A special issue of JA&WMA on agricultural air quality: state of the science.
The world’s population has grown, from approximately 1.5 billion at the beginning of the 20th century to more than 6 billion today. This population increase has been accompanied by the rapid growth of intensive agriculture with its associated, significant impacts on the environment. Over the next 50 yr, the Earth’s human population is predicted to increase from the current level to more than 9 ...
متن کاملEffects of agriculture upon the air quality and climate: research, policy, and regulations.
Scientific assessments of agricultural air quality, including estimates of emissions and potential sequestration of greenhouse gases, are an important emerging area of environmental science that offers significant challenges to policy and regulatory authorities. Improvements are needed in measurements, modeling, emission controls, and farm operation management. Controlling emissions of gases an...
متن کاملA study of the trace gas columns of O3, NO2 and HCHO over Africa in September 1997w
Retrievals of trace gas columns from the measurements of backscattered radiation by GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) show that enhanced tropospheric columns of ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO), over the African continent occur frequently. This study focuses on the behaviour of trace gases over Africa in September 1997, a period impacted by the strongest known ...
متن کاملA global model of natural volatile organic compound emissions
Numerical assessments of global air quality and potential changes in atmospheric chemical constituents require estimates of the surface fluxes of a variety of trace gas species. We have developed a global model to estimate emissions of volatile organic compounds from natural sources (NVOC). Methane is not considered here and has been reviewed in detail elsewhere. The model has a highly resolved...
متن کاملUNMIX Methods Applied to Characterize Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds in Toronto, Ontario
UNMIX, a sensor modeling routine from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was used to model volatile organic compound (VOC) receptors in four urban sites in Toronto, Ontario. VOC ambient concentration data acquired in 2000-2009 for 175 VOC species in four air quality monitoring stations were analyzed. UNMIX, by performing multiple modeling attempts upon varying VOC menus-while rejec...
