Las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos de los calentadores de espacio de queroseno
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|December 10, 1982
Resumen
Los calentadores de espacio portátiles de queroseno emiten contaminantes atmosféricos nocivos como óxidos de nitrógeno y monóxido de carbono. Su uso en los hogares puede llevar a que la calidad del aire interior supere las normas sanitarias.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias ambientales Ciencias ambientales.
- Calidad del aire en interiores.
- Química de la combustión en la combustión.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los calentadores de espacio portátiles de queroseno son dispositivos de calefacción comunes.
- Existen preocupaciones con respecto al impacto en la calidad del aire interior de los aparatos de combustión.
- Comprender las emisiones de estos calentadores es crucial para la salud pública.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para cuantificar las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos de los calentadores de espacio portátiles de queroseno.
- Evaluar los riesgos potenciales para la salud asociados con su uso en entornos residenciales.
- Para comparar los niveles de emisión con los estándares de calidad del aire establecidos.
Principales métodos:
- Las emisiones se midieron en una cámara ambiental controlada.
- Se determinaron los factores de emisión para los contaminantes clave.
- Se analizaron los niveles de contaminantes para detectar óxidos de nitrógeno, dióxido de azufre, monóxido de carbono, dióxido de carbono y agotamiento de oxígeno.
Principales resultados:
- Se establecieron factores de emisión de óxidos de nitrógeno, dióxido de azufre, monóxido de carbono y dióxido de carbono.
- Se observó un agotamiento significativo del oxígeno.
- Las exposiciones calculadas excedieron las normas de calidad del aire ambiente y, en algunos casos, las normas de salud ocupacional.
Conclusiones:
- Los calentadores de espacio portátiles de queroseno liberan contaminantes que pueden degradar la calidad del aire interior.
- El uso residencial puede presentar riesgos para la salud debido a la superación de los parámetros de referencia de calidad del aire.
- Puede ser justificada una evaluación adicional de las estrategias de ventilación y el diseño del calentador.

02:37Standard Enthalpy of Formation
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...
02:12Enthalpy and Heat of Reaction
Combustion, commonly known as burning, is a reaction in which a substance reacts with an oxidizing agent, which in most cases is molecular oxygen, to liberate energy in the form of heat, light, or sound. The heat of combustion is also known as the enthalpy of combustion. The energy released when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion at constant pressure is called molar heat of combustion. Combustion reactions are exothermic; that is, they release energy, and their ΔH sign...
02:14Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
The low reactivity in alkanes can be attributed to the non-polar nature of C–C and C–H σ bonds. Alkanes, therefore, were initially termed as “paraffins,” derived from the Latin words: parum, meaning “too little,” and affinis, meaning “affinity.”
Alkanes undergo combustion in the presence of excess oxygen and high-temperature conditions to give carbon dioxide and water. A combustion reaction is the energy source in natural gas, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and...

02:23Autoxidation of Ethers to Peroxides and Hydroperoxides
Ethers represent a class of chemical compounds that become more dangerous with prolonged storage because they tend to form explosive peroxides when standing in the air. Autoxidation is the spontaneous oxidation of a compound in air. In the presence of oxygen, ethers slowly oxidize to form hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides.
01:25Aromatic Compounds: Overview
In general, the term ‘aromatic’ indicates a pleasant smell or fragrance from fresh flowers, freshly prepared coffee, etc. In the early history of organic chemistry, many benzene derivatives were isolated from the pleasant odor oils of the plants. For example, vanillin was isolated from the oil of vanilla, methyl salicylate from the oil of wintergreen, and cinnamaldehyde from the oil of cinnamon. They all had a pleasant odor; hence the name aromatic was given.

01:02Flame Photometry: Overview
Flame photometry, also known as flame emission spectrometry, is a technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements present in a sample using a flame as the source of excitation energy. The concept of flame photometry was realized in the early 1860s by Kirchhoff and Bunsen, who discovered that specific elements emit characteristic radiation when excited in flames. The first instrument developed for this purpose was used to measure sodium (Na) in plant ash using a Bunsen...
