Abstract:

Atmospheric chemistry is an important discipline for understanding air pollution and its impacts. This mini-review gives a brief history of air pollution and presents an overview of some of the basic photochemistry involved in the production of ozone and other oxidants in the atmosphere. Urban air quality issues are reviewed with a specific focus on ozone and other oxidants, primary and secondary aerosols, alternative fuels, and the potential for chlorine releases to amplify oxidant chemistry in industrial areas. Regional air pollution issues such as acid rain, long-range transport of aerosols and visibility loss, and the connections of aerosols to ozone and peroxyacetyl nitrate chemistry are examined. Finally, the potential impacts of air pollutants on the global-scale radiative balances of gases and aerosols are discussed briefly.

Abstract:

Air pollution is one of the major problems caused by urban growth, and both industrial and automobile emissions have been the main causes of air quality deterioration in cities since the beginning of the 20th century. Atmospheric pollution is the largest single environmental risk for health, causing about 7 million human deaths per year. On a global scale, developing countries are major contributors to air pollution due to their rising economies, with rapid industrial and population growth combined with poor emission controls. In South America, there are five megacities (Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo) with over 10 million people potentially contributing to wide-ranging environmental consequences. Atmospheric particulate matter (APM) plays a leading role in the transport of trace metals and metalloids through the atmosphere and are chemical markers of air quality. The presence of these pollutants in APM has a detrimental effect on both air quality and human health. In this review, we provide an integrated assessment of hazardous metals and metalloids in the fine and coarse APM fractions, focusing on the South American megacities. We identified the current state of research for Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Pd, Pt, Rh, Sb, Sn, V, and Zn and summarized the findings in the 21st century. The findings of this review highlight that despite the phasing out of leaded gasoline, Pb continues to be a metal pollutant with one of the highest atmospheric emission rates, mainly due to vehicular pollution. The megacities from Brazil and Argentina were, by far, those with the highest number of studies performed; however, updated research is needed for the five megacities, including specific studies on fine and ultrafine particulate matter fractions as these pose serious human health issues. Urban agglomerations denoted sustained increases of most metals over time that is indicative of deteriorating air quality. Nickel and Cd concentrations in megacities from Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, as well as Pb in one study from Colombia, were found to have exceeded international air quality guidelines.

Abstract:

located in the west of Sichuan Basin and composed of Chengdu City, Mianyang City, Deyang City, Ziyang City, and Meishan City, Chengdu urban agglomeration is an area where industry, population and motor vehicles are densely distributed. Therefore, there are acute conflicts between the economic development and atmospheric environmental protection. On one hand, lots of pollutants emitted by industry and motor vehicles enter the atmosphere and adversely affect the environmental air quality. On the other hand, the dense population needs good air quality. Since the current environmental air quality standards cannot fully protect human health and ecological balance, in the calculation of the atmospheric environmental capacity for urban agglomerations, in addition to pollution control investment and environmental quality up to standards, the pollution hazard losses should also be considered. In the present paper, according to the specific conditions of Chengdu urban agglomeration, a multi-source mode and dual-objective optimized atmospheric environmental capacity model was developed with the minimum pollution control investment and pollution hazard losses serving as the objective function and the environmental air quality up to standard serving as the constraint. The Sulfur Dioxide atmospheric environmental capacity of Chengdu urban agglomeration was calculated by using this model so as to provide basic data for the total capacity control of Chengdu urban agglomeration.

Abstract:

Abstract. Air pollution is substantially modulated by meteorological conditions, and especially their diurnal variations may play a key role in air quality evolution. However, the behaviors of temperature diurnal cycles along with the associated atmospheric condition and their effects on air quality in China remain poorly understood. Here, for the first time, we examine the diurnal cycles of day-to-day temperature change and reveal their impacts on winter air quality forecasting in mountain-basin areas. Three different diurnal cycles of the preceding day-to-day temperature change are identified and exhibit notably distinct effects on the day-to-day changes in atmospheric-dispersion conditions and air quality. The diurnal cycle with increasing temperature obviously enhances the atmospheric stability in the lower troposphere and suppresses the development of the planetary boundary layer, thus deteriorating the air quality on the following day. By contrast, the diurnal cycle with decreasing temperature in the morning is accompanied by a worse dispersion condition with more stable atmosphere stratification and weaker surface wind speed, thereby substantially worsening the air quality. Conversely, the diurnal cycle with decreasing temperature in the afternoon seems to improve air quality on the following day by enhancing the atmospheric-dispersion conditions on the following day. The findings reported here are critical to improve the understanding of air pollution in mountain-basin areas and exhibit promising potential for air quality forecasting.

