The air quality modeling community widely acknowledges that there are considerable uncertainties in the emission inventories used for modeling. Nonetheless, these uncertainties are typically ignored in air quality modeling applications. Three reasons for ignoring these uncertainties are (1) uncertainties in model inputs typically are not well quantified, (2) emissions and air quality modeling c...

Ammonia (NH 3 ) emission inventories are required for modelling atmospheric NH 3 transport and estimating downwind deposition. A recent inventory for UK agriculture, estimating emission as 197 kt NH 3 }N yr~1, was constructed using 1993 statistical and census data for the UK. This paper describes the derivation of the UK-based emission factors used in the calculation of that emission for a rang...

A better understanding of the discrepancies in multi-scale inventories could give an insight into their approaches and limitations as well as provide indications for further improvements; international, national, and plant-byplant data are primarily obtained to compile those inventories. In this study we develop a high-resolution inventory of Hg emissions at 0.05× 0.05 for Jiangsu, China, using...

Understanding the sources and quantities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is critical to developing an emissions inventory that accurately represents various oil and gas industry segment operations. To address this, the American Petroleum Institute (API) formed a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Methodology Working Group. The working group’s objectives were to review, summarize and recommend methodolo...

In this study, the relationship between repressive and defensive coping styles and somatovisceral responses as well as emotion self-reports were investigated in 2 situational contexts conceived to induce fear and anger. Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; L. Laux, P. Glanzmann, P. Schaffner, and C. D. Spielberger, 1981) x Defensiveness (Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale; D. P. Crowne...

Hypertension is one of the leading diseases cardiovascular system. It manifested by changes in arterial stiffness. Cardiovascular reactivity, especially blood pressure (BP), during cold pressor test (CPT) depending on various factors. Undoubtedly, stress most important The aim study to investigate effects CPT responses healthy young subjects. 56 individuals aged between 21 and 26 years have bee...

The uncertainties of a national, bottom-up inventory of Chinese emissions of anthropogenic SO2, NOx, and particulate matter (PM) of different size classes and carbonaceous species are comprehensively quantified, for the first time, using Monte Carlo simulation. The inventory is structured by seven dominant sectors: coal-fired electric power, cement, iron and steel, other industry (boiler combus...
