Abstract. Anthropogenic atmospheric emissions of typical toxic heavy metals have caused worldwide concern due to their adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. By determining best available representation time-varying emission factors with S-shape curves, we establish multiyear comprehensive inventories 12 (Hg, As, Se, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Sb, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn) from primary anthropogenic activities in China for period 1949–2012 first time. Further, allocate annual these 2010 at a high...
Coal-fired power plants are the important sources of anthropogenic atmospheric releases various hazardous trace elements (HTE) because a large quantity emissions can cause wide dispersion and possible long-distance transportation. To obtain temporal trends spatial variation characteristics HTE discharged from coal-fired China, multiple-year comprehensive emission inventory including Hg, As, Se, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Sb has been established for period 2000-2010. Thanks to cobenefit removal effects...
A bottom-up inventory of atmospheric emissions five precedent-controlled toxic heavy metals (HMs), including mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr), from primary anthropogenic sources in China is established for the period 2000–2010. Total HMs demonstrate a gradually ascending trend along with increase coal consumption industrial production, which are estimated at approximately 842.22 t Hg, 4196.31 As, 29272.14 Pb, 795.29 Cd, 13715.33 Cr 2010. Coal combustion...
Antimony (Sb) and its compounds are considered as global pollutants due to their health risks long-range transport characteristics. A comprehensive inventory of atmospheric antimony emissions from anthropogenic activities during the period 1995–2010 has been developed with specific estimation methods based on relevant data available for different continents countries. Our results indicate that have increased a peak at about 2232 t (t) in 2005 then declined gradually. Global 2010 estimated...
In this study, we investigated the emission characteristics of condensable particulate matter (CPM) and sulfur trioxide (SO3) simultaneously through ammonia-based/limestone-based wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) from four typical coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) by conducting field measurements. Stack emissions filterable (FPM) all meet Chinese ultralow (ULE) standards, whereas CPM concentrations are prominent (even exceed 10 mg/Nm3 two CFPPs). We find that NH4+ Cl- increase markedly...
Vanadium is a strategically important metal in the world, although sustained exposure under high vanadium levels may lead to notable adverse impact on health. Here, we leverage bottom-up approach quantitatively evaluate emissions from both anthropogenic and natural sources during 1949–2017 China for first time. The results show that increased by 86% 1949 2005 historical peak value then gradually decreased 12.9 kt 2017. With effective implementation of air pollution control measures, sharply...
Increasing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) over the Chinese mainland have been great concern due to their adverse impacts on regional air quality and public health. To explore obtain temporal spatial characteristics NOx from thermal power plants in China, a unit-based method is developed. The assesses based detailed information unit capacity, boiler burner patterns, feed fuel types, emission control technologies, geographical locations. national total 2010 are estimated at 7801.6 kt,...
To achieve ultralow-emission (ULE) standards, wet electrostatic precipitators (WESP) installed downstream from flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) have been widely used in Chinese coal-fired power plants (CFPPs). We conducted a comprehensive field test study at four 300 MW level ULE CFPPs, to explore the impact of clean processing (WFGD and WESP) on emission characteristics three size fractions particulate matter (PM: PM2.5, PM10–2.5, PM>10) their ionic compositions. All these CFPPs are with...
Associations of multimorbidity and income with hospital admission were investigated in population samples from 3 widely differing health care systems: Scotland (n = 36,921), China 162,464), Hong Kong 29,187). Multimorbidity increased odds admissions all settings. In Scotland, poorer people more likely to be admitted (adjusted ratio [aOR] 1.62; 95% CI, 1.41–1.86 for the lowest group vs highest), whereas showed opposite (aOR 0.58; 0.56–0.60). Kong, public hospitals 1.68; 1.36–2.07), but less...
To investigate the up-to-date migration and emission characteristics of NH3/NH4+ in coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) after implementing ultralow retrofitting, typical air pollution control devices (APCDs) CFPPs, including flue gas denitrification, dust collectors, combined wet desulfurization (WFGD), precipitators are involved field measurements. The results show that most excessive injected and/or unreacted ammonia from denitrification system, whether selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or...
