The UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory
The task Air emission inventories are an essential management tool enabling UK Government to: • Develop national policy. • Implement sound planning and regulatory measures. • Track and fulfil its European and international emission targets. AEA Energy & Environment* has led and developed the UK’s National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) since it was ...

Use and validation of ADMS-Urban in contrasting urban and industrial locations
ADMS-Urban has been used in approximately half of the pilot studies of air pollution recently carried out in the UK. The pilot areas varied in spatial extent and in the nature of the sources, the balance between traffic, industrial and domestic sources, and the pollutants which are important. The studies used local emission inventories, and outputs included time-series of predicted concentrations ...

European Union emission inventory report 1990–2014 under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP)
This document is the annual European Union (EU) emission inventory report to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP). The report and its accompanying data constitute the official submission by the European Commission (EC) on behalf of the EU as a Party to the Executive Secretary of UNECE. The report is compiled by the ...

Modelling of air pollution in the area of Algiers City, Algeria
Algiers is the political and economic capital of Algeria. The city drains a large part of the activities of the country with intense road traffic. This road traffic is the main source of air pollution, followed by industry and waste combustion. An application of the new road traffic emission model, called EMISENS, is performed to build road traffic emission inventories for the Algiers region. ...

How to prepare for CRC reporting
2009 is the year for review and the establishment of standards. A comprehensive view of emissions inventory must be in place to act as baselines for future reporting. 2009 will be a key year for thousands of businesses within the UK as they prepare for participation in the Carbon Reduction Commitment scheme initiated by the British government. Many boardroom members have translated their initial ...

Annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory 1990-2002
This report is the annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory presenting the European Community air pollution data from the years 1990 to 2002. The report only covers the EU Member States before 1 May 2004 (EU15) because the formal reporting deadline to the LRTAP Convention was 15 February 2004. Due to data gaps, European totals were estimated for NOx, CO, NMVOCs, SOx and NH3 only. The ...

Modeling global emissions and residues of pesticides
A major portion of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), in which carbon and chlorine are combined. During the last decade, a number of researches have been devoted to create emission inventories of OCPs at regional and global scales. The studies on residue inventories of OCPs, however, are sparse. In the absence of complete data and information on worldwide ...

Real-world and type-approval emission evolution of passenger cars
The investigation of several passenger car generations with gasoline engines shows that the emissions depend very strongly on the driving cycle. Official type approval cycles allow just very inaccurate predications about their real-world emissions. The measured gasoline vehicles have up to factor 11 higher real-life emissions than in type approval cycles. However, a clear reduction of real-world ...

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 ...

The Air Quality Management Decision Support System (AQMDSS) for Beijing, People's Republic of China
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has been experiencing rapid economic and industrial growth with associated increased air pollution. Government officials strive to improve air quality while maintaining growth. Implemented control measures have not achieved air quality goals; therefore, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau turned to air quality models to help identify sources ...

Use and Validation of ADMS-Urban in contrasting Urban and Industrial Locations
Throughout Europe there is increasing activity to assess and improve air quality in urban areas. In the UK this has beendriven by a National Air Quality Strategy which requires local government authorities e.g. towns and districts, tomanage air quality in their areas, with the aim of achieving the objectives laid out in Table 1. As the first step towardsimplementing the strategy, 14 authorities ...

Inter-comparison of two air quality modelling systems for a case study in Berlin
A case study was carried out to compare two air-quality models (UAM-V and MCCM) in the region of Berlin. These are two well documented regional and urban models which were run independently with their own meteorological drivers and emission inventories with the aim to describe a specific ozone episode. Numerous applications in the US and in Europe have shown the good performance of these models. ...

PRTRval: a software tool for the validation of E-PRTR emissions data
The European pollutant release and transfer register (E-PRTR) is the Europe-wide emissions register that provides accessible environmental information about industrial facilities. Reporting of E-PRTR data to the European Commission requires that the member states assess the quality of their data. The errors and omissions in these data should be detected during the review process and corrected, ...

EMEP Eulerian model for acid deposition over Europe
A 3-D Eulerian acid deposition model has been developed at MSC-W. The model has approximately 50 km horizontal resolution with 20 vertical layers, of which 10 are below 2 km. Meteorological input, from a dedicated weather prediction model, is updated at six-hour intervals. Emission inventories for SO2, NOx (NO + NO2) and NH3, reported officially by individual countries, are used as input data. A ...

Inventory of US greenhouse gas emissions and sinks: 1990 – 2006
An emissions inventory that identifies and quantifies a country's primary anthropogenic sources and sinks of greenhouse gases is essential for addressing climate change. This inventory adheres to both 1) a comprehensive and detailed set of methodologies for estimating sources and sinks of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, and 2) a common and consistent mechanism that enables Parties to the United ...

Annual simulation of secondary pollution over northern Italy
A secondary pollution modelling system for simulating airborne dispersion and chemical reactions is applied over a regional scale domain located in the North-West of Italy, where urban and industrial areas are present. It was found an overestimation of NO2 in the urban areas, probably due to an underestimation of the vertical diffusivity; the analysis of OX confirms that the discrepancies in O3 ...

Building the National Emissions Inventory: Challenges and Plans for Improvement
Next time you drive past a petroleum refinery, an automobile manufacturing plant, or any large industrial facility, take a look at all the stacks, pipes, and vents. Imagine how difficult it must be to quantify all of the air pollutants released by that facility. Each facility typically contains a diverse set of processes that emit different pollutants at different rates that must each be ...
