Brown carbon (BrC) are important light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols in the atmosphere, and it is of great significance to study the climate effects of BrC for regional or global climate change. This paper reviews recent advances in research on the radiative forcing of BrC, its effects on temperature and precipitation, and snow/ice albedo. Recent research suggests that: (1) Climate effects of aerosols can be represented more accurately when including BrC absorption in climate models; the regions with the highest global mean surface BrC concentrations estimated by models are mostly Southeast Asia and South America (biomass burning), East Asia and northeast India (biofuel burning), and Europe and North America (secondary sources); estimates of BrC radiative forcing are quite erratic, with a range of around 0.03–0.57 W m –2 . (2) BrC heating lead to tropical expansion and a reduction in deep convective mass fluxes in the upper troposphere; cloud fraction and cloud type have a substantial impact on the heating rate estimates of BrC. The inclusion of BrC in the model results in a clear shift in the cloud fraction, liquid water path, precipitation, and surface flux. BrC heating decreases precipitation on a global scale, particularly in tropical regions with high convective and precipitation intensity, but different in some regions. (3) Uncertain optical properties of BrC, mixing ratio of radiation-absorbing aerosols in snow, snow grain size and snow coverage lead to higher uncertainties and lower confidence in the simulated distribution and radiative forcing of BrC in snow than BC. To reduce the uncertainty of its climate effects, future research should focus on improving model research, creating reliable BrC emission inventories, and taking into account the photobleaching and lense effects of BrC.

This research focuses on the properties of near-ground fine particles (PM 2.5 ), ultrafine particles (UFP), black carbon (BC), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in traffic area. The effects of street sweeping and washing on pollutant levels are evaluated. The X Road with sewage ditch was selected for the stationary samplings to determine the differences between the atmospheric PM 2.5 mass concentration, their composition, and potential sources before/after street cleaning processes, as well as the effect of the sewage existence. Results show that there were certain reductions of PM 2.5 after the street washing, especially for the road section with drainage ditch. The chemical mass balance model then pointed out the traffic contribution on PM 2.5 significantly reduced on the downwind site (from 25.7% to 16.5%). Besides, the spatial distribution of the near-ground PM 2.5 , UFP, BC, and PAHs were monitored by a mobile platform on an appropriate long, straight, and not heavily traffic Road Y. The monitoring took place at 1 h-before, during washing/sweeping, at 1 h-after, at 1 d-after, at 2 d-after three cleaning strategies, including only sweeping, washing-before-sweeping, and sweeping-before-washing. The monitoring then mapped out the hot spot distribution of pollutants. The PM 2.5 mass, UFP number, BC, and PAH concentrations before the street sweeping is 155 µ g m –3 , 1.2 × 104 # cm –3 , BC 3633 ng m –3 , and 36 ng m –3 . The UFP number concentration of suspended particles after street washing had a trend to reduce, avoided the deterioration of air quality. The strategy, “sweeping-before-washing”, was the best operation method among three to suppress the UFP number concentration by 42%, while all three strategies could effectively reduce the PAH levels. The primary pollutants are more easily reduced by the street-cleaning process, while the secondary one did not.

In some special densely populated areas, the background atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentration is very high, which makes near-ground (NG) exposure a major problem endangering human health. In our study, the night market in Chiayi City was selected as the research object and collected the 24-hour PM 2.5 samples through the federal reference method (FRM), characterizing the mass concentration, water-soluble ionic components, carbon specious, metal compositions and source contributions of PM 2.5 . To better analyze the contribution of traffic sources under different sampling conditions, the mobile real-time monitoring system was used to analyze the quality of NG-PM 2.5 , the number of ultra-fine particles (UFP), the concentration of black carbon (BC) and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) before and after the traffic restriction. Results indicated the concentration of PM 2.5 was 7.26 – 58.6 mg m – 3 . In chemical analysis, secondary contents e.g., carbonaceous and ionic components accounted for ~ 60% of the PM 2.5 , supporting the importance of long-range transport. However, the traffic contribution accounted for ~ 30% and hardly changed between different samples, which was not conducive to source apportionment. Through traffic restriction, it was found that all kinds of pollutants increased significantly before restriction, and even after restriction, the concentrations of PM 2.5 and BC increased 131% and 151% in low concentration season. In the high concentration season, the traffic restriction significantly reduced the NG-UFP and NG-PAH concentration by 27% and 55%, respectively, but NG-BC and NG-PM 2.5 was almost unaffected. Therefore, besides the contribution of traffic source, emissions from cooking activities are very important for the increase of NG-PM 2.5 levels in the night market area.

