An overview of particulate dry deposition: measuring methods, deposition velocity and controlling factors
Mariraj Mohan, S.
Abstract
Much importance was given to dry deposition
over the past few decades as it deteriorated the environmental
conditions and resulted in subsequent health effects.
This paper starts with an overall scenario of dry deposition
research; it focuses on: various particulate dry deposition
flux measurement methods, comparison of various published
numerical values on dry deposition velocity and
factors controlling dry deposition velocity. This work
provides a technical overview to research studies on the
current state of dry deposition and limitations of various
measurement methods. Relationship between dry deposition
flux and particle concentration is discussed with the
help of previous works. Various mathematical models used
to predict dry deposition velocity are discussed. Dry
deposition velocity of particulates around the world is
compared to gain perspective on factors influencing dry
deposition.
Keywords
Dry deposition flux; Dry deposition velocity; Dry deposition model; Particulate matter; Meteorological factor
