2. Horizontal transport of pollutants in the atmosphere DistanceTime scale Seconds Hours Days Months Years 1 – 10 m 3 – 30 km 100 – 1000 km Hemisphere Globe

3. Vertical transport of pollutants in the atmosphere. Time scales for vertical transport of pollutants from the ground to the layers indicated. The boundaries of the layers vary with day and night. The troposphere determines the weather The stratosphere acts as a lid LayerExtensionTime scale Boundary layer Troposphere Stratosphere Minutes to hours Days to weeks Years Ground - 100 m/3 km 100 m/3 km - 10 m/15 km 10 m/15 km - 50 km
