Each of these near-zero emission, long term hydrogen supply options faces significant challenges before it could be implemented on a global scale. 

The results of control measurements serve particularly as a basis for provisions for restricting emissions. Long-term control measurements make it possible to evaluate the course at atmospheric pollution.

Potential for releasing process mateiials to the environment. Fugitive emissions are receiving ever increasing attention. Exposure considerations, both immediate and long term, for maintenance personnel are especially important when the process fluid is either corrosive or toxic. 

F or NjO, estimates of soil emissions are perhaps slightly more straightforward, simply because so much more information on soil NjO emissions is available. For agricultural soils, estimates as a percentage of fertilizer input have been published " and, for the remaining land use classes listed in Table 5, mean annual emissions from a series of long-term flux measurements are available. The total annual soil NjO emissions for the ElK (27 kt N) are very similar to the annual soil NO emissions. Soils, however, have by far a greater impact on the... 

For sources having a large component of emissions from low-level sources, the simple Gifford-Hanna model given previously as Eq. (20-19), X = Cqju, works well, especially for long-term concentrations, such as annual ones. Using the derived coefficients of 225 for particulate matter and 50 for SO2, an analysis of residuals (measured minus estimated) of the dependent data sets (those used to determine the values of the coefficient C) of 29 cities for particulate matter and 20 cities for SOj and an independent data set of 15 cities for particulate matter is summarized in Table 20-1. For the dependent data sets, overestimates result. The standard deviations of the residuals and the mean absolute errors are about equal for particulates and sulfur dioxide. For the independent data set the mean residual shows... 

This problem, namely the formaldehyde emission of the wood panel in service, after its manufacture, can be fortunately regarded to day as more or less solved, due to unequivocal and stringent regulations in many European countries, and successful long-term joint R D in the adhesives and wood-working industries. 

A difficulty that should not be overlooked is that airborne particulates are rarely homogeneous. They vary greatly in size and shape, and their chemical composition is determined by factors specific to the source and location of the emissions. The combined effects and interactions of various substances mixed with particulates have not yet been established (except for sulfur dioxide), but they are believed to be significant, especially where long-term exposure occurs. Measurement techniques and their reliability may vary across regions and countries, and so may other factors, such as diet, lifestyle, and physical fitness, that influence the human health effects of exposure to particulates.

TTie system can be used for continuous measurement of the mass concentration at a single point for up to 12 hours, for traverse measurements of stack particulate mass concentrations using sample probe extensions, with the mass transducer up to 6 m in the stack, or for intermittendy measuring particulate mass concentrations of emission gases for long-term readings (e.g.. 30-sec samples every 60 minutes. ... 

A catalytic oxidation system may cost 150 per car, but the catalyst cost is estimated to be 30, less than 1% of the cost of an automobile (2). In a few years, the gross sale of automotive catalysts in dollars may exceed the combined sale of catalysts to the chemical and petroleum industries (3). On the other hand, if the emission laws are relaxed or if the automotive engineers succeed in developing a more economical and reliable non-catalytic solution to emission control, automotive catalysis may turn out to be a short boom. Automotive catalysis is still in its infancy, with tremendous potential for improvement. The innovations of catalytic scientists and engineers in the future will determine whether catalysis is the long term solution to automotive emissions. 

Tropical forests and savannas are the primary source of C emissions that originate from biomass burning (73, 75). However, temperate forests are also sources of atmospheric carbon. Harmon et al. (77) reported that conversion of primary temperate forests to younger, second-growth forests lead to increases in atmospheric CO2 levels, due to losses in long-term carbon storage within these forests. They ascertained that timber exploitation of 5 million hectares of primaiy forests in the Pacific Northwest of North America during the past century has resulted in the addition of 1,500 Tg of C to the atmosphere. 

Therefore, as it is mentioned in the AR4, climate projections for the end of the century depend on the scenario and the particular model used to develop them. Temperature changes, and especially precipitation changes, show, for such temporal horizon, a broad range of values. On the other hand, projections for the next 2-4-decades are quite robust, since they depend less on long-term feedbacks and also on future greenhouse gases emissions. In fact, the climate of the next few years is tightly determined by past and recent emissions (climate commitment).
