Scooters are a popular means of transportation in urban areas. However, studies examining their spatial and temporal features are lacking. This study examined traffic patterns in New Taipei City from September 2021 to June 2023 using real-time surveillance camera images and the YOLOv4 algorithm. The focus of the study was to investigate the role of scooters in urban transportation and their effect on air quality. The findings revealed that sedans and scooters accounted for approximately 90% of the total vehicles, and their usage exhibited significant spatial and temporal variations across the city. Sedans were more prevalent in rural areas, whereas scooters were predominant in urban and suburban regions. An examination of diurnal patterns revealed that peak traffic occurred during early morning and evening rush hours, with distinct usage patterns between weekdays and weekends. Through hierarchical clustering, the city's stations were categorized into three types based on the dominant vehicle usage: sedan-dominant, sedan-prevailing, and scooter-dominant. The analysis also established a correlation between the number of vehicles and air pollution, highlighting the significant role of sedans and scooters as primary sources of emissions, particularly in areas where scooters were dominant. This suggests that the current emission inventories may underestimate the impact of scooters and buses on air quality while overestimating the trucks' contribution. Consequently, this study emphasizes the significance of scooters in determining urban air quality and advocates for improved monitoring and image identification technologies to accurately assess the numbers and speeds of scooters. These measures are essential for improving the accuracy of emissions inventories and forecasts, which are crucial for effective urban air quality management.

在城市地区,摩托车是一种很受欢迎的交通工具。然而,对其空间和时间特征的研究却很缺乏。本研究利用实时监控摄像头图像和 YOLOv4 算法,研究了 2021 年 9 月至 2023 年 6 月期间新北市的交通模式。研究的重点是调查滑板车在城市交通中的作用及其对空气质量的影响。研究结果表明,轿车和滑板车约占车辆总数的 90%,其使用情况在整个城市呈现出明显的时空差异。轿车在农村地区更为普遍,而滑板车则在城市和郊区占主导地位。对昼夜模式的研究表明,交通高峰出现在清晨和傍晚的高峰时段,工作日和周末的使用模式截然不同。通过分层聚类,根据主要车辆使用情况将城市车站分为三种类型:轿车主导型、轿车优先型和滑板车主导型。分析还确定了车辆数量与空气污染之间的相关性,突出了轿车和踏板车作为主要排放源的重要作用,尤其是在踏板车占主导地位的地区。这表明,目前的排放清单可能低估了小型摩托车和公共汽车对空气质量的影响,而高估了卡车的贡献。因此,本研究强调了小型摩托车在决定城市空气质量方面的重要性,并主张改进监测和图像识别技术,以准确评估小型摩托车的数量和速度。这些措施对于提高排放清单和预测的准确性至关重要,而排放清单和预测对于有效的城市空气质量管理至关重要。

Using in situ measurements of δ13C in methane to investigate methane emissions from the western Canada sedimentary basin 利用甲烷中的δ13C 原位测量数据调查加拿大西部沉积盆地的甲烷排放情况