China's petroleum refining industry has set off another climax and has entered a new rapid development by building seven petrochemical bases. Sector-based volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the refining industry in seven petrochemical-developed provinces in China were estimated for 1990–2019 and projected for 2020–2030 under the business-as-usual (BAU), new policy control (NPC), and the highest control (HC) scenarios. Furthermore, speciated VOCs and their ozone formation potentials (OFP) were estimated in 2019. Total VOC emissions from existing refineries were 541.14 Gg in 2019, of which 43.9%, 31.3%, 18.3%, and 6.6% were from fugitive, end-of-pipe, tank storage, and wastewater treatment sources, respectively. Alkanes were the most dominant compound in refineries, accounting for 55.2% of total emissions, followed by alkenes (18.9%) and aromatics (12.5%). Alkenes were the highest contributor to OFP, accounting for 59.5% of total OFP, followed by alkanes (22.3%) and aromatics (13.7%). n-Butane, ethylene, cis-2-Butene, n-Decane, and n-Pentane were the top five species with the highest emissions, accounting for approximately 50% of total emissions. Whilst, ethylene, cis-2-Butene, n-Pentane, n-Butane, and m/p-Xylene were the top five species with the highest contribution to OFPs, accounting for approximately 78% of total OFPs. In 2030, 741.03 and 165.28 Gg more VOC will be released than in 2019 under a non-control condition and the BAU scenario. It is estimated that 75.05 and 228.67 Gg of VOC from all refineries can be reduced under the NPC 2030 and the HC 2030 scenarios. To effectively reduce VOC emissions from refining industries, priority should be given to fugitive emissions by improving and upgrading the production processes and implementing enhanced leak detection and Repair system. More efficient control technologies should be invented for end-of-pipe sources. Vapor recovery systems and secondary seals have great potential for VOC emission reduction from storage tanks.

Open waste burning (OWB) is a common disposal practice in several countries. However, this activity can serve as a source of particulate matter and black carbon, which possess a greater greenhouse effect potential than CO 2 . Moreover, particulates can produce chronic health impacts on residents around the burning areas. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the environmental effects and health risks associated with the open burning of household waste in Semarang, Indonesia. Four steps were followed to answer the research questions: (1) data collection through a random questionnaire survey, transect walk, and field survey; (2) estimation of environmental risk using the IPCC calculation method; (3) multiplication of emission factors to determine black carbon emissions; and (4) estimation of health risks based on chemical speciation bound to particulate matter. Open burning remained the second most common waste disposal practice even after the implementation of waste collection services by the government. Specifically, approximately 240.28 tons of waste is not collected by the environmental agency service every day, and 88.6% of the uncollected waste in the city is openly burned. Plastic burning contributed to the highest emission share among waste components, and annual total emissions due to OWB were estimated at approximately 53,809.66 tons. Although the carcinogenic risk was low, non-cancer disease risk exceeded the standard. Therefore, direct exposure of residents to OWB may pose significant health risks. The present work fills the scientific and knowledge gaps in the OWB studies.

A series of rare earth-doped Fe-based oxide catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts. The effects of the various rare earth species, doping amount of Sm, calcination temperature and the kind of precipitant on the deNO x activity of the catalysts were systematically investigated. The SO 2 resistance performance was tested on the optimal catalyst. The catalysts have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), The X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunner Emmet Teller (BET). The results showed that the doping of Sm significantly improves the removal efficiency of Fe-based oxides. Sm 0.075 Fe 0.925 catalyst showed the optimal deNO x performance and excellent resistance to SO 2 . At the optimal doping rate (0.075), the denitrification rate was close to 100% between 200 and 250 ° C. The calcination temperature has a significant effect on the catalyst. The order of catalytic activity for different calcination temperatures was 350 ° C ≈ 400 ° C > 450 ° C > 500 ° C. The Sm 0.075 Fe 0.925 achieved 100% the de-NOx efficiencies at calcination temperatures of 350–400 ° C. It was also found that the deNO x performance of the catalyst prepared by using NH 3 ·H 2 O as the precipitating agent was better than the catalyst prepared by using (NH 3 ) 2 CO 3 or NaOH as the precipitating agent. Normally a small amount of SO 2 would render the catalyst inactive, but the Sm 0.075 Fe 0.925 catalyst was basically regenerated after 0.05% SO 2 removal in this resistance test.

Multi-component analysis of PM 0.5–0.1 collected by Nanosampler II metal (Steel Use Stainless: SUS) wool fiber at the PM 0.1 classification stage is challenging owing to difficulties in SUS wool fiber separation after collection. A 4-division (4D) cartridge was developed to enable quantitative analysis of multiple components by dividing the SUS wool fibers into four sections. The performance of the 4D cartridge was evaluated using sulfate ion concentrations of actual atmospheric particulate matter (PM). Observations using the 4D cartridge revealed that the relative standard deviation (RSD) of sulfate ions was lower for mesh with a large open area. In the case of the mesh with a large opening area, the partition did not block too much of the cross-sectional area of the SUS wool fiber, thus minimizing its effect on the airflow and possibly suppressing particle adhesion on the stainless-steel mesh. The PM 0.1 classification efficiency test was conducted, and a linear analysis of the total filling mass of SUS wool fiber along with classifying efficiency of 100 nm PM was performed. In the 4D cartridge, it was estimated that 8.7 mg of SUS wool fiber was required to achieve a classification efficiency of 100 nm at 50% cutoff diameter because the apparent volume fraction of SUS wool fiber increases with the introduction of the partition. Using optimal mesh and amount of SUS wool fiber, the average RSD of sulfate ions was 5.6%, which was within the acceptable range ( ± 15%) for reanalysis of the Ministry of the Environment in Japan due to changes in analytical sensitivity of ionic components, confirming that PM was evenly collected from the four pieces of SUS wool fiber. This enabled multi-component analysis of all particle sizes including PM 0.5-0.1 through the classified collection of PM using Nanosampler II.

