The benefits and costs of reducing emissions from the electricity sector.
Recent federal policy proposals to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)), nitrogen oxides (NO(x)), and mercury from the US electricity sector promise important improvements in air quality and reductions in acid deposition. The cost of achieving these reductions depends on the form and stringency of the regulation. In this research, we analyze the economic benefits and costs of the US Envir...
متن کاملEvaluation of cooking emitted particulate matter concentration and workers cancer risk assessment in the sari fast-food shops
Introduction: One of the harmful pollutants in the indoor environments is particulate matters. Particles smaller than 2.5 micrometer in diameter that are suspend in the industrial environments air are the most deleterious dusts which can cause lung disease and cancer. In present study PM2.5 concentration in the fast-food shops air and its cancer risk for shop workers were assessed. Material ...
متن کاملRisk-Based Prioritization among Air Pollution Control Strategies in the Yangtze River Delta, China
BACKGROUND The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in China is a densely populated region with recent dramatic increases in energy consumption and atmospheric emissions. OBJECTIVES We studied how different emission sectors influence population exposures and the corresponding health risks, to inform air pollution control strategy design. METHODS We applied the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) M...
متن کاملMeeting Report: Estimating the Benefits of Reducing Hazardous Air Pollutants—Summary of 2009 Workshop and Future Considerations
BACKGROUND Quantifying the benefits of reducing hazardous air pollutants (HAPs, or air toxics) has been limited by gaps in toxicological data, uncertainties in extrapolating results from high-dose animal experiments to estimate human effects at lower doses, limited ambient and personal exposure monitoring data, and insufficient economic research to support valuation of the health impacts often ...
متن کاملLevels of Fine Particulate Matter Bound Trace Metals in Air of Glass Industrial Area; Firozabad
The present study deals with sequential extraction of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) bound trace metals in an industrial area of Firozabad, India. During the study period, daily PM2.5 concentration ranged between 73.49 μg/m3 and 113.26 μg/m3 with poor air quality index of 196.37. In the present study, Ca recorded the highest while Co had the lowest concentration among all analysed metals. Mn, ...
