Sources of emission

The energy, and thus the range, of a-particles, is characteristic of the source of emission. 

Stationary monitoring networks are also operated to determine the impact of new sources of emissions. As part of the environmental impact statement and Prevention of Significant Deterioration processes, the projected impact of a new source on existing air quality must be assessed. Air quality monitoring is one means of making this type of assessment. A monitoring network... 

Local exhaust vendladon serves to remove a contaminant near its source of emission into die atmosphere of a workplace. A system normally comprises a hood, ducting which conveys exhausted air and contaminants, a fan, equipment for contaminants collecdon/removal and a stack for dispersion of decontaminated air. Hoods normally comprise an enclosure, a boodi, a captor hood or a receptor hood. Those relying on odier dian complete enclosure should be as close as practicable to die source of polludon to achieve maximum efficiency. 

The reasons for such strict regulation of air pollution are obvious protecting human health and the environment. Potential air pollutants are not only toxic in many cases, but they can travel over great distances, thereby impacting areas remote from the sources of emissions. There are two environments that are of concern, once chemicals are emitted to the surroundings ... 

In the calculations that were made to predict ground level concentrations from a VCM reactor blow off, the Pasquill-Gifford-Holland dispersion model was used as a basis for these estimations. Calculations were made for six different stability classes and ground level concentrations, and at various distances from the point source of emission. 

This chapter describes the aerodynamic principles, models, and equations that govern the flow and the contaminant presence and transport in a designated volume of a work room. The purpose of local ventilation is to control the transport of contaminants at or near the source of emission, thus minimizing the contaminants in the workplace air. 

In the pulp and paper industry, the main gas emissions are from the pulp production. The main sources of emission are in the soda recovery boiler, lime kiln, evaporation plant, and bark combustion boiler.

The process of coke making emits particulate matters, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. The various sources of emissions include the following ... 

Stored solid manures acts as a source of N20 production/consumption and emission. Covering heaped manure shows reduction in NH3 emissions but has no effect on N20 emission, while other studies showed that both were reduced. The addition of chopped straw reduced N20 emission by 32% from the small scale of cattle manure. [54], Slurry or liquid manure with no cover showed negligible N20 release, while slurry with straw cover might act as a source of emission [55]. N20 emission occurs following manure application to soil [56], Various factors that affect N20 release from soil include (i) type of manure, (ii) soil type, (iii) manure composition, (iv) measurement period, (v) timing of manure application, (vi) amount of manure applied, and (vii) method of application. 

The inventory results in 2010 showed that agriculture in Vietnam is the largest source of emissions with 65 million tons of C02 equivalent (43.1%), followed by energy sector (35%) (Fig. 10) [5],... 

This manuscript will look at the targets for CTL processes, especially in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, with the aim of identifying the major sources of emissions and ways in which these can be reduced.

Wastewater, which is a basic source of emissions, can be categorized in five ways (1) wastes containing a principal raw material or product (2) by-products produced during reactions, (3) spills, leaks, wash downs, vessel cleanouts, or point overflows, (4) cooling tower and boiler blowdown, steam condensate, water treatment wastes, and general washing water and (5) surface runoff. 

Air emissions from a petroleum distillation unit include emissions from the combustion of fuels in process heaters and boilers, fugitive emissions of volatile constituents in the crude oil and fractions, and emissions from process vents. The primary source of emissions is combustion of fuels in the crude preheat furnace and in boilers that produce steam for process heat and stripping. When operating in an optimum condition and burning cleaner fuels (e.g., natural gas, refinery gas), these heating units create relatively low emissions of sulfur oxides, (SO c), nitrogen oxides (NO c), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), particulate... 

The classes of major primary pollutants that are important in urban areas are listed in Table 2-1. The pollutants most responsible for oxidant formation in the air are the nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and carbon monoxide. The internal-combustion engine is a major source of emission of these primary pollutants, although many stationary sources. 

For purposes of characterization, emission sources are generally divided broadly into stationary and mobile or transportation sources. Stationary sources are further divided into point and area emitters. Typical point sources must include petroleum refineries and electric power plants. Commercial solvent emission and gasoline marketing emission may generally be represented as area sources. A third category has been defined recently—indirect sources—that takes into account hybrid sources like sports arenas and shopping centers. These have fixed locations, but the traffic that is generated by or attracted to such a facility constitutes the source of emission that is combined with the emission of the facility itself. 

Air pollution control equipment used on liquid formulation units typically involves exhaust systems at all potential sources of emission. Storage and holding tanks, mix tanks, and...
