The Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and Reactivity Project (ICHEAR): Methods

Dusan Licina

Here we present the new project “Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and Reactivity” (ICHEAR), which is focused on examining the role of human emissions on indoor air chemistry. The specific goal of this project is to investigate the impact of exhaled and derm ...

The emission benefits of European integration

Vincent Moreau, Luis Costa

Simulating the implications of Brexit on the UK's emissions embodied in trade with a multi-region input-output table exposes the benefits of European integration. Under 2014 trade volumes, technologies and energy mixes, a hard Brexit-reverting to a trade p ...

Linked Response of Aerosol Acidity and Ammonia to SO2 and NOx Emissions Reductions in the United States

Athanasios Nenes

Large reductions of sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions in the United States have led to considerable improvements in air quality, though recent analyses in the Southeastern United States have shown little response of aerosol pH to these reductions. This s ...

Alternative Methods for Assessing Air Quality and Energy Strategies for Developing Countries: A Case Study on Cuba

Jessie Madrazo Bacallao

The worldwide increasing energy consumption is mainly based on fossil fuel which leads to a large number of environmental problems. Indeed, the combustion of fossil fuels releases into the atmosphere different greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants which ...

Understanding nitrate formation in a world with less sulfate

Athanasios Nenes

SO2 emission controls, combined with modestly increasing ammonia, have been thought to generate aerosol with significantly reduced acidity for cases in which sulfate is partially substituted by nitrate. However, neither expectation agrees with decadal o ...

Simulating Biogenic Secondary Organic Aerosol During Summertime in China

Athanasios Nenes, Mengmeng Li

Biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) contributes significantly to summertime organic particulate matter. In this study, a simulation of BSOA for summer 2012 over China is performed using the Community Multiscale Air Quality model with an explicit repr ...

Long-term monitoring of black carbon across Germany

Julia Schmale

Lately, black carbon (BC) has received significant attention due to its climate-warming properties and adverse health effects. Nevertheless, long-term observations in urban areas are scarce, most likely because BC monitoring is not required by environmenta ...

2018

Methane (CH4) emissions from small rivers and streams, particularly via ebullition, are currently under-represented in the literature. Here, we quantify the methane effluxes and drivers in a small, Northern European river. Methane fluxes are comparable to ...

Instrumentation and measurement strategy for the NOAA SENEX aircraft campaign as part of the Southeast Atmosphere Study 2013

Athanasios Nenes, André Welti

Natural emissions of ozone-and-aerosol-precursor gases such as isoprene and monoterpenes are high in the southeastern US. In addition, anthropogenic emissions are significant in the southeastern US and summertime photochemistry is rapid. The NOAA-led SENEX ...