During COP26, Canada joined the Global Methane Pledge aiming to reduce global methane (CH4) emissions by 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. Rapid reduction of anthropogenic CH4 emissions in the atmosphere is considered one of the most effective strategies to slow global warming in concert with carbon dioxide mitigation measures. In Canada, a large part of anthropogenic CH4 emissions can be attributed to the oil and gas industry in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB), which is the fourth largest reserve of fossil fuel in the world. Recent studies highlighted big discrepancies between CH4 emissions reported in Canada's National Inventory and emissions estimated with approaches using atmospheric measurements for the oil and gas sector. Measuring the isotopic signature of CH413CH4) at different atmospheric monitoring stations and comparing these measurements to detailed archives of δ13CH4 from oil and gas wells and associated CH4 leaks in the WCSB could help better characterize the emissions from different CH4 sources over the region. In this study, we compare two independent sets of data: (1) thousands of δ13CH4 of samples from oil and gas production wells and their associated leaks (surface casing vents and ground migration) collected across the WCSB, and (2) atmospheric mixing ratios of CH4 and their δ13CH4 measured successively at three locations across this region between 2016 and 2020 combined with their atmospheric footprints modeled with HYSPLIT-STILT. We observed a gradient in the isotopic signatures of the oil and gas samples within the WCSB with δ13CH4 being more depleted in the Southeast than in the Northwest. The analysis of these samples showed that the isotopic signature of CH4 emitted by the production of fossil fuel depends on the geological formations from which it is extracted. Also, CH4 isotopic signatures vary more depending on the region where CH4 comes from than on the type of fossil fuel extracted (natural gas, oil, heavy oil, shale gas). The atmospheric measurements showed a strong seasonality of δ13CH4 at one of the atmospheric monitoring sites with isotopic signatures associated with thermogenic sources in winter and isotopic signatures associated with a mix of biogenic and thermogenic sources in summer. Using the δ13CH4 archive database from oil and gas samples, we estimated that 28–39 % of the CH4 emitted near this site in summer was coming from a biogenic source (most likely wetlands). Ultimately, atmospheric measurements collected during winter combined with their associated HYSPLIT-STILT footprints presented a spatial distribution of δ13CH4 over the WCSB comparable to the one observed in the archive da

在 COP26 期间,加拿大加入了全球甲烷承诺,旨在到 2030 年将全球甲烷(CH4)排放量从 2020 年的水平减少 30%。迅速减少大气中人为甲烷(CH4)排放量被认为是与二氧化碳减排措施共同减缓全球变暖的最有效战略之一。在加拿大,很大一部分人为甲烷排放可归因于加拿大西部沉积盆地(WCSB)的石油和天然气工业,该盆地是世界第四大化石燃料储藏地。最近的研究突出表明,加拿大国家清单中报告的甲烷排放量与使用大气测量方法估算的石油和天然气行业排放量之间存在巨大差异。在不同的大气监测站测量 CH4 的同位素特征(δ13CH4),并将这些测量结果与来自西部和南部非洲的油气井及相关 CH4 泄漏的详细δ13CH4 档案进行比较,有助于更好地确定该地区不同 CH4 排放源的排放特征。在本研究中,我们比较了两组独立的数据:(1)在整个世界南极海盆区收集的数千个油气生产井及其相关泄漏(地面套管喷口和地面迁移)样本的δ13CH4;(2)2016 年至 2020 年期间在该地区三个地点连续测量的 CH4 大气混合比及其δ13CH4,并结合使用 HYSPLIT-STILT 模拟的大气足迹。我们观察到,西西伯利亚盆地内油气样本的同位素特征存在梯度,东南部的 δ13CH4 比西北部更贫化。对这些样本的分析表明,化石燃料生产过程中排放的 CH4 的同位素特征取决于其开采的地质构造。此外,CH4 同位素特征的变化更多地取决于 CH4 的来源地区,而不是开采的化石燃料类型(天然气、石油、重油、页岩气)。大气测量结果显示,其中一个大气监测点的 δ13CH4 具有很强的季节性,冬季的同位素特征与热源有关,而夏季的同位素特征则与生物源和热源混合有关。利用石油和天然气样本的 δ13CH4 档案数据库,我们估计该站点附近夏季排放的 CH4 中有 28%-39% 来自生物源(很可能是湿地)。最终,冬季收集的大气测量数据与相关的 HYSPLIT-STILT 脚印相结合,显示出世界南极海盆区的δ13CH4 空间分布与石油和天然气行业档案数据库中观察到的分布相当,从而证实石油和天然气行业是该地区 CH4 的主要来源。

Comparison of high mileage LPG cars in different technical condition in Czechia: Particle-bound PAHs 捷克不同技术条件下高里程石油气汽车的比较:颗粒结合的多环芳烃
IF 3.8 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-08-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.aeaoa.2024.100294

