Abstract:
CAREAIR is the abbreviation for "Computer aided Analysis of Reduction strategies for Emissions and ambient AIR pollution". It is a modelling-system for air pollution analyses including a flexible emission model developed at the IER. The PC-based version of the system is especially designed for applications in so-called 3rd-world countries, but in fact it can be used for any country. A modeling database for many emission relevant processes and related emission factors is part of it. This paper first gives a short overview on the capabilities of CAREAIR and secondly presents part of the emission inventory for Nigeria, which has been elaborated using CAREAIR during a cooperation between the University of Stuttgart (FRG) and the Obafemi Awolowo University of Ile-Ife (Nigeria). In particular estimates of the yearly emissions of total Hydrocarbons (VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds), divided into CH4 (Methane) and NMVOC (Non-Methane-VOC), NOx (Nitrogen Oxides), N2O (Nitrous Oxide), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and CO (Carbon Monoxide) emissions in Nigeria 1989 are given.

Noble Gases
The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.
