s from the hydrochloric acid. By 1864, the discharge of hydrochloric acid was banned by law.The effect of Air Pollution!-Meteorology Effect.Perhaps one of the most interesting and terrifying aspects of air pollution is itseffect on climate. Pollutant concentrates are reduced by atmospheric mixing, which depends on such weather conditions as temperature, wind speed, and the movement of high and low pressure systems and their interaction with the local topography. For example, mountains and valleys. Normally, temperature decreases with altitude. But when a colder layer of air settles under a warm layer, producing a temperature or thermal inversion, atmospheric mixing is retarded and pollutants may accumulate near the ground. Inversions can become sustained under a stationary high-pressure system coupled with low wind speeds....
