Study of the
relation between wind direction
and temperature inversions

Relation
between temperature inversion and air pollution |

Introduction:
The air is constantly
moving. Convection currents and wind keep air circulating around
the Earth. Polluted air moves away and it becomes replaced by fresh
air. However in certain circumstances such as temperature
inversions and faint wind, the air does not circulate and
pollutants accumulate. Such accumulation of pollutants kills
hundreds or thousands of people each year around the world.
On the week beginning December 5th 1952, four thousand Londoners
died in the worst air-pollution disaster on record. |

Project
description:
In this project we will study and
perform experiments to see how does wind direction cause temperature
inversion. You may also perform experiments to see how does temperature
inversion affect accumulation of pollutants or air pollution. You may do
this title as a display project or as an experimental (investigatory)
project. |
