However, overall, Southern Hemisphere sites tend to have lower ozone pollution levels, and fewer days above 70 ppb. Click to enlarge.

About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. We can use this information to guide the development of particulate transport models.

Although studies widely agree that widespread deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the associated infrastructure would reduce air pollutant emissions from the transportation sector, the extent to which air quality in an urban airshed will be affected by these reductions is a more complex matter than simply quantifying emissions.

A team of researchers at Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility and the Technical University of Denmark have developed an optical setup for quantitative, high-temporal resolution line-of-sight extinction imaging in harsh optical environments. The work was published in a paper in the journal Applied Optics.

New work by a team at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Canada has found that more than one-third of Canadian buyers want a plug-in vehicle (PEV), with the majority of those (89—93%) wanting a plug-in hybrid rather than a pure electric vehicle. The latter report was published in Energy Economics. PEVs look “strange”). Axsen, J., Goldberg, J.

In these environments, the upside of electric drivetrains is maximized while range and charging infrastructure limitations are minimized. Without smart planning, this technology could clog roads, increase pollution and further stratify mobility options. INRIX looked at one year’s worth of travel—nearly 1.3

Emissions of black carbon also involve the co-emission of other pollutants, which can have additional warming or cooling effects.

A team of researchers led by Dan Work of Vanderbilt University repeated the same experiment last year but made one change: they added a single autonomous vehicle in the ring. In order to be reliable, those models need to have good inventories of what’s entering the environment, such as emissions from vehicles and power plants.

Are there going to be any consequences that we may not have thought about?

The way cars are used here, the ways in which cars interact with the environment, the way in which human beings reside in urban centers in China are profoundly going to seed the development of the auto industry in every other part of the world.

The scientists pointed out that converting the epoxides to aerosol is likely to be higher in polluted environments, because the aerosols’ acidity is generally higher when human activity is present. Wennberg and colleagues also used oxygen isotopes to gain insight into the chemical mechanism yielding epoxides. Dr Kleindienst.
