Stability: air pollution is trapped near the sfc in stable atmos, anticyclones- bad for dispersal, sths- bad for dispersal, temperature inversions very bad, 2. Wind: dispersal/dilution, transports pollutants long distances, 3. Bad for bronze and marble: carbon monoxide (co) Replaces o2 in blood stream, can be fatal: tropospheric ozone. Uv light in troposphere splits no2 (emitted form cars) into no and o. Sunny large cities are very susceptible, because there is a lot traffic and sunshine.