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is represented in the literature as a transport fuel with lower regulated and non-regulated emissions compared to petrol. For the purpose of this paper, real-world emissions measurements were performed on a random sample of four commonly operated passenger vehicles with higher mileage (over 200 thousand km) and on a new one. The aim is to compare the emission factors of particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in dual-fuelled passenger cars running on LPG and petrol, or rather to compare the emission factors of the two fuel types. PAH concentrations are determined by gas chromatography based on the analysis of particles captured on a filter during isokinetic sampling of the exhaust gas during driving in real traffic. In terms of the sum of the 8 most hazardous PAHs analysed, LPG fuelling reduced the total (summary) emission factor of only two of the vehicles analysed, by 22% and 26% respectively compared to petrol. For the remaining vehicles, there was an increase in the total emission factor ranging from 4.4 to 68.8%. The results show that in terms of particle-bound PAHs, the benefit of LPG fuel in terms of vehicle emissions may not be so clear-cut in real-world tests and it depends very much on whether a suitable propulsion system is fitted to the vehicle, how it is set up and how the vehicle is serviced (i.e. the vehicle overall condition).

与汽油相比,液化石油气(LPG)在文献中被认为是一种受管制和不受管制排放较低的运输燃料。本文对四辆里程数较高(超过 20 万公里)的常用乘用车和一辆新车进行了实际排放测量。目的是比较以液化石油气和汽油为双燃料的乘用车中颗粒结合的多环芳烃(PAHs)的排放因子,或者说是比较两种燃料的排放因子。多环芳烃的浓度是通过气相色谱法测定的,其依据是在实际交通行驶过程中对废气进行等速采样时在过滤器上捕获的颗粒分析。就所分析的 8 种最有害的多环芳烃的总和而言,在所分析的车辆中,只有两辆车的总排放系数(总和)与汽油相比分别降低了 22% 和 26%。其余车辆的总排放系数增加了 4.4% 至 68.8%。结果表明,就颗粒状多环芳烃而言,在实际测试中,石油气燃料对车辆排放的好处可能并不那么明显,这在很大程度上取决于车辆是否安装了合适的推进系统、系统的设置方式以及车辆的维修方式(即车辆的整体状况)。

Targeted use of paraffinic kerosene: Potentials and implications 石蜡煤油的定向使用:潜力和影响
IF 3.8 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-14 DOI: 10.1016/j.aeaoa.2024.100279

Aviation contributes to anthropogenic climate change mainly by contrails, CO2 and NOx emissions, whereof contrails are considered the largest single contributor to the radiative forcing from aviation. Powering aircraft with kerosene containing fewer or no-aromatics, i.e., “Sustainable Aviation Fuels” (SAF) or hydroprocessed, fossil-based kerosene, can significantly reduce contrail climate forcing. However, such kerosene is currently scarcely available. Moreover, less than 10 % of the flights worldwide cause more than 80 % of the contrail climate forcing. Hence, this study investigates a targeted allocation of paraffinic, i.e., aromatics-free kerosene to flights and flight segments with the highest contrail climate forcing, by calculating the resulting contrail energy forcing (in J) on 844 364 flight trajectories worldwide departing from five large European airports in 2019.

The contrail radiative forcing integrated over contrail evolution (i.e., contrail energy forcing [J]) is simulated for a reference fleet powered with conventional kerosene of 14.1 m - % hydrogen content. 5 % of overall kerosene demand assumed to be paraffinic kerosene with 15.3 m - % hydrogen content is allocated via a uniform, a flight-specific and a segment-specific approach. The uniform allocation assumes that all flights receive the same blend of 5 % paraffinic kerosene. The other cases target 100 % paraffinic kerosene either to flights or segments with highest contrail energy forcing. Compared to the reference, the results indicate a reduction on contrail energy forcing by 4 %, 36 % and 55 %, respectively. For market shares of paraffinic kerosene up to 30 %, a segment specific allocation appears advantageous compared to a flight specific allocation. However, they might require airport and aircraft modifications. Uncertainties in contrail climate benefits can be reduced by providing additional information on kerosene properties and accurate meteorological data. Overall, this study highlights robust potentials of paraffinic kerosene to significantly reduce the climate forcing from aviation.

