The use of cypress tree bark as an environmental indicator of heavy metals deposition in Fuheis City, Jordan
The present study focused on the use of cypress tree bark as an environmental indicator of heavy metal deposition in Fuheis City, Jordan, and the evaluation of the impact of emissions from the cement industry in the adjacent environment. Tree bark samples were collected from four directions (north, south, east and west) in the vicinity of the cement factory. The samples were analysed for heavy ...

X-Ray Fluorescence-Based Multi-Metal Continuous Emission Monitor
ABSTRACT: Army demilitarization incinerators will need to comply with the Hazardous Waste Combustor National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants that will regulate metals and metal compounds listed under the Clean Air Act Amendments. A large problem for these incinerator operations is limited knowledge of the type and quantity of emitted metals, so that compliance may be determined ...

An incinerator air quality impact assessment for metals, PAH, dioxins and furans by using the MM5-CMAQ-EMIMO atmospheric modelling system: Spain case study
In this paper, we show the implementation of a modified version of MM5-CMAQ for carrying out an air quality impact analysis for installing an incinerator in the Basque Country model domain (Spain). The modified CMAQ model (EPA USA, 2004) includes Poly-Chlorinated Dibenzop-Dioxins and Dibenzo-Furans (dioxins and furans). This model represents their congeners as divided between gaseous and aerosol ...

Metal releases from a municipal solid waste incineration air pollution control residue mixed with compost
The influence of 10 wt.% mature compost was tested on the heavy metal leachate emissions from a calcium-rich municipal solid waste incineration air pollution control residue (MSWI APC). Apart from elongated columns (500 and 1250 mm), an otherwise norm compliant European percolation test setup was used. More than 99% of the metals Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe and Ni were left in the APC residue after ...

Continuous monitoring of hazardous smokestack metal emissions using inductively coupled argon plasma atomic emission spectrometry
Introduction Emission of hazardous air pollutant metals from the smokestacks of boilers, incinerators, and furnaces has become a matter of significant environmental concern and the object of increased regulatory scrutiny. At issue, is the ability of large-scale combustors such as these to maintain operation in compliance with the regulatory restrictions put in place to safeguard the public from ...

Progressing aluminium radiation thermometry
The most sensitive variable in the processing of aluminium is temperature. At critical stages, it is vital to obtain accurate measurements of billet and product temperature. The difficulty in producing this measurement has led to many technological advances in the field of thermometry - from contact measurements to single wavelength pyrometry, to ratio pyrometry to counteract the low and ...

POWERING THE NEW ENERGY ECONOMY: HEEDING LESSONS FROM THE PAST AS WE BUILD THE NEW ELECTRICAL REVOLUTION
In the late 19th century, the first Electrical Revolution lit up the world. Now, electricity courses across continents and in the devices we use every day. Revolutions accelerate history–the speed of change–and a new electrical energy revolution is afoot. Electric vehicles, wind turbines, and an increasingly digitized economy represent the face of our current ...

Life-cycle assessment of common water main materials in water distribution networks
This paper examines the economy-wide environmental impacts linked to the manufacturing of PVC and ductile iron (DI) pipes, steel tanks, and to the generation of electricity for pumping in water distribution network optimization. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to generate Pareto-optimal solutions of the benchmark ‘Anytown’ network expansion problem. Selected ...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring of Total Mercury
Over the past decades, mercury (Hg, quicksilver) has gone from being a versatile commodity used in everything from thermometers to herbicides, to a partially banned substance, which name alone signals environmental issues and health concerns. Today, much use of mercury has been phased out in favour of more environmental- and health-friendly substances, and the remaining circulation of mercury is ...

Air quality in Europe - 2014 report
Despite considerable improvements in the past decades, Europe is still far from achieving levels of air quality that do not pose unacceptable risks to humans and the environment. Air pollution is the top environmental risk factor of premature death in Europe; it increases the incidence of a wide range of diseases and has several environmental impacts, damaging vegetation and ecosystems. This ...

Costs of air pollution from European industrial facilities 2008-2012
In 2011, the European Environment Agency (EEA) published a first assessment of the costs of air pollution caused by European industrial facilities. The report Revealing the costs of air pollution from industrial facilities in Europe (EEA, 2011) applied a simplified modelling approach to assess the damage costs to health and the environment in 2009, caused by pollutant emissions from industrial ...
