Pollutants present in the atmosphere — measurements, models, and indices describing air quality. The source of emissions is Socio-Technical Contaminants; this twig records what is actually in the air.
Scope
- Measured pollutant concentrations: NO₂, PM2.5, PM10, O₃ (tropospheric ozone), SO₂, CO
- Air quality indices: AQI, CAQI, and national air quality classifications
- Ozone-depleting substances: CFCs, HCFCs in the stratosphere
- Modelled air quality: Dispersion models, chemical transport models
- Emission inventories (atmospheric side): What goes into the atmosphere — the spatial distribution of emissions in the air column