航空对人类活动引起的气候变化的影响主要来自于烟雾、二氧化碳和氮氧化物的排放,其中烟雾被认为是航空辐射强迫的最大贡献者。使用含芳烃较少或不含芳烃的煤油(即 "可持续航空燃料"(SAF)或经过加氢处理的化石基煤油)为飞机提供动力,可以显著减少烟尘对气候的影响。然而,这种煤油目前还很少见。此外,全球只有不到 10% 的航班会造成 80% 以上的飞行迹线气候强迫。因此,本研究通过计算 2019 年从欧洲 5 个大型机场起飞的全球 844 364 条飞行轨迹所产生的逆光能量强迫(以 J 为单位),对逆光演变过程中的逆光辐射强迫(即逆光能量强迫 [J])进行了模拟。假定总煤油需求量的 5%为氢含量为 15.3 m - % 的石蜡煤油,通过统一、特定航班和特定分段的方法进行分配。统一分配法假定所有航班都使用相同的 5%石蜡煤油。其他情况下,100% 的石蜡煤油被分配给了具有最高碰撞能量强迫的航班或航段。结果表明,与参考值相比,飞行迹线能量强迫分别降低了 4%、36% 和 55%。对于市场份额高达 30% 的石蜡煤油而言,特定航段分配比特定航班分配更有优势。不过,这可能需要对机场和飞机进行改装。通过提供有关煤油特性的更多信息和准确的气象数据,可以减少烟雾气候效益的不确定性。总之,这项研究强调了石蜡煤油在显著减少航空气候强迫方面的巨大潜力。

The health and economic impacts of exposure to marine mobile emissions from ships in Durban port, South Africa 接触南非德班港船舶海洋移动排放物对健康和经济的影响
IF 3.8 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.aeaoa.2024.100277

South Africa remains an uncharted realm in terms of marine mobile emissions inventory and hence the impact of pollution from ships in coastal cities remains unknown. Such a void creates uncertainties about the extent of population exposure to pollution from ships, the health impact and economic value associated with the changes in policies for the port city of Durban.

This study was aimed at estimating the health and economic impact of marine mobile emissions and the health and economic benefits associated with improvement in air quality within the port city of Durban, which is under eThekwini municipality. The population exposure to particulate matter of less than 2.5 and 10 μm (PM2.5 and PM10) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) from ships calling into Durban port were estimated using the AERMOD air dispersion model. The BenMAP modelling tool was then used to estimate the health impact and economic value of changes in emission of PM2.5, PM10 and SO2 from ships visiting Durban port. The reduction in emissions from ships was due to the reduction in the sulphur content of fuel from 3.5% to 0.5% that was implemented by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) on the 01st of January 2020.

The results showed that PM2.5 and PM10 emissions reduced by 63% in 2020 compared to 2018, whilst SO2 emissions reduced by 82% over the same period. The BenMAP results indicated that 49 premature mortalities were avoided in 2020 compared to 2018 since the IMO's forced reduction in sulphur content of fuel by 85% in 2020. These avoided cases on mortality were estimated a monetary value of R228 million using the World Bank’s 2016 estimates and R683 million using the USEPA Mean VSL estimate. Such monetary values were respectively equivalent to 0.05% and 0.2% of the eThekwini's GDP, which was estimated at R468 billion in 2016.

