The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of thes...

After pollutants from an incineration facility disperse into the air, some people close to the facility may be exposed directly through inhalation or indirectly through consumption of food or water contaminated by deposition of the pollutants from air to soil, vegetation, and water. For metals and other pollutants that are very persistent in the environment, the potential effects may extend wel...

The rapid urbanization in Delhi has resulted in a tremendous increase in the number of motor vehicles with the increase in population and urban mobilization. The vehicular traffic is now recognized as one of the main sources of air pollution in Delhi and has noticeable impact on air quality. The emission of criteria pollutants namely Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Particulate Ma...

Gaseous emissions from the fluidised bed co-combustion of 50% w/w chicken litter and peat were monitored and recorded. Emission data were used to create a dispersion model for a proposed site on a poultry farm in Ireland. Variables within the combustion unit influenced both combustion and emission levels of pollutants such as SO(2) and NO(x), CO. Concentrations of atmospheric pollutants decreas...

The following article contains information about modeling of pollutants dispersion systems in the atmosphere. It also describes main types of pollutants, emission points and analysis of typical atmosphere pollutant dispersion models. It shows a way of using computer cluster systems in modeling process and proper programming libraries for parallel computing. Finally it presents a possibility of ...

Emission inventories are an essential tool for evaluating, managing, and regulating air pollution. Refinements and innovations in instruments that measure air pollutants, models that calculate emissions, and techniques for data management and uncertainty assessment are needed to enhance emission inventories. This workshop provided recommendations for improving emission factors, improving emissi...

According to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, one of the essential requirements relating to occupational safety and health hazards is to prevent dust pollution emitted by machinery during the implementation processes. Research on evaluation of emissions from machinery, according to the method of test bench using tracer gases, are currently being conducted in CIOP-PIB. This article presents s...

The quality of emission factors is typically described using data quality ratings. Such ratings are qualitative and provide no indication of the precision of the emission factor for an average emission source, nor of the variability in emissions from one source to another within a category. Advances in methodology and computing power enable the application of a quantitative approach to characte...

air pollution is one of the most challengeable problems in the asalouyeh zone. in order to reduce the air pollutants emission and their effects it is necessary to recognize the amount and spatial dispersion of air pollutants. hence in this paper, evaporative losses of the stored liquids from 16 tanks of an oil company in asalouyeh zone, are determined using tanks 4.0.9d and then dispersion of v...

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of meteorological conditions on atmospheric pollutant concentrations in a complex area. In general serious pollution episodes in the urban and suburban environment are not directly caused by sudden increases in the emission of pollutants but results from unfavorable meteorological conditions, These unfavorable conditions may reduce the ability ...
