Question

Convert the following air pollutant concentrations from ppb to ug/m or vice versa, assuming conditions of p 850 bars and T- 270 K. a) 30 ppb O₃ b) 1000 ug/ m³ CH₄

Answer 1

To convert air pollutant concentrations from ppb to ug/m or vice versa, used conversion factors. For example, 30 ppb O3 is equal to 30 ug/m3 O3 under given conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert air pollutant concentrations from parts per billion (ppb) to micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³) or vice versa, we need to use conversion factors. The conversion factor for ppb to µg/m³ is:

1 ppb = 1 µg/m³ (under the given conditions of p = 850 bars and T = 270 K)

Using this conversion factor:

a) 30 ppb O₃ = 30 µg/m³ O₃ (under the given conditions)

For the conversion from µg/m³ to ppb:

b) 1000 µg/m³ CH₄ = 1000 ppb CH₄ (under the given conditions)
