[1] Measurements of gaseous nitrogen and sulfur oxide emissions in young aircraft exhaust plumes give insight into chemical oxidation processes inside aircraft engines. Particularly, the OH‐induced formation of nitrous acid (HONO) from nitrogen oxide (NO) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) from sulfur dioxide (SO2) inside the turbine which is highly uncertain, need detailed analysis to address the clima...

A key question in developing effective mitigation strategies for ozone and particulate matter is identifying which source regions contribute to concentrations in receptor regions. Using a direct approach with a regional, multiscale three-dimensional model, we derive multiple sourcereceptor matrices (S-Rs) to show interand intrastate impacts of emissions on both ozone and PM2.5 over the eastern ...

Co-combustion of biosolids with coal or other biomass fuel can play a significant role in combustion facilities for energy production and waste management policy context. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the use of biosolids for co-combustion with wood pellets in a wood pellet stove. Fuel property, gas emissions and stove efficiency are compared. In regard...

In order to investigate the factual air pollutant emissions from Henan’s power sector in 2010, SO2, NOx and PM emissions from 24 generating sets from 15 coal-fired power plants have been measured. It is shown that SO2 emission values from 22 of 24 generating sets conform to the requirements, which is causing by the high performance of the flue gas desulfurization system. Much higher NOx emissio...

For years economists have urged policymakers to use market-based approaches such as cap-and-trade programs or emission taxes to control pollution. The SO2 allowance market created by Title IV of the 1990 U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments represents the first real test of the wisdom of economists’ advice. Subsequent urban and regional applications of NOx emission allowance trading took shape in the ...

The pilot-scale NOx and SOx simultaneous removal from boiler emission was performed using radical injection and chemical hybrid process. The radical injection is often called as indirect plasma (or remote plasma) and air radicals are produced at room temperature with less than 1/10 of the flue gas flow rate. The flue gas from the boiler was in the range of 450~1,470 Nm/hr, the gas temperature o...

The emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2, also SO3) and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2, called NOX) from burning fossil fuel, especially coal which is used to produce energy (electricity and heat) is one of the most important sources of environmental and air pollution. These pollutants are known as "acid gases" causing acid rain and also "indirect greenhouse gases" contributing greenhouse effect. Acid rai...

We estimated PM2.5-related public health impacts/ton emitted of primary PM2.5, SO2, and NOx for a set of power plants in the Mid-Atlantic and Lower Great Lakes regions of the United States, selected to include varying emission profiles and broad geographic representation. We then developed a regression model explaining variability in impacts per ton emitted using the population distributions ar...

This paper discusses the importance of background concentrations of NH3, SO2 and NOx for the estimation of environmental external costs of secondary particulates. A modified version of the ECOSENSE software was developed within the ongoing series of European ExternE projects, devoted to the assessment of energy related environmental external costs. Using the Windrose Trajectory Model the yearly...

This study explores the relationship between happiness and air pollution in Britain using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). The effects of air pollution on individuals’ happiness are estimated and their monetary value is calculated. In particular, three air pollutants are examined in this paper; the sulphur dioxide (SO2), the ground-level ozone (O3) and the nitrogen dioxides ...
