摘要
A programme of measurements of ambient air pollution arising from a nitric acid/ammonium nitrate fertiliser works is described. Monitoring was performed by means of fast-response continuous gas analysers, 24h-average manual samplers and deposit gauges. Manufacture of nitric acid was found to be a substantial source of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, and a detailed examination of the chemistry of the resultant plume was undertaken. Ammonium nitrate production was found to release gaseous ammonia and paniculate ammonium nitrate. The monitoring results are discussed in terms of the effect of the fertiliser works upon ambient air quality in the locality. © 1979.
