Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is an irritating gas with an acrid, pungent odour. It is corrosive, highly oxidizing and non-combustible. It can be released directly to the atmosphere but is often produced by the conversion of nitric oxide released from combustion processes. In the presence of sunlight, nitrogen dioxide can lead to the formation of ozone, nitric acid and nitrate-containing respirable particles.

Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen fluoride is a highly water soluble gas with a strong, irritating odour. It is used in many industrial processes, including the manufacture of fluorocarbons and the production of aluminum fluorides and synthetic cryolite (aluminum industry). Hydrogen fluoride is also used in the fluoridation of drinking water.
