Evolution of atmospheric pollutants in the city of Sfax (Tunisia) (October 1996-June 1997)
The descriptive study related to the evolution of O sub(3), NO, NO sub(2), CO, SO sub(2), CH sub(4), NMHC and PM sub(10) concentrations in downtown Sfax showed, during the period October 1996-June 1997, that the city is significantly influenced by many sources and meteorological factors. The diurnal...

Zusammenfassung: | The descriptive study related to the evolution of O sub(3), NO, NO sub(2), CO, SO sub(2), CH sub(4), NMHC and PM sub(10) concentrations in downtown Sfax showed, during the period October 1996-June 1997, that the city is significantly influenced by many sources and meteorological factors. The diurnal average concentrations of these species let appear at times some peculiarities due to the population local customs and also to particular meteorological conditions associated with predominant strong cyclonic situations (cut-off lows). Based on NO and CH sub(4), two species selected respectively as local and synoptic tracers, this descriptive study which is refined by a principal component analysis showed, out from these particular meteorological conditions, three components of the atmospheric pollution: a first component formed by CH sub(4) and in less degree NMHC showing the impact of synoptic sources, a second component containing NO, NO sub(2), CO, SO sub(2) and in less degree PM sub(10) and NMHC displaying the impact of local sources (vehicle and industrial sources), and finally a third component constituted by O sub(3) and in less degree PM sub(10) presenting the impact of regional sources. Under the above quoted cyclonic situations, the distribution of such components was shown considerably modified.Original Abstract: El estudio descriptivo con relation a la evolucion de las concentraciones de los compuestos O sub(3), NO, NO sub(2), CO, SO sub(2), CH sub(4), NMHC y de los PM sub(10) en la ciudad de Sfax senalo, durante el periodo de octubre 1996 hasta junio 1997, que la ciudad esta fuertemente influenciada por varias fuentes y factores meteorologicos. Las concentraciones diurnas medias de dichas especies mostraron algunas particularidades debidas a las costumbres locales de los habitantes y tambien a las particulares condiciones meteorologicas asociadas a las fuertes situaciones ciclonicas (bajas segregadas). Con base en NO y CH sub(4), dos especies seleccionadas como trazadores local y sinoptico de la contaminacion respectivamente, este estudio descriptivo refinado con un analisis de componentes principales mostro, aparte de estas situaciones particulares, tres componentes de la contaminacion atmosferica: un primer componente formado por CH sub(4) y en menor grado NMHC mostrando el impacto de las fuentes sinopticas, un segundo componente conteniendo NO, NO sub(2), CO, SO sub(2), y en menor grado PM sub(10) y NMHC exponiendo el impacto de las fuentes loca |
