Abstract

This study shows the importance of habituating Environmental Sciences students to comparing the theories about generation, reactivity and evolution of atmospheric pollutants with experimental measurements or with good databases available in the Internet. This concept was applied to the analysis of the data collected in the automatic analyzers located in the campus of the Autonomous University of Madrid regarding nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide, suspended particles and solar emission intensity. These measures were carried out in three periods and were recorded in a data logger connected to the analyzers. The results presented summarize the concentration of those pollutants in the air samples analyzed, showing a low pollution level at the campus. Results also ratify the theoretical concepts about the origin and evolution of those pollutants in the atmosphere for the selected place and time.
