As an example, a measured NO x concentration of 45 ppmv in a dry gas having 5 volume % O 2 is: 45 × ( 20.9 - 3 ) ÷ ( 20.9 - 5 ) = 50.7 ppmv of NO x. when corrected to a dry gas having a specified reference O 2 content of 3 volume %. Note: The measured gas concentration C m must first be corrected to a dry basis before using the above equation.
If a gaseous emission sample is analyzed and found to contain water vapor and a pollutant concentration of say 40 ppmv, then 40 ppmv should be designated as the "wet basis" pollutant concentration. The following equation can be used to correct the measured "wet basis" concentration to a "dry basis" concentration: [3]
Source term (the concentration or quantity of toxins in emission or accidental release source terms) and temperature of the material Emissions or release parameters such as source location and height, type of source (i.e., fire, pool or vent stack) and exit velocity , exit temperature and mass flow rate or release rate.
Particulate matter (PM) is generally classified into two main size categories: PM 10 and PM 2.5. PM 10, also known as coarse particulate matter, consists of particles 10 micrometers (μm) and smaller, while PM 2.5, also called fine particulate matter, consists of particles 2.5 μm and smaller. [29]
Average levels of PM 2.5 were measured using aqicn.org's World Air Quality Index data, and a formula developed by AirNow was used to convert the PM 2.5 figure into micrograms per cubic meter of air ( μg / m 3 ) values. Among the 70 capital cities investigated, Baghdad, Iraq is the worst performing one, with PM 2.5 levels going up +31.6 ...
The index is based on the concentrations of five pollutants. The index is calculated from the concentrations of the following pollutants: ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur ioxide, PM2.5 and PM10. The breakpoints between index values are defined for each pollutant separately and the overall index is defined as the maximum value of the index.
In chemistry, the mass concentration ρ i (or γ i) is defined as the mass of a constituent m i divided by the volume of the mixture V. [1]= For a pure chemical the mass concentration equals its density (mass divided by volume); thus the mass concentration of a component in a mixture can be called the density of a component in a mixture.