在海洋移动排放物清单方面,南非仍然是一个未知领域,因此船舶污染对沿海城市的影响仍然未知。这项研究旨在估算海洋移动排放物对健康和经济的影响,以及德班港(隶属于 eThekwini 市)空气质量改善带来的健康和经济效益。使用 AERMOD 空气扩散模型估算了停靠德班港的船舶排放的小于 2.5 和 10 μm 的颗粒物(PM2.5 和 PM10)以及二氧化硫(SO2)对人口的影响。然后,使用 BenMAP 建模工具估算了到访德班港的船舶 PM2.5、PM10 和二氧化硫排放量变化对健康的影响和经济价值。船舶排放量减少的原因是国际海事组织(IMO)于 2020 年 1 月 1 日将燃料含硫量从 3.5% 降至 0.5%。结果显示,与 2018 年相比,2020 年的 PM2.5 和 PM10 排放量减少了 63%,同期的二氧化硫排放量减少了 82%。BenMAP 的结果表明,由于国际海事组织强制要求在 2020 年将燃料中的硫含量降低 85%,与 2018 年相比,2020 年可避免 49 例过早死亡事故。根据世界银行 2016 年的估算,这些避免的死亡案例的货币价值为 2.28 亿兰特,而根据美国环保局平均 VSL 估算,这些避免的死亡案例的货币价值为 6.83 亿兰特。这些货币价值分别相当于特克维尼 2016 年国内生产总值(估计为 4,680 亿兰特)的 0.05% 和 0.2%。

In the backdrop of persistent haze occurrences affecting Southeast Asia and Pakistan's environmental landscape, this study delves into an in-depth analysis of atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM2.5) during intense haze episodes prevalent in Lahore throughout October, November, and December 2019. Employing advanced analytical techniques encompassing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Raman Spectroscopy (RS), this investigation meticulously scrutinized PM2.5 samples. The findings showcased substantial variability in PM2.5 concentrations, peaking notably in December within the range of 43.2–301 μgm−3, averaging 168 ± 88.3 μgm−3, whereas lower concentrations ranging from 30.9 to 268 μgm−3, with an average of 106 ± 66.1 μgm−3, were observed in October. These concentrations displayed correlations with meteorological parameters, demonstrating a direct association with relative humidity and varying relationships with temperature and wind speed. The maximal PM2.5 concentrations aligned with lower temperatures (19.1 °C), while higher temperatures (26.1 °C) coincided with the lowest concentrations, illustrating distinct relationships with relative humidity percentages and wind speeds. Advanced spectroscopic analyses (RS and XRD) confirmed the presence of various minerals and elements within PM2.5 samples, encompassing calcite, calcium aluminosilicate, hematite, barite, quartz, gypsum, organic carbon, and nineteen elements identified by EDX. Morphological evaluations unveiled diverse particle shapes, from round, pointed, and irregular to rod-like, and agglomerate structures. SEM investigations delineated distinctive groups of anthropogenic and geogenic particles, emphasizing emission sources such as automobile emissions, crop residue burning, biomass burning, construction activities, soil dust, and industrial emissions. This comprehensive study lays the groundwork for source apportionment, vital for understanding consequential impacts on climate, visibility, and human health, fostering future investigations in this domain.

在影响东南亚和巴基斯坦环境面貌的持续雾霾天气发生的背景下,本研究深入分析了拉合尔在 2019 年 10 月、11 月和 12 月的严重雾霾天气期间的大气颗粒物(PM2.5)。这项调查采用了先进的分析技术,包括扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散光谱仪(EDX)、X 射线衍射(XRD)和拉曼光谱(RS),对 PM2.5 样品进行了细致的检查。研究结果表明,PM2.5 浓度变化很大,在 12 月份达到峰值,范围为 43.2-301 μgm-3,平均值为 168 ± 88.3 μgm-3,而在 10 月份,浓度较低,范围为 30.9-268 μgm-3,平均值为 106 ± 66.1 μgm-3。这些浓度与气象参数相关,显示出与相对湿度的直接关系,以及与温度和风速的不同关系。PM2.5 的最大浓度与较低的温度(19.1 °C)相一致,而较高的温度(26.1 °C)与最低的浓度相吻合,说明了与相对湿度百分比和风速的明显关系。先进的光谱分析(RS 和 XRD)证实了 PM2.5 样品中存在各种矿物质和元素,包括方解石、铝硅酸钙、赤铁矿、重晶石、石英、石膏、有机碳以及通过 EDX 确定的 19 种元素。形态学评估揭示了颗粒的各种形状,从圆形、尖形、不规则形到棒状和团聚结构。扫描电子显微镜研究划分了人为和地质颗粒的独特组别,强调了排放源,如汽车尾气排放、农作物秸秆燃烧、生物质燃烧、建筑活动、土壤尘埃和工业排放。这项全面的研究为来源划分奠定了基础,对于了解对气候、能见度和人类健康的影响至关重要,并促进了该领域未来的研究。

