Comparisons of Measurements and Predictions of PM Concentrations and Emission Rates from a Wind Erosion EventPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska 711P0311cd Paper #11020.(doi:10.13031/2013.39220)Authors: Kori D Moore, Michael D Wojcik, Christian C Marchant, Randal S Martin, Richard L Pfeiffer, John H Prueger, Jerry L Hatfield Keywords: KEYWORDS: Wind erosion, PM, Emissions, Vertical flux equation, Air dispersion modeling, Remote sensing, LIDAR, Optical particle counter, Point sensor Wind erosion can affect agricultural productivity, soil stability, and air quality. Air quality concerns deal mainly with human health and welfare issues, but are also related to long range transport and deposition of crustal materials. Regulatory standards for ambient levels of particulate matter (PM) with equivalent aerodynamic diameters = 10 m (PM10) and = 2.5 m (PM2.5) have been established in many countries in an effort to protect the health and welfare of their citizens. Wind erosion events may lead to high PM levels that exceed air quality standards and are health hazards. Quantifying suspended wind-blown dust emissions and resulting PM concentrations from wind erosion events are, therefore, of significant interest. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