Abstract:

Even before the 1990 war the populations of some areas of Kuwait was subject to severe atmospheric pollution. However, little was known about the effect of this pollution on health and on the use of health care. Three areas in Kuwait were chosen for study which were demographically similar and lay at a different distances to the north (i.e. usually downwind) of the industrial area. Plant in this area emits hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and carbon monoxide among other pollutants. A special survey was carried out to gather information on demographic, health and lifestyle factors including age, sex, place of residence, smoking, physical symptoms, psychological effects, life satisfaction, environmental problems, experience of air pollution and use of health care. A random sample of 136 households (1140 persons) was chosen from the three areas and studied over the period from lst February 1988 to 31st January 1989. Data on levels of pollution concentrations and meteorological conditions were also collected over the same period for each area studied. Data on use of health care were available from the health centres in the three areas studied and also from the population survey. The demographic similarity of the three areas studied was generally confirmed by the data from population survey. The relationships involved were examined for different age groups using cross tabulation, time series analysis and regression analysis. There were clear gradients with increased distance from the industrial area in levels of pollution, levels of selfreported physical and psychological symptoms and in the use of health care. Of the individual pollutants it appeared that carbon monoxide levels were most closely correlated with levels of symptoms. For those aged less than 18, the link to CO was closest for respiratory symptoms, while for those aged 18 to 64 the link was with headache. The use of primary care is more closely linked to H2S although this relationship is relatively weak. Consider the relationship between levels of pollution in the three areas studied and Kuwait City and the levels of pollution in Shuaiba area taking meteorological conditions into account. The purpose of this was to allow for estimates of the effect of pollution reduction in Shuaiba on the health of population elsewhere in the country. However, no way was and of making such estimates with sufficient prison. This analysis confirmed a number of recommendations that have been made by others.

Abstract:

