Investigating the role of meteorological parameters in the transport of air pollutants from LPG tank trailer explosion in Jaipur, India
Air pollution is a growing concern, especially during episodic events that significantly impact air quality and public health. This study examined the impact of air pollutants from an Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) tank trailer explosion in Jaipur, focusing on pollutant transport and the role of meteorology in air quality changes in Jodhpur. The air quality across three phases Pre-Event, During-Event, and Post-Event was assessed by examining variations in pollutant (i.e., PM2.5, PM10, CO, NH3) concentrations and their relationships with meteorological parameters. During the Pre-Event, PM2.5 was low, while PM10 were moderate. During the Event period, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations surged severely to 380 μg/m3 and 430 μg/m3, respectively. CO peaking at 18.3 mg/m3, and NH3 at 17.2 μg/m3, reflecting severe air quality deterioration. The Air Quality Index (AQI) level was 372 in the Pre-Event and reached 435 during the Event. Air Pollutant concentrations and AQI improved post-event due to wind and atmospheric mixing. Meteorological factors, including humidity, boundary layer height, and wind speed, played a critical role in the transport and dispersion of pollutants, with their combined effect contributing significantly to pollutant behavior and air quality fluctuations. This study supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 by addressing air pollution health risks, SDG 11 by emphasizing sustainable urban air quality management, and SDG 13 by examining meteorological impacts on pollution dispersion.
Overall, the study underscores the importance of meteorological conditions in shaping pollutant dispersion and highlights the need for targeted air quality management strategies to mitigate health risks from episodic pollution events.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Pollution Research (APR) is an international journal designed for the publication of articles on air pollution. Papers should present novel experimental results, theory and modeling of air pollution on local, regional, or global scales. Areas covered are research on inorganic, organic, and persistent organic air pollutants, air quality monitoring, air quality management, atmospheric dispersion and transport, air-surface (soil, water, and vegetation) exchange of pollutants, dry and wet deposition, indoor air quality, exposure assessment, health effects, satellite measurements, natural emissions, atmospheric chemistry, greenhouse gases, and effects on climate change.
