Problem
The surface area of an average aerosol in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is 5 × 10-4 m-1 Determine the fraction of a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (phenanthrene) adsorbed on the aerosol. Assume that the value of ρi = 0.10 in the Junge's equation. The average temperature during the collection of the aerosols was 73oF on April 16, 1993. The average precipitation was 0.46 of water. The average particulate phase concentration of phenanthrene measured on that day was 0.21 ng/m3. The air-particulate partition constant for phenanthrene was related to temperature in Kelvins through the equation log KAP = -3423/T + 19. Determine the flux of phenanthrene in μg/m2/day
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
