Baehl, Michael Matthew (2009-05-15)New bioaerosol sampling inlets were designed and tested that have nominal exhaust flow rates of 100 L/min to 400 L/min, and which have internal fractionators and screens to scalp large, unwanted particles and debris from ...
-
Price, Jacqueline Elaine (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Engineering directly impacts current and future regulatory policy decisions. The foundation of air pollution control and air pollution dispersion modeling lies in the math, chemistry, and physics of the environment. ...
-
Shaw, Bryan W. (2000-07-05)This pocket-sized guide gives step-by-step instructions for calibrating ground sprayers. Tables provide instructions, examples and sample formulas for determining speed of application, flow rate and the amount of pesticide ...

Powell, Jacob Joseph (2009-05-15)Non-road diesel engines are significant contributors to air pollution in the United States. Recent regulations put forth by EPA and other environmental agencies have laid out stringent guidelines for engine manufacturers ...
-
Hamm, Lee Bradford (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)An engineering analysis of the fugitive particulate matter emissions from a feedyard is not simple. The presence of an evening dust peak in concentration measurements downwind of a feedyard complicates the calculation of ...
-
Lange, Jennifer Marie (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 ...
-
Buser, Michael Dean (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Agricultural operations across the United States are encountering difficulties complying with current air pollution regulations for particulate matter (PM). PM is currently regulated in terms of particle diameters less ...
-
Guha, Abhinav (2010-07-14)Previous studies have demonstrated that EPA approved federal reference method (FRM) samplers can substantially misrepresent the fractions of particles being emitted from agricultural operations due to the relationship ...
