physical and biological. Mechanical pollution - dust, phosphates, lead, mercury formed during the combustion of fossil fuels and in the process of production of building materials. physical pollution - thermal,

light, noise, electromagnetic, radioactive. Biological pollution are a consequence of the reproduction of microorganisms and anthropogenic activities.

Common toxic substances polluting the atmosphere:

1) carbon monoxide (formed during forest fires, oxidation of terpenes, etc.);

2) sulfur dioxide (formed during volcanic eruptions, oxidation of sulfur and sulfates dispersed in the sea, fuel combustion in industrial installations);

3) nitric oxide (its sources are forest fires; vehicles, thermal power plants);

4) hydrocarbons (its sources are forest fires, natural methane and natural terpenes; vehicles, waste incineration, refrigeration, chemical plants, oil refineries);

5) dust (results from volcanic eruptions, dust storms, forest fires, fuel combustion in industrial installations, etc.).

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>
