We are about to work through Godish, Davis, and Fu’s (2014) textbook related to air quality. As such, we are going to be discussing engineering principles related to how we can engineer air quality as a means of controlling air quality. Consequently, we must first consider what constitutes air pollution. What do you believe qualifies as air pollution? Why? at least 200 words in length.

What is the significance of an atmospheric chemical sink—specifically when studying methods to engineer outdoor air quality? How would you explain this in layman’s terms to a company hiring you to help with the permitting process for a new facility? at least 200 words in length

Which do you think poses a greater risk to the overall population in U.S. homes: radon or biological contaminants? Why? Do you think it could vary by region? Why? at least 200 words in length.

Consider that an employee within a company-sponsored (OSHA required) medical monitoring program for your industry has just had an annual work physical and now reports to have pulmonary stress, hearing damage, and elevated blood lead (Pb) concentrations that were not previously reported on the employee’s pre-employment exam. As a result, the human resources manager has asked you to help determine what work-related variables may have contributed to the employee’s impacted health. What variables would you need to consider from within the work system, and what questions would you need to ask the worker to consider from within the worker’s area of residence? How would you attempt to delineate the air quality impacts from the employee’s work system and home? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words.

Oil field companies are often known for keeping a well-serviced fleet of trucks for their staff employees, including often replacing these trucks for aesthetic purposes in order to maintain a strong marketing position within their competitive marketplace of client oil and gas producers. One of the most notable deteriorations of oil field service vehicles with relatively little age and mileage is the exterior paint coating of the vehicle. What air pollutants might be responsible for the deterioration of the vehicle paint color, luster, and integrity? Carefully explain your answer from a chemical perspective.at least 200 words in length.

What problems do you perceive that this practice could pose when attempting to generalize air quality study outcomes? If you were the environmental engineer for a company tasked with monitoring emissions, reflect on how you would explain to management the benefits of stricter tolerances in your company’s monitoring.at least 200 words in length.

Consider the looping plume form due to windy conditions, and recall that the Gaussian model presumes a normal curve distribution. What problems do you perceive that a Gaussian model might pose when attempting to exclusively use this model in variable wind areas? How do you think the shape of the looping plume could affect the statistical model assumptions inherent in the Gaussian model? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length.

We have just spent the last seven units engineering air quality to meet federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state air quality control limits. How will you be able to apply what you learned in this course to your current or future work within your own state within the United States, or within a different country (if you do not reside in the United States)? at least 200 words in length.

Discuss the engineering options available, the mode of action for capturing particle-phase pollutants from air, and the advantages and disadvantages of each as an option in air quality system designs.at least 300 words in length.

Discuss the three design types of catalytic systems and include factors that often degrade these systems. at least 300 words in length.

Recall the material presented in the lesson and chapter readings. Discuss the importance of redox reactions in air chemistry. at least 300 words in length

Discuss photolysis as an aspect of photochemical oxidation and its impact on environmental air quality. at least 300 words in length.
