Large gain in air quality compared to an alternative anthropogenic emissions scenario

Status of Use of Anthropogenic Emissions in Air Quality

Influence of future anthropogenic emissions on climate, natural emissions, and air quality

[1] This study examines the effects of future anthropogenic emissions on climate, and the resulting feedback to natural emissions and air quality. Speciated sectorand region-specific 2030 emission factors were developed to produce gas and particle emission inventories that followed Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B and B1 emission trajectories. Current and future climate model sim...

Polar firn air reveals large-scale impact of anthropogenic mercury emissions during the 1970s.

Mercury (Hg) is an extremely toxic pollutant, and its biogeochemical cycle has been perturbed by anthropogenic emissions during recent centuries. In the atmosphere, gaseous elemental mercury (GEM; Hg degrees ) is the predominant form of mercury (up to 95%). Here we report the evolution of atmospheric levels of GEM in mid- to high-northern latitudes inferred from the interstitial air of firn (pe...
