OSTI ID:6554704
This paper provides an analysis of the global air pollution from the basis of total global emissions and atmospheric scavenging processes. It examines the trends that could affect air pollution in industrial activities in both the industrial and yet-to-be industrialized countries. Several classes of pollutants are dealt with; sulfur pollutants (SO/sub 2/), nitrogen oxide pollutants (NO and NO/sub 2/), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbon pollutants. The geographic concentration, societal sources, accumulation potential and removal mechanisms for each are discussed in a general manner. The author's basic conclusion is that atmospheric scavenging mechanisms are adequate to prevent global buildup at present emission rates, and that control efforts at concentrated sources is an effective long-range strategy.
