The Five Basic Physical ElementsThe Five Basic Physical Elements

From the Vedic times, around 3000 B.C. to 1000 B.C., Indians (Indo-Aryans) had classified the material world into four elements viz. Earth (Prithvi), fire (Agni), air (Maya) and water (Apa). To these four elements was added a fifth one viz. ether or Akasha. According to some scholars these five elements or Pancha Mahabhootas were identified with the various human senses of perception; earth with smell, air with feeling, fire with vision, water with taste and ether with sound. Whatever the validity behind this interpretation, it is true that since very ancient times Indians had perceived the material world as comprising these 5 elements. The Buddhist philosophers who came later, rejected ether as an element and replaced it with life, joy and sorrow.

Fast growing unplanned and indiscriminate urbanization: Cause of recent ecological imbalances

MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS WHICH MANKIND IS FACING DUE TO URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ARE:

Large scale contamination of water and air. Deforestation Increase in urban slums Generation of huge solid waste consisting of hazardous material. Water scarcity and ground water depletion. Global warming Greenhouse effect Ozone layer depletion

Page 6: Air environemnt i d mall

AIR POLLUTION Atmosphere has gone significant changes in the last Two billion years

From the fourteenth century until recently the primary air pollutants have been coal smoke and gases released in industrialised areas.

Air pollution control actions thirteenth century

Most of the major effort in the world has taken place since 1945, before that other matters were in the priority list

1930s and 1940s: Factory issuing a thick plume of smoke was considered a sign of prosperity

1945-1969 awareness of air pollution problems gradually increased

Passage of National environmental policy Act and the clean air act of 1970

In the late 1980s: New theme entered the air pollution area- a GLOBAL AIR POLLUTION

Environmental concern earlier considered a luxury which only a developed country US can afford

For people who are worried for their meal, home medial bill air pollution may not be very important

For a person whose basic needs has been satisfied air pollution control can be of much greater cause of concern

Poor people are more exposed to more severe pollution

Monitoring SystemsMonitoring Systems

Ambient air quality data may be obtained through the use of mobile or fixed sampling networks and the use of integrated samplers or continuous monitors.

Decisions regarding monitoring techniques constitute the first important steps in design of monitoring network.

Page 57: Air environemnt i d mall

5757

Fixed vs. Mobile SamplingFixed vs. Mobile Sampling

Fixed-point sampling - A network of monitoring stations at selected sites, operated simultaneously throughout the study. Stations are permanent or, at least, long term installations.

Mobile sampling network – the monitoring/sampling instruments are rotated on schedule among selected locations. Equipment is generally housed in trailers, automobiles, or other mobile units.

Page 58: Air environemnt i d mall

5858

Continuous vs. Integrated SamplingContinuous vs. Integrated Sampling

Continuous monitoring – Conducted with devices that operate as both sampler and analyzer. Pollutant concentrations are instantaneously displayed on a meter, continuously recorded on a chart, magnetic tape, or disk.

Integrated sampling – Done with devices that collect a sample over some specified time interval after which the sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.

AMBIENT AIR SAMPLINGAMBIENT AIR SAMPLING

The typical air sampling system contains a sample collector, a flow meter and a pump to draw air sample through the system

Ambient air is sampled for the collection of

gaseous pollutantsparticulate matter

Page 63: Air environemnt i d mall

6363

COLLECTION OF GASEOUS AIR COLLECTION OF GASEOUS AIR POLUTANTSPOLUTANTS

The common methods used for the collection of gaseous pollutants are

1. Grab sampling

2. Absorption in liquids

3. Adsorption on solid materials

4. Freeze out sampling

Page 64: Air environemnt i d mall

6464

1. Grab sampling1. Grab sampling

In grab sampling the sample is collected by filling an evacuated flask or an inflatable bag or any rigid wall container.

Page 65: Air environemnt i d mall

6565

2. Absorption in liquids2. Absorption in liquids

Absorption separates the desired pollutant from air either through direct solubility in the absorbing medium or by chemical reaction. Devices like fritted gas absorber and impengers are widely used for this purpose as the provide large contact surface area.

3. Adsorption on solids3. Adsorption on solids

This method is based on the tendency of gases to be adsorbed on the surface of solid materials. The sample air is passed through a packed column containing a finely divided solid adsorbents, on whose surface the pollutants are retained and concentrated.

The most widely used solid adsorbents are activated charcoal and silica gel.

