“…However, close to industrial sources such as the large paper and pulp mills near Lake Baikal, Toda et al (2010) found it to be as much as 10 ppb at times. At the edge of an industrial area in the city of Ansan, Korea the median MeSH concentration during long term monitoring through the year was 0.012 ppb (Susaya et al, 2011), much lower than the industrial site.…”

“…Very high concentrations of organosulfides are found in gas from recovery boilers including H 2 S, OCS and CS 2 , MeSH, ethanethiol (EtSH), DMS and DMDS (for details see Vainio et al, 2010a). Toda et al (2010) argue that MeSH is formed in the reactor by methylation of sulfide and is vaporised relatively easily because of its weak acidic dissociation constant (Ka), more than six orders of magnitude smaller than that of H 2 S (pKa for MeSH 13.6, for H 2 S 7.0 and 12.9). DMS also has a high vapour pressure, but the formation of DMS is likely much slower because of the second methylation.…”

Previous studies of the global sulfur cycle have focused almost exclusively on oxidized species and just a few sulfides. This focus is expanded here to include a wider range of reduced sulfur compounds. Inorganic sulfides tend to be bound into sediments, and sulfates are present both in sediments and the oceans. Sulfur can adopt polymeric forms that include S-S bonds. This review examines the global anthropogenic sources of reduced sulfur, updating emission inventories and widening the consideration of industrial sources. It estimates the anthropogenic fluxes of key sulfides to the atmosphere (units Gg S

“…Malodorous, reduced sulphur compounds (RSC) are often associated with oil refining, pulp/paper mill and waste treatment activities (Nunes et al, 2005;Pal et al, 2009;Toda et al, 2010) and we note that not only a huge oil-refinery complex but also Spain's largest pulp/paper mill is located in Huelva.…”

Variable lifetimes and loss mechanisms for NO3 and N2O5 during the DOMINO campaign: contrasts between marine, urban and continental air

et al. 2011

Abstract. Nighttime mixing ratios of boundary layer N 2 O 5 were determined using cavity-ring-down spectroscopy during the DOMINO campaign in Southern Spain (Diel Oxidant Mechanisms In relation to Nitrogen Oxides, 21 November 2008-8 December 2008. N 2 O 5 mixing ratios ranged from below the detection limit (∼5 ppt) to ∼500 ppt. A steady-state analysis constrained by measured mixing ratios of N 2 O 5 , NO 2 and O 3 was used to derive NO 3 lifetimes and compare them to calculated rates of loss via gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions of both NO 3 and N 2 O 5 . Three distinct types of air masses were encountered, which were largely marine (Atlantic), continental or urban-industrial in origin. NO 3 lifetimes were longest in the Atlantic sector (up to ∼30 min) but were very short (a few seconds) in polluted, air masses from the local city and petroleum-related industrial complex of Huelva. Air from the continental sector was an intermediate case. The high reactivity to NO 3 of the urban air mass was not accounted for by gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions, rates of which were constrained by measurements of NO, volatile organic species and aerosol surface area. In general, high NO 2 mixing ratios were associated with low NO 3 lifetimes, though heterogeneous processes (e.g. reaction of N 2 O 5 on aerosol) were generally less important than direct gas-phase losses of NO 3 . The presence of SO 2 at levels above ∼2 ppb in the urban air sector was always associated with very low N 2 O 5 mixing ratios indicating either very short NO 3 lifetimes in the presence of Correspondence to: J. N. Crowley (john.crowley@mpic.de) combustion-related emissions or an important role for reduced sulphur species in urban, nighttime chemistry. High production rates coupled with low lifetimes of NO 3 imply an important contribution of nighttime chemistry to removal of both NO x and VOC.

“…Despite the possible environmental and health risks, monitoring VOCs in paper mills has not been widely done, and little research has been reported. The results in the literature (Bordado and Gomes 2002;Avsar and Demirer 2008;Toda et al 2010) revealed that methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone were detected by the on-site measurement of pulp and paper plants, and some malodorous gases were measured from the emissions of kraft pulp mills. These studies have focused on analyzing sulfides in atmospheric emissions from pulp mills, ambient air near the pulp and paper mills, or the compositions of pollutants based on the types of materials added during the production process.…”

In this work, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the ambient air of a secondary fiber paper mill were analyzed. For the sake of studying pollution comprehensively, four sites in the paper mill were analyzed and active sampling methods were used. Desorption was carried out with two solvents, carbon disulfide and dichloromethane. The compositions of VOCs were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The main identified substances in the four sites were as follows: (1) waste paper sorting room: alkanes, phenols, and esters; (2) papermaking workshop: benzene series, alkanes, ethers, and phenols; (3) vacuum pump outlet: benzene series and phenols; and (4) office area: benzene series and phenols. Two main toxic substances in VOCs, the benzene series and phenols, were detected in the ambient air of the paper mill. The benzene series existed in three places along the main process of the paper mill and even existed in the office area, which was far away from the production line. Additionally, phenols were detected in all sampling locations in the paper mill.