Bottom-up modelling is used frequently to estimate emissions produced by seagoing vessels, and the accuracy of modelling is dependent on the data the model is trained with. Observational studies can be used to increase the model accuracy. Here we compared data from two measuring campaigns conducted on board ships that use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as primary fuel in internal combustion engines (ICE) in a diesel-electric setup with values obtained from the Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM).

The power demand for propulsion calculated using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data matched observations reasonably. The root mean square error between the modelled and observed power demand was 759–914 kW (28.6–34.5%) for the measured ropax vessel and 1869–1916 kW (16.7–17.1%) for the large cruise vessel over four voyages while the ships were underway. The discrepancy is largely explained by the auxiliary power demand, which was 4 times higher on the large cruise vessel than the model prediction.

Using meteorological data to estimate the increase of resistance did not improve the goodness of fit between modelled and observed engine power demand. STEAM model's base-specific fuel consumption calculation method fits observed values reasonably when the engine load is over 50%, but ICEs used in constant speed mode have increased consumption at lower engine loads compared to variable speed ICEs.

The share of pilot fuel of total energy consumption was found to play a significant role in the emission factors for measured exhaust gas compounds. More accurate functions to model fuel consumption and emissions were derived using the observed data.

自下而上的建模经常用于估算海船产生的排放,而建模的准确性取决于模型所使用的数据。观测研究可用于提高模型的准确性。在此,我们比较了在柴油-电力设置中使用液化天然气(LNG)作为内燃机(ICE)主要燃料的船舶上进行的两次测量活动的数据与船舶交通排放评估模型(STEAM)获得的数值。在船舶航行的四个航次中,测得的罗巴逊船和大型游轮的动力需求模型和观测值之间的均方根误差分别为 759-914 kW(28.6-34.5%)和 1869-1916 kW(16.7-17.1%)。出现差异的主要原因是辅助动力需求,大型游轮上的辅助动力需求是模型预测值的 4 倍。使用气象数据估算阻力的增加并没有改善模型和观测到的发动机动力需求之间的拟合度。STEAM 模型的基础特定油耗计算方法在发动机负荷超过 50%时与观测值吻合度较高,但与变速内燃机相比,在恒速模式下使用的内燃机在发动机负荷较低时油耗会增加。利用观测数据得出了更精确的燃料消耗和排放建模函数。

Plant leaves absorb some kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can contribute to air purification, as revealed by recent exposure experiments conducted at environmentally realistic concentrations in ppb (v/v). However, the mechanisms underlying VOC absorption by plants remain unclear. In this study, we applied Fick's first law of diffusion to a VOC absorption model for plant leaves to account for the VOC diffusion process via stomata, air-liquid partitioning, partitioning into the plasma membrane, and metabolic conversion of the VOC in plant cells. The resistance and concentration of VOCs at individual sites were determined using previously reported absorption data for aliphatic aldehydes and ketones in three plant species and the leaf morphology parameters obtained from leaf cross-section micrographs. The highest resistance occurred at the metabolic site (rmet), suggesting that VOC metabolic capacity is the most influential factor in VOC absorption. The resistance of stomata (rs) or plasma membrane (rpl) was the second highest, depending on compound family. Using the absorption rate data of Q. acutissima, it is revealed that metabolic site resistance rmet for methyl vinyl ketone is affected by light intensity. Thus, our VOC absorption model can determine the most influential site in the absorption pathway both for different VOCs and plant species. Our model can contribute to the development of plant-based strategies for controlling air pollution.

