Environmental Chemistry Cautions for a Finite World Topics Natural Cycles Water Oxygen Carbon Nitrogen Energy Anthropogenic Burdens Enviromental Divisions Atmosphere Hydrosphere Biosphere Lithosphere “Better Living through Chemistry” “Solution to Pollution is Dilution” Mantra presumes infinite reservoirs. Treats pollution as a local concentration to be reduced by an ? of natural purity. Need for reduction well below LD50. Diffusion and mass transport aid the myth. Unrelenting contamination overwhelms. All sinks are finite sinks. Equilibrium and kinetics are unforgiving. Kinetics and Thermodynamics In evolving systems, current states are a function of both. Thermodynamics says where equilibrium would lie if it ever arrived. Kinetics declares the rate at which species are evolving in time. Via the rates of chemical reactions Via diffusion and mass transport Degradation in Dilution Model As equilibrium (pollution homogeneity) approaches, sink rates slow. Product “pressures” dictate that reverse reactions (return of contaminants) rise to counter the cleansing protocols. ? dilution is not the answer. Understanding long-range planning are. Global Water Cycle Despite drought and its famine … Water’s global cycle is little altered by us. Solar evaporation ? humid atmosphere Cresting waves ? microscopic salt crystals Rising air currents ? lower air Tadiabatic Salt crystals seed condensation. Rainfall snares soluble gases, feeds Life, erodes mountains, and returns to the sea. But, as everything is connected… Anthropogenic particulates influence where it rains, and downwind it doesn’t. Anthropogenic combustion influences what the rain dissolves and bombards. H2O, the universal solvent, brings acid rain. Global Warming shifts precip. patterns. Redistributes coastlines and grain belts. Feast famine migrates on the globe. Acid Rain Natural Acidity, CO2(aq) PCO2 = 370 ppmv, KH, Ka1 yield pH 5.6 SO3 N2O5 are strong acid anhydrides. Vulcanism, sour crude, and ore smelting produce
