我们报告的第一个每日观测二氧化硫（SO2）排放的铜冶炼厂的卫星传感器-臭氧监测仪（OMI）的美国宇航局的EOS/ Aura航天器。2004年9月至2005年6月期间，在多达80%的OMI立交桥上检测到秘鲁两个冶炼厂（拉奥罗亚和Ilo）的排放物。评估了这一时期各冶炼厂的二氧化硫产量，并与厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚南部活火山同期排放量进行了比较。估计2004 - 2005年Ilo冶炼厂、拉奥罗亚冶炼厂和火山每年的二氧化硫排放量分别为0.3（-0.1）（+0.2）、0.07 +/- 0.03和1.2 +/- 0.5 Tg。这项研究证实了OMI的潜力，作为一个有效的工具，人为和自然的二氧化硫排放量的评估。除了二氧化硫，冶炼厂的烟羽还会输送一系列有毒金属，建议继续监测，以减轻对健康和环境的影响。
We report the first daily observations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from copper smelters by a satellite-borne sensor - the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's EOS/ Aura spacecraft. Emissions from two Peruvian smelters (La Oroya and Ilo) were detected in up to 80% of OMI overpasses between September 2004 and June 2005. SO2 production by each smelter in this period is assessed and compared with contemporaneous emissions from active volcanoes in Ecuador and southern Colombia. Annual SO2 discharge from the Ilo smelter, La Oroya smelter, and volcanoes in 2004 - 2005 is estimated and amounts to 0.3(-0.1)(+0.2), 0.07 +/- 0.03, and 1.2 +/- 0.5 Tg, respectively. This study confirms OMI's potential as an effective tool for evaluation of anthropogenic and natural SO2 emissions. Smelter plumes transport an array of toxic metals in addition to SO2 and continued monitoring to mitigate health and environmental impacts is recommended.