植物叶片吸收某些种类的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs),并能促进空气净化,最近在ppb(v/v)环境现实浓度下进行的接触实验揭示了这一点。然而,植物吸收挥发性有机化合物的机制仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们将菲克第一扩散定律应用于植物叶片的挥发性有机化合物吸收模型,以解释挥发性有机化合物通过气孔、气液分区、质膜分区以及挥发性有机化合物在植物细胞中的代谢转化的扩散过程。利用之前报告的三种植物对脂肪族醛类和酮类的吸收数据以及从叶片横截面显微照片中获得的叶片形态参数,确定了各个部位的阻力和挥发性有机化合物的浓度。代谢部位的阻力最大(rmet),这表明挥发性有机化合物的代谢能力是影响挥发性有机化合物吸收的最大因素。气孔(rs)或质膜(rpl)的阻力次之,具体取决于化合物种类。利用 Q. acutissima 的吸收率数据,可以发现甲基乙烯酮的代谢部位阻力 rmet 受光照强度的影响。因此,我们的挥发性有机化合物吸收模型可以确定不同挥发性有机化合物和植物物种在吸收途径中影响最大的部位。我们的模型有助于开发基于植物的空气污染控制策略。

Ammonia (NH3) is an important pollutant, with serious negative environmental effects. With targets to reduce the total emissions at a United Kingdom level by 2030, it is important to quantify the emissions from contributing sectors to understand the current state for future mitigation strategies. The objective of this work was to establish an updated NH3 emission factor for broiler production in Northern Ireland. NH3 was measured on two identical broiler houses following the principles of the VERA 2.0 protocol across one year's production which encompassed at least six continuous measurement periods of a minimum of 24 h. The NH3 emissions calculated during this work did not statistically differ between the site (P = 0.275) or house (P = 0.631). NH3 emissions increased with progressing bird age (P < 0.001). NH3 emissions were not influenced by outside environmental conditions. The current study updated the NH3 emission factor for mechanically ventilated, confined broiler systems in Northern Ireland to 0.024 kg/bird place/year, 10.1 %TAN or 42.6 g/LU/d which is 29% lower in comparison to the previous the figure of 0.034 kg/bird place/year reported by The UK Ammonia Inventory.

氨(NH3)是一种重要的污染物,对环境有严重的负面影响。英国的目标是到 2030 年减少总排放量,因此必须量化各行业的排放量,以了解现状,从而制定未来的减排战略。这项工作的目的是确定北爱尔兰肉鸡生产的最新 NH3 排放系数。按照 VERA 2.0 协议的原则,在两栋相同的肉鸡舍中测量了一年生产过程中的 NH3 排放量,其中包括至少连续测量六次,每次测量时间不少于 24 小时。随着鸟龄的增加,NH3排放量也在增加(P < 0.001)。NH3 排放量不受外界环境条件的影响。本研究将北爱尔兰机械通风密闭肉鸡饲养系统的 NH3 排放系数更新为 0.024 千克/只/年、10.1%TAN 或 42.6 克/升/日,与英国氨清单报告的 0.034 千克/只/年相比,降低了 29%。

