PLEASE BE DETAILED IF YOU CAN TO GIVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

A) As you know, pollutant transport and dispersion are affected by different scales of motion. Depending on the audience, the following scales of motion are important to them: Microscale, mesoscale, synoptic scale and macroscale. Let's say that you audience includes a 1) meteorologist (weather man), 2) air pollution regulator, 3) astronauts and team members, and 4) Joe Citizen. Tell me which of the above scales of motion is each of the audience interested the most and why?

B) How do lapse rates relate to issues such as the deaths in Denora PA in 1948? Should a permit regulatory analysis of pollutants (such as a NAAQS or an increment analysis) consider the modeling impacts of such situations for design conditions?

C) You are an US EPA inspector working for one of the 10 EPA regions. You are responsible for stratospheric ozone protection (CFCs) inspections under Section 608 of the CAA. You are told to inspect a supermarket that lease or own a freezer (for meats) and a cold storage room (for produce/dairy) and also has a comfort cooling unit (for office and computer room).

Your job: As a section 608 inspector, what would you be looking for (in terms of potential violations)? What are the recordkeeping requirements? What are the penalties and/or violations associated with failure to produce the required recordkeeping.   The units all carry more than 50 pounds of refrigerant (HCFC-22 or blends).

Hint: Look for CAA section 608 regulatory requirements (40 CFR Part 82).

D) Significant changes in visibility have occurred in the eastern part of the U.S. in the past half-century. Describe their cause. Think in terms of pollutants and industry.

E) Describe national and international efforts that are currently in place to protect the ozone layer. What evidence is there that such efforts have been effective?

F) Describe the public health/regulatory significance of voluntary and involuntary risk.   List at least 3 of each.