Page 70: Air environemnt i d mall

Organic Vapour SamplerOrganic Vapour Sampler

A known amount of air is passed through Activated Charcoal tube at a constant flow rate (100 to 200 ml/min) with minimum pressure drop (10-15 mm Hg). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are adsorbed on Activated Charcoal which is later desorbed/extracted using a suitable organic solvent. Extracted/desorbed solvent is used for quantifying the organic compounds (VOCs) with the help of Gas Chromatograph.

STACK EMISSION MONITORING

In stack Emission Monitoring MANUAL STACK SURVEYS : short duration

tests, usually consisting of three one-hour tests. Stack sampling equipment is used to collect effluent samples from the stack.

CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING: This

is done with instruments permanently installed on the stack. Measurements of the concentration and flow rate allow the mass emission rate to be determined on an ongoing, year round basis.

Page 102: Air environemnt i d mall

The following figure shows how stack sampling is done industrially.

The sampling is done by diverting a part of the gas stream through a sampling train as shown in the following figure

SELECTION OF SAMPLING LOCATION

The sampling point should be as far as possible from any disturbing influence, such as elbows, bends, transition pieces, baffles or other obstructions. The sampling point, wherever possible should be at a distance 5-10 diameters down-stream from any obstructions and 3-5 diameters up-stream from similar disturbance.

SIZE OF SAMPLING POINT

The size of sampling point may be made in the range of 7-10 cm, in diameter.

PROCEDURE FOR PARTICULATE PROCEDURE FOR PARTICULATE MATTER SAMPLINGMATTER SAMPLING

1. Determine the gas composition and correct to moisture content.

2. Determine the temperature and velocity at each point using pitot tube at each traverse point

3. Determine the empty weight of the thimble

4. Mark out the traverse points on the probe.

5. Check all points leakages

Page 107: Air environemnt i d mall

107107

6. Determine the flow rate to be sampled under isokinetic conditions

7. Insert the probe at the traverse point 1, very close to the stack. Start the pump and adjust the flow so that the rotameter reads the predetermined value.

8. Switch off the pump at the end of sampling time.9. Read the vacuum at the dry gas meter (DGM) and

also the temperature.10. Move the probe to the subsequent traverse points

by repeating the steps five to eight.11. After completion of collection of samples, remove

the probe and allow it to cool.

12. Remove the thimble carefully. Some of the dust would have adhered to the nozzle. This should be removed by tapping and transferred to the thimble.

13. Weigh the thimble with the sample. The difference in weight gives the dust collected.

14. The volume of sample collected is either given by the dry gas meter (cu m) or by the sampling rate given by rotameter multiplied by the sampling time.

15. Hence from (13) and (14), the emission rate can be calculated. This will be at DGM conditions. This is to be corrected for temperature and pressure so as to obtain values for standard conditions.

1. Piezoelectric Monitor1. Piezoelectric Monitor

In this device, particles in a sample stream are electrostatically deposited on to a piezoelectric sensor. The added weight of particulates changes the osillation frequency of the sensor in a charectristic way. The out put signal can be conditioned so that it becomes directly proportional to particulate mass concentration, which is recorded either by digital or analog recorder.

For the analysis of particulate matter. Here the particulate sample is filtered using a

continuous filter tape and the mass concentration of the filtered out is determined by measuring its attenuation of beta radiation, whose characteristics do not vary widely for different particulate compositions hence a direct mass measurement is possible.

Delhi – total pollution load declines from 412,000t – 328,000 t (1998-2020)

By 2020, two wheelers and cars contribute 80% HC emissions in Delhi

Two wheelers alone contribute 70% of CO2 emissions

Annual Pollution load in Mumbai declines by 40%

Particulates, SOx and NOx declines due to the decline in

diesel usage

CO2 emissions by 2020 under BAU in Delhi would be 2.57

times the present value

In Mumbai it would be 2.7 times

CO2 emissions in Delhi are 2.4 times higher than Mumbai at

any given time

AUTOMOBILE EMISSIONAUTOMOBILE EMISSION

Following factors make pollution from the vehicles more serious in developing countries

Poor quality of vehicles creating more particulates and burning fuels inefficiently.

Lower quality of fuel being used leads to far greater quantities of pollutants.

Concentration of motor vehicles in a few large cities

Exposure of a larger percentage of population that lives and moves in the open.

Neem in Indian culture has been ranked higher than 'Kalpavriksha', the mythological wish-fulfilling tree.

In 'Sharh-e-Mufridat Al-Qanoon, neem has been named as 'Shajar-e-Mubarak', 'the blessed tree', because of its highly beneficial properties.

Although scientific studies are wanting, neem is reputed to purify air and the environment of noxious elements. Its shade not only cools but prevents the occurrence of many diseases.