In today's industrial landscape, energy management, process modification, and reduction of atmospheric concentrations of pollutants and safety risks have become paramount. This focus is driven by the need to address environmental concerns, economic efficiency, and the global energy and climate change crisis. In gas refineries, incinerators are widely used to convert deadly and environmentally polluting acid gases into less hazardous gases. Therefore, improving incinerator performance can significantly impact environmental, economic, and energy aspects. According to the results of an energy management study at the domestic gas processing plant, the acid gas incineration unit was identified as a significant energy use. Therefore, based on the effects of the performance of this incinerator from environmental and energy points of view, the mentioned unit was prioritized for modification in this work. For this purpose, incinerator performance was assessed using Promax simulation, and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis was employed to identify potential hazards. The simulations revealed that acid gas residence time was 0.81s, longer than the 0.6s initial design with the damper in place. This suggests damper removal is feasible. Removing the damper reduces residence time and lowers incinerator temperature, especially during startup. Therefore, temperature was considered as the keyword in the HAZOP study, and a number of recommendations were proposed to eliminate or mitigate the risks of system modification. Furthermore, the assistance of results obtained from energy management based on ISO 50001:2018 standards confirm improvements in energy efficiency and fuel consumption, which have positive economic and environmental impacts. Moreover, the study employs a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach using SimaPro Software 9.5.0.1 and the CML-baseline method (Centrum voor Milieukunde Leiden) for environmental impact assessment. The results reveal that, across ten environmental impact categories, the modified project exhibits significantly reduced environmental impacts compared to its original state.

在当今的工业领域,能源管理、工艺改造以及降低大气污染物浓度和安全风险已成为重中之重。之所以如此重视,是因为需要解决环境问题、经济效益以及全球能源和气候变化危机。在天然气精炼厂中,焚化炉被广泛用于将致命的、污染环境的酸性气体转化为危害较小的气体。因此,提高焚化炉的性能可对环境、经济和能源方面产生重大影响。根据国内天然气处理厂的能源管理研究结果,酸性气体焚烧装置被确定为能源使用大户。因此,基于从环境和能源角度对该焚化炉性能的影响,在这项工作中优先对上述装置进行改造。为此,使用 Promax 仿真对焚化炉性能进行了评估,并采用了危险与可操作性(HAZOP)分析来确定潜在的危险。模拟结果表明,酸性气体的停留时间为 0.81 秒,长于最初设计的 0.6 秒。这表明拆除风门是可行的。拆除风门可缩短停留时间并降低焚烧炉温度,尤其是在启动期间。因此,在 HAZOP 研究中,温度被视为关键词,并提出了一系列建议,以消除或减轻系统改造的风险。此外,基于 ISO 50001:2018 标准的能源管理所取得的辅助结果证实了能源效率和燃料消耗的改善,这对经济和环境产生了积极影响。此外,研究还采用了生命周期评估(LCA)方法,使用 SimaPro 软件 9.5.0.1 和 CML 基准法(莱顿 Milieukunde 中心)进行环境影响评估。结果表明,在十个环境影响类别中,修改后的项目对环境的影响比原来大大减少。

This focus is driven by the need to address environmental concerns, economic efficiency, and the global energy and climate change crisis. In gas refineries, incinerators are widely used to convert deadly and environmentally polluting acid gases into less hazardous gases. Therefore, improving incinerator performance can significantly impact environmental, economic, and energy aspects. According to the results of an energy management study at the domestic gas processing plant, the acid gas incineration unit was identified as a significant energy use. Therefore, based on the effects of the performance of this incinerator from environmental and energy points of view, the mentioned unit was prioritized for modification in this work. For this purpose, incinerator performance was assessed using Promax simulation, and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis was employed to identify potential hazards. The simulations revealed that acid gas residence time was 0.81s, longer than the 0.6s initial design with the damper in place. This suggests damper removal is feasible. Removing the damper reduces residence time and lowers incinerator temperature, especially during startup. Therefore, temperature was considered as the keyword in the HAZOP study, and a number of recommendations were proposed to eliminate or mitigate the risks of system modification. Furthermore, the assistance of results obtained from energy management based on ISO 50001:2018 standards confirm improvements in energy efficiency and fuel consumption, which have positive economic and environmental impacts. Moreover, the study employs a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach using SimaPro Software 9.5.0.1 and the CML-baseline method (Centrum voor Milieukunde Leiden) for environmental impact assessment. The results reveal that, across ten environmental impact categories, the modified project exhibits significantly reduced environmental impacts compared to its original state.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37150,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment: X","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259016212400039X/pdfft?md5=18f341f549c1de15fb6f27c52131ea46&pid=1-s2.0-S259016212400039X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141405132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
