Preface

We are facing increasing environmental concerns associated with water, air, and soil pollution as well as climate change induced by human activities. Therefore accurate assessment of the state of the environment is a prerequisite for undertaking any course of action towards improvement. In particular, development of new environmental monitoring technologies for the detection of hazardous pollutants and environmental change has become increasingly important to scientists and to regulatory agencies. In recent years there has been much progress in the field of environmental monitoring research, resulting in the development of more accurate, fast, compound-specific, convenient, and cost-effective techniques by integrating emerging technologies from various disciplines. This book is a result of the 6th International Symposium on Advanced Environmental Monitoring, organized by ADvanced Environmental Monitoring Center (ADEMRC), Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea and held in Heidelberg, Germany on June, 27–30, 2006. It presents recent advances in the research and development of forthcoming technologies, as well as in field applications in advanced environmental monitoring.

Air Pollution Monitoring Systems—Past–Present–Future U. Platt

Abstract Measurements of trace gas concentrations and other parameters like photolysis frequencies are a crucial tool for air pollution monitoring and the investigation of processes in the atmosphere. However, the determination of atmospheric trace gas concentrations constitutes a technological challenge, since extreme sensitivity (mixing ratios as low as 10−13) is desired simultaneously with high specificity i.e. the molecule of interest usually must be detected in the presence of a large excess of other species. In addition, spatially resolved measurements are becoming increasingly important. Today none of the existing measurement techniques meets all above requirements for trace gas measurements in the atmosphere. Therefore, a comprehensive arsenal of different techniques has been developed. Besides a large number of special techniques (like the ubiquitous short-path UV absorption for O3 measurement) universal methods gain interest, due to their economy and relative ease of use. In particular, a single instrument can register a large number of different trace species. The different types of requirements and the various techniques are discussed; special emphasis is given to spectroscopic methods, which play a large and growing role in atmospheric chemistry research. For instance, only spectroscopic methods allow remote sensing and spatially resolved determination of trace gas concentrations e.g. from space-borne platforms. Today many varieties of spectroscopic methods are in use (e.g. tunable diode laser- and Fourier-transform spectroscopy). The basic properties and recent applications of this technique are presented using differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) as an example. Future requirements and expected developments are discussed.

Introduction

Measurements of trace gas and aerosol concentrations (and other quantities like the intensity of the radiation field in the atmosphere) are experimental prerequisites for pollution monitoring and the understanding of the underlying physicochemical processes in the earth’s atmosphere (Roscoe and Clemitshaw 1997; Platt 1991, 1999; Clemitshaw 2004). At the same time the determination of trace gas concentrations in the atmosphere is a challenge for the analytical techniques employed in several respects. First, the technique must be very sensitive to detect the species under consideration at ambient concentration levels. This can be a very demanding criterion, since, for instance, species present at mixing ratios ranging from as low as 0.1 ppt (1 ppt corresponds to a mixing ratio of 1 pmol of trace gas per mole of air or a mixing ratio of 10−12, equivalent to about 2.4 × 107 molecules/cm3) to several ppb (1 ppb corresponds to 1 nmol mol−1 or a mixing ratios of 10−9) can still have a significant influence on the chemical processes in the atmosphere (Perner et al. 1987). Thus, detection limits from below 0.1 ppt up to the lower ppb-range are usually required, depending on the application. Second, it is equally important for the measurement techniques to be specific, which means, that the result of the measurement of a particular species must neither be positively nor negatively influenced by any other trace species simultaneously present in the probed volume of air. Given the large number of different molecules present at the ppt and ppb level, even in clean air, this is not a trivial condition. Third, the technique must allow sufficient precision and calibration to be feasible. In most practical applications, there are other requirements, including spatial coverage, time resolution, properties like simplicity of design and use of the instruments, a capability of real-time operation (as opposed to taking samples for later analysis), and the possibility of unattended operation. Other factors to be considered are weight, portability, and dependence of the measurement on ambient conditions. To date no single measurement technique can fulfil all the diverse requirements for trace gas measurements in the atmosphere. Therefore, specialised techniques or variants of techniques have been developed, which are tailored to the various measurement tasks occurring in atmospheric research, pollution control, and monitoring of atmospheric change: 1. Long-term observations are aimed at monitoring gradual changes in atmospheric parameters, e.g. its trace gas composition. Typical examples are ● ● ●

In this context the so-called ‘operator dilemma’ should be noted: the measurement of a particular set of species over an extended period is frequently not considered a scientific challenge; on the other hand, the success of the data series hinges on the very careful execution of the measurements. Here the psychological side of the project may be as critical as the technology. 2. Regional and episodic studies seek to investigate causes, extent, and consequences of regional events like air pollution episodes or boundary layer ozone depletion events (Barrie et al. 1988). While routine monitoring is an issue many fundamental questions can only be investigated by observations made on a regional scale. Typical measurements tasks in this context are ● ●

3. Investigation of fast in situ (photo) chemistry allows to neglect the effect of transport, in particular this is true for the following systems: Free-radical (e.g. OH, HO2, BrO) photochemistry, where the lifetime of the reactive species is of the order of seconds (OH: below 1 s, HO2: from