Atmospheric pollution causes large impacts on human health and societal economic interests and it is a threat for the ecosystems and the climate of the Earth. Improving the understanding of pollution dynamics is necessary to desing efficient air quality strategies that reduce the impacts of air pollution. This Ph.D. Thesis identifies the typical atmospheric conditions at synoptic scale that affect the Iberian Peninsula (IP) and uses them to explain the dynamics of the most relevant gaseous pollutants in Spain (nitrogen dioxide NO2, sulphur dioxide SO2, and ozone O3) by means of air quality modelling. Circulation type classifications (CTC) summarise the continuum of atmospheric circulation into a discrete number of typical circulation types (CTs). For the 1983-2012 climatic period, a CTC is derived to be useful in the characterization of air quality dynamics over the IP. Sensitivity tests to classification techniques (principal components, correlation analysis, clustering) and other factors affecting the CTC (temporal and spatial resolution, domain size, etc.) are performed to objectivize the choice of the automatic set-up that maximizes its quality. The six identified CTs -described in terms of frequency, persistence, transitions, and location of pressure systems- are consistent with CTs found in the literature. The temporal stability of the CTC, evaluated following a cross-validation process that compares the results of the climatic and yearly CTs, leads to the identification of a representative year (2012). A representative day for each CT in 2012 is identified using an objective score that minimizes the differences of the daily and the average surface pressure CT grid. The study of NO2, SO2, and O3 dynamics performed on the representative day of each CT focuses on the biggest Spanish urban areas (Madrid and Barcelona) and heavy industrial/electricity-generation areas such as Asturias (northern Spain) and the Algeciras bay (southern Spain). The state-of-the-art CALIOPE Air Quality Forecast System (CALIOPE-AQFS) that provides high-resolution data on emissions, meteorology, and pollutant concentration over Spain is the main tool used in the characterisation of pollution dynamics. The modelling system is also used to quantify the contribution of specific sources of pollutants -coal-fired power plants and on-road transport- by means of a brute-force approach and an emission-based source apportionment, respectively. The CTs control the transport patterns of SO2/NO2/O3 in Spanish continental and Atlantic areas, whereas in Mediterranean coastal areas and over complex-terrains a combination of synoptic and mesoscale dynamics (sea-land and mountain-valley breezes) explains the pollutant concentration patterns. The power plants' contribution to surface concentration (up to 55 µgSO2 m-3 and 32 µgNO2 m-3) occurs mainly close to the source (< 20 km) related to vertical diffusion when the emission is injected within the planetary boundary layer. However, the SO2/NO2 plumes can reach distances higher than 250 km. The daily maximum O3 concentration attributed to the on-road transport emissions from Madrid and Barcelona contribute up to 24% and 8% to total O3 concentration, respectively, but it is particularly significant (up to 80-100 µg m-3 in an hour) to the O3 concentration peak during the central hours of the day in April-September. The long-range transport of O3 to the IP is controlled by the CTs and its concentration is very significant in the area of influence of Madrid and Barcelona, particularly under cold CTs (70-96%). This Ph.D. Thesis has proven that CALIOPE-AQFS (1) is useful to characterise the 3-D dynamics of primary and secondary pollutants in Spain under typical CTs; (2) is able to attribute and quantify air pollution to its sources via brute force and source apportionment; and (3) has the potential to help in the design of specific, science-based abatement strategies that minimize air pollution impacts.
La contaminación atmosférica genera perjuicios en la salud humana, en los intereses económicos de la sociedad y constituye una amenaza para los ecosistemas y el clima de la Tierra. Avanzar en la comprensión de la dinámica de la contaminación facilita el diseño de estrategias de calidad del aire que reduzcan sus impactos. Esta Tesis Doctoral identifica objetivamente patrones típicos de circulación atmosférica (PT) que afectan a la Península Ibérica (PI) a escala sinóptica para explicar la dinámica de los principales contaminantes gaseosos en España (dióxido de nitrógeno NO2, dióxido de azufre SO2 y ozono O3) mediante modelización de la calidad del aire. Las clasificaciones sinópticas (CS) discretizan el continuo de la circulación atmosférica en un catálogo de PT. Para el período climático 1983-2012, se establece una CS útil para el estudio de la dinámica de la contaminación atmosférica en la PI. Tests de sensibilidad para técnicas automáticas de clasificación (análisis de componentes principales, de correlación y clustering) y para otros factores que afectan a la CS (resolución temporal y espacial, tamaño del dominio, etc.) objetivizan la elección de la configuración que maximiza su calidad. Los seis PT identificados - descritos en términos de frecuencia, persistencia, transiciones y ubicación de los sistemas de presión - son consistentes con la literatura. La evaluación de la estabilidad temporal de la clasificación, mediante un proceso de validación cruzada que compara los PT climáticos con PT identificados en CS anuales, permite identificar un año representativo (2012). Un día representativo de cada PT es elegido gracias a un algoritmo que minimiza las diferencias de la malla de presiones diaria respecto de la del PT promedio. El estudio de la dinámica de NO2, SO2 y O3 se realiza en el día representativo de cada PT focalizando en las principales áreas urbanas de España (Madrid y Barcelona) y en importantes áreas industriales y/o de generación eléctrica (Asturias, bahía de Algeciras). El sistema de CALIdad del aire OPeracional para España (CALIOPE) que proporciona datos de alta resolución sobre emisiones, meteorología y concentración de contaminantes es la principal herramienta utilizada en el estudio. CALIOPE permite cuantificar la contribución de determinadas fuentes de emisión, centrales térmicas de carbón y transporte rodado, mediante un enfoque de fuerza bruta y de asignación de fuentes, respectivamente. Los PT controlan el transporte de SO2/NO2/O3 en áreas atlánticas y continentales de España mientras que en zonas costeras mediterráneas y/o de topografía compleja, una combinación de procesos sinópticos y de mesoescala (brisas marinas y de valle) explica los patrones de contaminación. La contribución de SO2 y NO2 de las centrales térmicas a la concentración en superficie (hasta 55 µg m-3 y 32 µg m-3, respectivamente) se produce principalmente cerca de la fuente (<20 km) por difusión vertical de la emisión cuando ésta se inyecta en la capa límite planetaria. Sin embargo, los penachos de SO2/NO2 pueden alcanzar distancias superiores a los 250 km. La contribución máxima diaria de O3 atribuido a emisiones del transporte rodado de Madrid y Barcelona alcanza el 24% y el 8%, respectivamente pero es particularmente significativa (hasta 80-100 µg m-3 en una hora) a mediodía durante el pico de concentración de O3. El transporte a larga distancia de O3 hacia la PI es controlado por los PT y su contribución es muy importante en el área de influencia de Madrid y Barcelona, en particular bajo los PT fríos (70-96%). Esta Tesis Doctoral ha demostrado que CALIOPE es (1) útil para caracterizar la dinámica 3-D de contaminantes primarios y secundarios en España bajo diferentes PT; (2) capaz de atribuir y cuantificar la contaminación a sus fuentes a través de fuerza bruta y atribución de fuentes; y (3) potencialmente útil en el diseño de estrategias de mitigación específicas que minimicen los impactos de la contaminación atmosférica.

