چکیده

In the atmosphere polluting agents are involved in different reactions which lead to secondary pollutants. Secondary pollutants are mainly generated by photochemical and thermal reactions. These reactions occur in the atmosphere and they generate photochemical smog. We studied the variations of primary and secondary pollutants concentrations by photochemical modeling systems. All the test problems (denoted models A-F) were coded in Fortran and are based on the Carbon Bond Mechanism IV consisting of 32 chemical species involved in 70 thermal and 11 photolytic reactions. The numerical integration of the stiff systems was carried out using a Rosenbrock solver.

Atmospheric Composition, Global Cycles and Lifetimes

Photochemical smog is the result of complex chemistry taking place when sunlight irradiates the atmosphere laden with organic gases and nitrous oxides. High temperatures and bright sun light favour photochemical smog. The secondary pollutants, formed from the organic gases and nitrous oxides, are more aggressive and dangerous as the first pollutants. Secondary pollutants are O3, organic nitrate...

The determination and role of peroxyacetil nitrate in photochemical processes in atmosphere

Peroxyacetilnitrates (PAN) is the most characteristic photoxidant of a range of secondary pollutants formed by the photochemical reaction of hydrocarbons with nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere: it is phytotoxic and shows an increasing role in human health effects due to ambient air exposure, especially in presence of high ozone concentrations. Because of the similarity of the conditions require...