Rendering plants treat dead livestock and produce grease and bone meal. In a rendering plant, the cooking and drying processes are the main sources of odor emissions. Non-fresh dead livestock reduce the performance of odor control devices, and in Taiwan, the treatment facilities in a rendering plant mostly are operated in a batch feeding, which causes volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in the exhausted gas, that always caused complaints from the nearby neighborhood. This study used respectively ozone and hydrogen peroxide to evaluate the removal efficiencies of pentanal, hexanal and toluene those are common VOCs in the rendering exhaustion. Experimental results indicated that ozone could not effectively reduce aldehydes and toluene, and the residual ozone remaining in the exhaust gas is a secondary air pollutant and irritate the human respiratory tracts. Oppositely, hydrogen peroxide effectively removed pentanal as a feasible VOC treatment oxidant by adding into a contact reactor. When the pentanal exhaustion concentration from the rendering process was around 36.23 ppm in the flue with the flow rates from 100 to 250 Nm 3 min –1 , the reaction rate constant of pentanal for the first-order reaction by aqueous hydrogen peroxide of 1,000 mg L –1 was obtained as 0.536 1 s –1 , and then the pentanal reduced to 0.68 to 2 ppm. Based on the simulation using the Gaussian dispersion model, the concentration ranges of pentanal in the exhausted stream resulted in the pentanal emission rate lower than 0.01 g s –1 , which no longer causes surrounding residents’ complaints.

HCFC-141b (CH 3 CCl 2 F) has dual environmental impacts on ozone depletion and climate change, with the ozone depletion potential of 0.11 and the global warming potential of 782, and its emissions has attracted international attention. Under the control of the Montreal Protocol, China should phase out the production and consumption of HCFC-141b by 2030. This study firstly estimated the HCFC-141b emissions in eastern China based on the bottom-up method during 2000-2019. The results show that the HCFC-141b emissions in eastern China increased from 0.4 Gg yr –1 in 2000 to 7.1 Gg yr –1 in 2019, and there was a bank of 253.6 Gg in PU foam products in 2019, which may have an impact on the future HCFC-141b emissions. In addition, the HCFC-141b emissions were predicted in eastern China from 2020–2050 under the baseline scenario (BAU), the Montreal Protocol scenario (MP), and the accelerated phase-out scenario (AP), and the emission potential was analyzed. The results show that the HCFC-141b emissions increased rapidly under the BAU scenario, with the cumulative emissions of 1162.6 Gg in 2020–2050. Under the MP and AP scenarios, the cumulative HCFC-141b emission reduction potential from 2020 to 2050 will be 1002.1 Gg (equivalent to 110.2 Gg CFC-11-eq and 783.6 Tg CO 2 -eq) and 1034.8 Gg (equivalent to 113.8 Gg CFC-11-eq and 809.2 Tg CO 2 -eq), respectively. Compared with the MP scenario, under the AP scenario, eastern China will get an additional emission reduction potential of 32.7 Gg (equivalent to 3.6 Gg CFC-11-eq and 25.5 Tg CO 2 -eq) during 2020–2050, which will make greater contributions to protecting the ozone layer and mitigating climate change.
HCFC-141b (ch3ccl2f)对臭氧消耗和气候变化具有双重环境影响，其臭氧消耗潜势为0.11，全球变暖潜势为782，其排放受到国际关注。在《蒙特利尔议定书》的控制下，中国应在2030年前逐步淘汰HCFC-141b的生产和消费。本研究首先采用自下而上的方法估算了2000-2019年中国东部地区HCFC-141b的排放量。结果表明，中国东部地区HCFC-141b排放量从2000年的0.4 Gg / yr -1增加到2019年的7.1 Gg / yr -1, 2019年PU泡沫制品中存在253.6 Gg的库，这可能对未来HCFC-141b排放产生影响。在基线情景(BAU)、《蒙特利尔议定书》情景(MP)和加速淘汰情景(AP)下，对2020-2050年中国东部地区HCFC-141b的排放进行了预测，并对其排放潜力进行了分析。结果表明:BAU情景下HCFC-141b排放量快速增加，2020-2050年累计排放量为1162.6 Gg;在MP和AP情景下，2020 - 2050年HCFC-141b累计减排潜力分别为1002.1 Gg(相当于110.2 Gg cfc -11 eq和783.6 Tg CO 2 -eq)和1034.8 Gg(相当于113.8 Gg cfc -11 eq和809.2 Tg CO 2 -eq)。与MP情景相比，AP情景下，2020-2050年中国东部地区将额外获得32.7 Gg(相当于3.6 Gg CFC-11-eq和25.5 Tg co2 -eq)的减排潜力，将对保护臭氧层和减缓气候变化做出更大的贡献。