Abstract:

Air quality monitoring is one of several important tasks carried out in the area of environmental science and engineering. Accordingly, the development of air quality predictive models can be very useful as such models can provide early warnings of pollution levels increasing to unsatisfactory levels. The literature review conducted within the research context of this thesis revealed that only a limited number of widely used machine learning algorithms have been employed for the modelling of the concentrations of atmospheric gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides etc. Despite this observation the research and technology area of machine learning has recently advanced significantly with the introduction of ensemble learning techniques, convolutional and deep neural networks etc. Given these observations the research presented in this thesis aims to investigate the effective use of ensemble learning algorithms with optimised algorithmic settings and the appropriate choice of base layer algorithms to create effective and efficient models for the prediction and forecasting of specifically, ground level ozone (O3). Three main research contributions have been made by this thesis in the application area of modelling O3 concentrations. As the first contribution, the performance of several ensemble learning (Homogeneous and Heterogonous) algorithms were investigated and compared with all popular and widely used single base learning algorithms. The results have showed impressive prediction performance improvement obtainable by using meta learning (Bagging, Stacking, and Voting) algorithms. The performances of the three investigated meta learning algorithms were similar in nature giving an average 0.91 correlation coefficient, in prediction accuracy. Thus as a second contribution, the effective use of feature selection and parameter based optimisation was carried out in conjunction with the application of Multilayer Perceptron, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest and Bagging based learning techniques providing significant improvements in prediction accuracy. The third contribution of research presented in this thesis includes the univariate and multivariate forecasting of ozone concentrations based of optimised Ensemble Learning algorithms. The results reported supersedes the accuracy levels reported in forecasting Ozone concentration variations based on widely used, single base learning algorithms. In summary the research conducted within this thesis bridges an existing research gap in big data analytics related to environment pollution modelling, prediction and forecasting where present research is largely limited to using standard learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines often available within popular commercial software packages.

