Ground-level effects of supersonic transports in the stratosphere. [uV radiation]
Journal Article
·
· Acc. Chem. Res.; (United States)
The reduction of stratospheric ozone by nitrogen oxides from supersonic transports is discussed. Methods of measuring the emission index of nitrogen oxides in SST exhaust and ambient stratospheric nitrogen oxides are described. Predictions of the increase in stratospheric nitrogen oxides from SST operations to the year 2025 are discussed. Biological effects of supersonic transport result from the increase in band b UV radiation reaching the earth following reduction of ozone. Effects on human skin and eyes, insects, plants, plankton, and absorption spectra of DNA and erythema are discussed. (HLW)
