Analysis of Emissions Calculators for a National Center of Excellence on Displaced Emissions Reductions (CEDER)
(2008-07-18)In August 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued guidance on quantifying the air emissions benefits from electric sector energy efficiency and renewable energy. Because there was no clear best strategy, ... -
Engineering analysis of the air pollution regulatory process impacts on the agricultural industry
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The EPA press release dated February 23, 2004 states that the three Buckeye Egg Farm facilities had the potential to emit more than a combined total of 1850 tons per year of particulate matter (PM). This number was based ... -
Evaluation of the TEOM method for the measurement of particulate matter for Texas cattle feedlots
(2009-05-15)The Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) sampler is an EPA approved Federal Equivalent Method Sampler for measuring PM10 concentrations. The Center for Agricultural Air Quality Engineering and Science (CAAQES) ... -
Operation of Energy-Efficient Air-Conditioned Buildings: An Overview
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)To design an optimum HVAC airside system that provides comfort and air quality in the air-conditioned spaces with efficient energy consumption is a great challenge. This paper evaluates recent progresses of HVAC airside ... -
PM2.5 Source Impact Analysis on a Cattle Feedyard Using an Alternative Secondary PM2.5 Emission Factor and Dispersion Modelling
(2018-05-07)This research was primarily focused on how much particulate matter (PM2.5) can be obtained from reactions of ammonia with sulfur dioxide inside two controlled reaction environments – flow reactor and wind tunnel. The PM2.5 ... -
Signal Timing Optimization to Improve Air Quality
(2012-12-11)This study develops an optimization methodology for signal timing at intersections to reduce emissions based on MOVES, the latest emission model released by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The primary objective ... -
A Study of Atmospheric Deposition of Air Toxics to the Waters of Puget Sound
(2009-06-09)Air pollutants can be deposited in many forms such as rain, snow, and gases. Urban centers are major sources of combustion-derived particulate matter, black carbon, and volatile organic carbon to the atmosphere. Expansion ... -
The Use of Performance Measurement to Incorporate Air Quality Goals into Mileage-based User Fees
(2017-05-05)The goal of this research was to develop a mileage-based user fee (MBUF) system that incorporated air quality goals through the use of performance measurement. A framework of performance measures was developed that addresses ... -
Using a Regional Chemical Transport Model for the Analysis of Gaseous and Particulate Air Pollutants in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
(2012-02-14)Air quality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) is the subject of many studies due to concerns from high emissions and their adverse effects on public health and the environment. In this study, a high resolution ...