Abstract:

Nowadays there is a tendency towards increasing of anthropogenic pollution in the atmospheric air in the large cities. Therefore, important measures have to be taken for the improvement of the atmospheric environment. In order to optimize the quality of air in the city and reduce emissions from stationary and mobile sources, it is important to predict of the state of the atmospheric air of the city, which is based on the analysis of the characteristics of adverse weather conditions conducive to the accumulation of harmful impurity in a lower (ground) layer of air. The paper identifies and analyzes the conditions in the Cherkassy city (Ukraine) for the period of 2011–2015, provides correlation and regression analysis of air pollution index with adverse weather conditions (the multiple correlation coefficient R = 0.55–0.87). The current research shows that the maximum number of days with adverse weather conditions is in autumn (77.20±4,96) and the lowest number is in spring (58.60±4.40), the greatest number of days matching several adverse weather conditions were found in January and October (4.80±0.20 and 4.60±0.24, respectively). Recommendations to reduce the content of harmful impurities in the atmospheric air of the city are suggested.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective/Scope One of the main concerns of Oil & Gas Plants and associated Buildings is how to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and tackling viruses. IAQ can be affected, or may become under high risk by some of nearby gases, microbial contaminates or energy stressor that affect the HSE condition. This paper presents the main factors that been considered to provide practical solutions to achieve high IAQ and tackling viruses (such as COVID-19). Methods, Procedures, Process IAQ refers to the air quality within and around the plants/buildings. IAQ can usually be affected, or may become under high risk by nearby gases, particulates, microbial contaminates or any mass that affect 100% HSE. Inadequate air quality in building will increase the risk and impact on transferring viruses to people (such as COVID and Flue) and equipment performance (such as equipment failure, components corrosion and short circuits on control board). Survey and data was recorded to evaluate air quality performance in atmosphere instead of assuming it. Accordingly, the impact of inadequate IAQ was studied and evaluated. Results, Observations & Conclusions The international standard set a good IAQ in respect of gas concentration and human who works inside buildings in a way that less than 50% people should not detect any odor, 25% should not experience discomfort, 10% should not suffer from mucosal irritation and 5% should not experience annoyance. Study concluded that inadequate IAQ inside the building will affect people performance/health and installed equipment performance. In addition, improper HVAC system operation will be become breeding site for odor causing mold and bacteria, specifically on cooling coil. Hence, several technics were studied to improve IAQ, by installing Ultraviolet (UV) light to stop growing bacterial inside the HVAC system, installing chemical filter in air intakes to remove atmospheric dust, gases and bacteria by 100%, upgrading filtration efficiency to MERV-13 or highest achievable to capture at least 75 – 95% of airborne particles between 0.3 and 1.0 micron, increase outdoor air ventilation and temperature/humidity control. The performance of HVAC system and quality of air inside building were monitored by simulating IAQ based on ISO 16890, filters life cycle, energy consumption, and the results were found 100% satisfactory and provided solutions that are now successfully implemented in all new and some of the existing buildings. Novel/Additive Information There are several buildings with similar issues and these approach/technics now being adopted in new constructed/existing buildings to protect human and asset integrity, which will support ADNOC Way by sustaining safe environment operation, lower health risk, reduce of equipment failure, reduce maintenance cost and 100% HSE. There are numbers of occupied buildings across the world were surrounded by aggressive gases/pollution with poor IAQ and above approaches it can be followed to realize larger benefits.

Abstract:

The Mexican environmental authority requires that thermal power plants operate 3 or 4 air quality monitoring stations around its main stack to ensure that pollutant concentration levels are always below the maximum allowable. However the high cost of these stations and the cost of their maintenance have made this regulation economically unreasonable. It has been proposed to reduce the number of monitoring stations to one and substitute the other stations by an accurate atmospheric dispersion model that allows the permanent surveillance of the surface pollutant concentration levels around the thermoelectric power plants. CALPUFF, an advanced air pollution dispersion modeling system was implemented for the special case of the Mexican thermal power plants. Experimental work was conducted to verify the correct implementation of the model. This paper describes the main results obtained during the development of this work.

Abstract:

The atmospheric pollution alerts to the need to promote thedevelopment of air quality monitoring systems. Equipment withlow implementation cost and energy consumption are highlightedfor highly scalable applications. The datasets generated by thesensors feed machine learning algorithms for the weatherconditions analysis in urban centers. However, sensor technologyused in these systems tends to be less accurate than complexequipment, resulting in a strong correlation between the collecteddata and the climatic elements variation. This paper studies theinfluence of temperature and relative humidity in low cost airquality monitoring systems. This knowledge can generate newapproaches to the monitored metrics conditioning and increasethe robustness of the low cost systems.

