The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has developed a set of annual North American emissions data for multiple air pollutants across 18 broad source categories 2002 through 2017. sixteen new inventories were using consistent input and methods all years. When method or tool was not available category, estimated by scaling from the EPA's 2017 National Emissions Inventory with factors based on activity and/or control information. datasets are designed to support regional...

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates on-road vehicles emissions using the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES). We developed updated ammonia emission rates for MOVES based on road-side exhaust measurements of light-duty gasoline and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. resulting nationwide vehicle are 1.8, 2.1, 1.6 times higher than MOVES3 calendar years 2010, 2017, 2024, 2035, respectively, primarily due to an increase in NH

Abstract. Mobile sources are responsible for a substantial controllable portion of the reactive organic carbon (ROC) emitted to atmosphere, especially in urban environments United States. We update existing methods calculating mobile source particle and vapor emissions States with over decade laboratory data that parameterize volatility aerosol (OA) potential from on-road vehicles, nonroad engines, aircraft, marine vessels, locomotives. find emission factor information Teflon filters...

The impact of outdoor and indoor pollution sources on air quality in Santiago, Chile was investigated. Toward this end, 16 homes were sampled four sessions. Each session included an site using different unvented space heaters (electric or central heating, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum kerosene). Average fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations very high (55.9 microg x m(-3)), a large fraction these particles penetrated indoors. PM2.5 several components (including sulfate,...
