Air Quality Management in Iasi City

Abstract

According to the Romanian Law no. 265/2006, which adopted the Governmental Decision no. 195/2005 on environmental protection, environmental agencies are responsible for air quality monitoring in Romania. Since Romania is now an EU Member State, such a plan is a must to enhance life quality, in order to meet the objectives of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development. Having regarded to this Strategy and the Kyoto Protocol signed in 1997, this paper provides the results from a study of ambiental air quality in Iasi City using data recorded by the Iasi City Environment Agency (based on daily air-quality reports from January 1, 2010 to April 31, 2011, issued by the National Environment Agency). Analyzing such data, we drew a set of guidelines to follow when drawing up an Air Quality Management Plan for Iasi City. The following air pollutants were measured and assessed: sulfur dioxide (SO 2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O 3), particulate (PM10 and PM2.5).

Investigation into the Aerodynamic Parameters of the Recently Designed Two-Level Cylindrical Multi-Channel Cyclone-Separator

“…The effectiveness of the mentioned cyclone-separators is from 75 to 85%; the air is cleaned from the solid particles that are more than 20 microns in diameter. According to the objectives of Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe, this is not sufficient (10)(11)(12)(13).…”

“…Therefore, the evaluation of particle behavior is a crucial aspect. In order to gain higher air cleaning effectiveness, the assessment of pollutant behavior is important for designing air cleaning devices (Hoffmann 2000;Baltrėnas and Zagorskis 2010;Vaitiekūnas and Jak s stonienė 2010;Pushnov and Berengarten 2011;Baltrėnas et al 2012;Luca and Ioan 2012). Microparticles in the above-introduced equipment most frequently precipitate under the influence of sedimentation processes taking place in the multichannel cyclone and stick to the partition wall of the device.…”

Experimental Researches and Comparison on Aerodynamic Parameters and Cleaning Efficiency of Multi-Level Multi-Channel Cyclone / Daugialygių Daugiakanalių Ciklonų Aerodinaminių Parametrų Ir Valymo Efektyvumo Eksperimentiniai Tyrimai Ir Palyginimas

“…Dėl oro taršos blogėja aplinkos oro kokybė, susidaro nepalankios darbo sąlygos darbuotojams bei įrangai. Į žmogaus organizmą patekusios KD sukelia akių, odos bei kvėpavimo takų traumas, kraujagyslių bei širdies ligas, pasižymi kancerogeniniu poveikiu (Blumberga et al 2012;Luca, Ioan 2012;Pushnov, Berengarten 2011).…”