Abstract:

This rapid literature review explores the interactions between climate change and air pollution, with a focus on human health impacts. In particular, the report explores potential synergies in tackling climate change and air pollution together. The impacts and implications of the transition from a carbon-intensive economy upon air quality and consequently human health are examined. Discussing climate change without air pollution can lead to risks. For example, strategies that focus on electrification and transition to renewable energy achieve maximum health and air quality benefits compared to strategies that focus mainly on combustible renewable fuels (biofuel and biomass) with some electrification. Addressing climate change necessitates a shift towards a new low carbon era. This involves stringent and innovative changes in behaviour, technology, and policy. There are distinct benefits of considering climate change and air pollution together. Many of the processes that cause climate change also cause air pollution, and hence reductions in these processes will generate cleaner air and less global warming. Politically, the consideration of the two issues in tandem can be beneficial because of the time-inconsistency problems of climate change. Air pollution improvements can offer politicians victories, on a useful timescale, to help in their aims of reversing climate change. By coupling air pollution and air pollution agendas together, it will increase the media and political attention both environmental causes receive. Policies should involve the integration of climate change, air quality, and health benefits to create win-win situations. The success of the strategies requires financial and technical capacity building, commitment, transparency, and multidisciplinary collaboration, including governance stakeholders at multiple levels, in both a top-down and bottom-up manner.

Abstract:

Male, younger, and higher-income respondents as well as those who perceived high pollution in recent days showed greater willingness to pay for SMS air quality alerts. Willingness to pay was uncorrelated with actual recent high pollution. Recipients of SMS alerts indicated having received air pollution information via SMS, along with reporting a high-pollution day in the past week and having stayed indoors on the most recent day they perceived pollution to be high. However, alert recipients were not more accurate in identifying which specific days had high pollution than other respondents. Households that received a free N95 mask were more likely to report utilizing a mask with a filter during the past two weeks but not more likely to report using a mask with a filter on the specific days with high particulate matter.

Abstract:

Air pollution is one of the primary causes of premature death worldwide. This paper examines the cost-effectiveness of two different air quality information programs that were implemented as part of randomized control trials. In the case of the SMS air quality alerts in Mexico City, we find that the program was not cost-effective in the experimental sample, but it would likely be cost-effective if the program were extended to all of Mexico City. In the case of real-time feedback on wood stove emissions in Valdivia, we find that the program was cost-effective in both the experimental sample and at scale.

Abstract:

This rapid literature review collates available evidence on the causes and consequences of air pollution in the Republic of North Macedonia (here after North Macedonia). It draws on a diverse range of sources from multiple academic disciplines and grey literature. The literature highlights that North Macedonia is considered to have some of the worst air quality in the West Balkans, and consequently some of the worst globally. Air pollution is a significant problem in North Macedonian cities and urban centres with exposure to high levels of particulate matter (PM) a particular issue. The PM2.5 size fraction is the focus of many air pollution studies because it is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes, it is also the focus of this review. This review identifies a limited but expanding evidence base discussing air pollution in North Macedonia. Studies are principally focussed on the capital city (Skopje) and ambient (outdoor) air pollution. There is a limited literature that discusses air quality issues outside of the capital and a dearth of evidence on household (indoor) air pollution.

Abstract:

Environmental policies are characterized by salient short-term costs and long-term benefits that are difficult to observe and to attribute to the government's efforts. These characteristics imply that citizens' support for environmental policies is highly dependent on their trust in the government's capability to implement solutions and commitment to investments in those policies. Using novel survey data from Mexico City, we show that trust in the government is positively correlated with citizens' willingness to support an additional tax approximately equal to a days minimum wage to improve air quality and greater preference for government retention of revenues from fees collected from polluting firms. We find similar correlations using the perceived quality of public goods as a measure of government competence. These results provide evidence that mistrust can be an obstacle to better environmental outcomes.
