Clean air legislation: Forces massing

Why Is Clean Air Clean?

Air exhibiting very low concentrations of light-scattering aerosol particles is occasionally observed even in industrialized regions. Evidence is presented that this very clean air results from highly efficient removal of aerosol particles coupled to the removal of water in precipitation.

Indonesia’s Clean Air Program

Unprecedented industrial development during the last two decades, accompanied by a growing population, has increased the amount of environmental damage in Indonesia. A critical environmental problem is the rising level of air pollution in several large cities. This has stimulated the government to develop a national program designed to control the quantity of pollutants in the air. However, the...

Drag and lift forces on clean spherical air bubbles in a rotating flow

We study here the motion of a spherical gas bubble in a solid body rotating flow of clean silicon oil, to avoid contamination of interface. From the measurement of its equilibrium position, lift and drag forces are determined. Five different silicon oils have been used, providing five different viscosities and Morton numbers. For spherical bubbles the drag coefficient is at first order the same...

Clean air in the Anthropocene.

In atmospheric chemistry, interactions between air pollution, the biosphere and human health, often through reaction mixtures from both natural and anthropogenic sources, are of growing interest. Massive pollution emissions in the Anthropocene have transformed atmospheric composition to the extent that biogeochemical cycles, air quality and climate have changed globally and partly profoundly. I...
