Influence Of Air Pollutants On Fog Formation In Urban Environment Of Nanjing, China

The response of real concentrations of atmospheric pollutants measured by automatic monitoring stations, was studied in Nanjing City, China. Urban areas are facing increasing fog frequencies that may result due to increased air pollution emanating from variety of sources. The increased pollution levels may lead to the atmospheric reactions resulting into the formation of secondary pollutants that may also lead to increased pollutants in the atmosphere. The result showed that pollutants (SO2, NOx, O-3, CO, PM2.5 and PM10) of fog is higher all days. These finding would be connected fog with pollutant. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
