Air quality and ancillary benefits of climate change policies

Action to combat climate change will deliver considerable ancillary benefits in air pollution abatement by 2030. The ancillary benefits will be: • lower overall costs of controlling air pollutant emissions in the order of EUR 10 billion per year; • reduced air pollutant emissions, leading to a fall in damage to public health (e.g. more than 20 000 fewer premature deaths/year) and ...

A GIS based air quality system for the Apulia region, southern Italy

A GIS based air quality modelling system has been developed in Apulia region in the Southern Italy, to support local authorities in air quality management. Meteorological and dispersion simulations were performed for the year 2005. Predictions have been compared with concentration data from the air quality monitoring network. Results evidence a good correlation between predictions and ...

The impact of economic growth and international environmental treaties on the environment in transition economies

Environmental quality and economic development are often thought to be causally linked. This paper empirically examines the impact of economic growth and international environmental treaties on air pollution emissions in several transition countries using panel data analysis. The results indicate that economic growth, proxied by the conventional input factors of production, total labour force and ...

Carbon dioxide emissions, impact on Malaysia's manufacturing productivity growth

The methods used to measure productivity growth generally ignore the pollutants that are produced by the industrial processes. For example, pollutant emissions generated as undesirable output, apart from the main output of Malaysia's manufacturing sector, are excluded from the productivity accounting framework. This study aims at an extended productivity measure that takes pollutants into account ...

Air quality in europe 2017

The Air quality in Europe report series from the EEA presents regular assessments of Europe's air pollutant emissions, concentrations and their associated impacts on health and the environment. Air pollution is a key environmental and social issue and, at the same time, it is a complex problem posing multiple challenges in terms of management and mitigation of harmful pollutants. Air ...

Utilisation and integration of interdisciplinary computer models into a tool for analysing ozone production from transportation sources

High ozone levels detected over large inland areas in Israel triggered an analysis of air mass back-trajectory, which pointed to the coastal Tel-Aviv metropolitan transportation system as the origin of the ozone's precursors. In order to link the transportation emissions to ozone formation, interdisciplinary modelling systems were utilised and integrated. The transportation-to-ozone formation ...

Why Air Quality Monitoring Matters

Air pollution causes premature deaths and has significant consequences on the global economy. This has been presented in several reports recently. Air pollution has emerged as the fourth-leading risk factor for deaths worldwide. The World Bank states that 1 in 10 deaths worldwide is caused by air pollution exposure. In the report The Cost of Air Pollution: Strengthening the Economic Case for ...

NO x emission model of turbofan engine

During last decade a lot of investigations also focused on the evaluation of aircraft engine impact on local and regional air quality in the vicinity of the airport. The emission inventory of aircraft engines are usually calculated on the basis of certificated emission indexes, which is provided by the engine manufacturer and reported in the database of ICAO. The certificated emission indices ...

Using a photochemical air quality model to evaluate emissions and simulate concentrations

The air-quality modelling system was conducted to evaluate emissions inventory and simulate air concentration over Thailand. The coupling model of the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS) and the models-3 Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) was applied to simulate the concentration distributions of gaseous pollutants (i.e., NOx, SO2 and CO) over the Central and Eastern regions of ...

Achieving Air Pollution Control With Catalytic Or Thermal Oxidizers

As the full effect of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments passed by Congress in 1990 continue to impact today's industry, many manufacturing operations have become subject to stricter local, State and Federal clean air regulations. Both VOC (volatile organic compound) and HAP (hazardous air pollutant) emissions are strictly regulated since they lead to the formation of ground level ozone ...

Technology development for environmental problems of the Southeastern United States

The southeast has extensive natural resources, and limited population and industrial development. However it is one of the most rapidly growing regions of the USA, which leads to urban sprawl, development of wetlands and readily eroded beaches. Environmental regulations are generally at the minimum federal standard. Non-point source pollution from urban and agricultural areas and sedimentation ...

Air pollution from ships

Untitled Document Introduction Emissions from shipping contribute significantly to the concentrations and fallout of harmful air pollutants in Europe. There are however technical means by which these pollutants could be cut by as much as 80-90 per cent, and very cost-effectively compared with what would have to be done to achieve similar results by taking ...
