Impact of biogenic terpene emissions from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica napus</Emphasis> on tropospheric ozone over saxony (Germany)

INTRODUCTION: The role of biogenic emissions in tropospheric ozone production is currently under discussion and major aspects are not well understood yet. This study aims towards the estimation of the influence of biogenic emissions on tropospheric ozone concentrations over Saxony in general and of biogenic emissions from brassica napus in special. MODELLING TOOLS: The studies are performed by utilizing a coupled numerical modelling system consisting of the meteorological model METRAS and the chemistry transport model MUSCAT. For the chemical part, the Euro-RADM algorithm is used. EMISSIONS: Anthropogenic and biogenic emissions are taken into account. The anthropogenic emissions are introduced by an emission inventory. Biogenic emissions, VOC and NO, are calculated within the chemical transport model MUSCAT at each time step and in each grid cell depending on land use type and on the temperature. The emissions of hydrocarbons from forest areas as well as biogenic NO especially from agricultural grounds are considered. Also terpene emissions from brassica napus fields are estimated. SIMULATION SETUP AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS: The simulations were performed over an area with an extension of 160 x 140 km2 which covers the main parts of Saxony and neighboring areas of Brandenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt and Thuringia. Summer smog with high ozone concentrations can be expected during high pressure conditions on hot summer days. Typical meteorological conditions for such cases were introduced in an conceptual way. RESULTS: It is estimated that biogenic emissions change tropospheric ozone concentrations in a noticeable way (up to 15% to 20%) and, therefore, should not be neglected in studies about tropospheric ozone. Emissions from brassica napus do have a moderate potential to enhance tropospheric ozone concentrations, but emissions are still under consideration and, therefore, results vary to a high degree. CONCLUSIONS: Summing up, the effect of brassica napus terpene emissions on ozone concentrations is noticeable, but not too pronounced. The results give a preliminary estimate on what the effect due to brassica napus emissions could be until better parameterizations can be derived from measurements.     

Carboxylic acids in the troposphere, occurrence, sources, and sinks: A review

Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous and important components of the troposphere; they are currently measured in different environments. They are thought to have several sources comprising primary biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, hydrocarbons gas-phase oxidations, and some carbonyl compounds aqueous-phase oxidations. In the present review we make a synthesis of the concentrations of low molecular weight carboxylic acids in tropospheric aqueous and gaseous phases and in aerosol particles for different environments. We also successively examine the major sources of carboxylic acids and discuss their relative contribution to tropospheric concentrations for various environments as well as the principal sinks of these compounds.     

The prevention principle

Environmentally sound manufacture does not have its source only in developing and improving the techniques for treating solid, liquid and gaseous wastes at the end of the production process. Our experience shows that more effort and capital budgets must be devoted to developing preventive measures. Although the treatment techniques have become very advanced and meet ecological requirements to a very high degree, they are now reaching the limits of their technological and economic feasibility. Environmental protection at the production site has undergone structural change in recent years. The emphasis has shifted to preventive techniques which affect the production process itself, avoiding the emergence of waste at the “end of the pipe” by preventing its formation or recycling it straight away. This integrated approach is in harmony with the demands of sustainable production. The functions of in-process environmental protection measures need to be looked at as a whole from the points of view of both environmental protection and cost-effectiveness. Some integrated methods are described.     

渗滤液灌溉土壤N_2O释放及氨挥发的研究

选用2种供试土壤(S1和S2),通过培养试验研究了渗滤液投加土壤后N2O释放、氨挥发及矿物氮的转化,并讨论了土壤理化性质对上述过程的影响.土壤pH值较大程度地决定了氨的挥发,仅投加渗滤液的碱性土S1在培养期的前5 d内测到氨挥发,通过氨挥发共损失了约3.0‰的渗滤液氮.投加同等含量的渗滤液后,不同土壤可导致N2O释放量近20倍的差异(P<0.01).土壤含水率(WFPS)影响了土壤中硝酸盐氮的生成速率,从而制约了N2O释放通量的高低.与WFPS为46%时相比,投加蒸馏水的土壤S1、投加渗滤液的土壤S1和土壤S2在WFPS为70%的条件下N2O的释放通量均值分别提高了6.5(P>0.05)、1.8(P>0.05)和2.2倍(P<0.05).渗滤液投加土壤在10 d培养期内,土壤S1和S2因N2O释放分别损失了41.1‰和2.3‰的渗滤液氮.为此,控制灌溉土壤的含水率(<70%WFPS),并选用酸性土壤可有效地控制渗滤液灌溉下N20的释放和氨挥发.     

基于发动机活动的集装箱港作机械排放清单研究

随着我国集装箱港口吞吐量持续增长,港区大气污染物排放亦日益增加,港作机械等非道路移动源排放更逐渐成为公众关注的焦点。借鉴OFFROAD模型的基本方法,通过调查分析集装箱港区作业机械的保有量、活动水平和设备参数等,修正排放因子,采用"自下而上"基于集装箱港作机械发动机活动水平的动力法建立集装箱港作机械大气污染物排放清单。并以南京港龙潭集装箱港区(NPLC)为案例,构建排放清单。结果表明:2014年NPLC港作机械排放总量为PM_(10) 4.25 t、PM_(2.5) 3.91 t、NO_x 82.98 t、SO_x 1.06 t、CO 23.84 t和HC16.39 t;集装箱拖车为最大排放贡献源,NO_x为高值排放污染物;与港区其他排放源相比,港作机械为颗粒物质(PM)与碳氢化合物(HC)的最大排放源。相较NPLC 2013年基于燃油消耗的研究,基于活动的排放量较低。     

中国交通碳排放及影响因素时空异质性

选取30个省级行政单位作为空间单元,采用探索性空间数据分析（ESDA）方法对交通碳排放时空分布格局进行研究,同时考虑空间单元的差异性,构建地理加权回归（GWR）模型分析交通碳排放影响因素的时空异质性.研究发现：2000~2015年交通碳排放量呈现显著的空间聚类特征,聚类趋势逐年加强.双变量空间自相关指数为0.165~0.274,显著性水平介于0.016~0.045,表明交通碳排放同机动车保有量、GDP、货运周转量及客运周转量之间存在显著的空间正相关关系.GWR模型的R²在0.783~0.865之间,而OLS模型的R²在0.675~0.844之间,且GWR模型的AICc值均低于OLS模型的,说明GWR模型的拟合结果明显优于OLS模型,可以更好地解释交通碳排放的影响机制.GWR的回归结果表明碳排放的影响因素存在明显的时空异质性特征,其中GDP是主要的推动因素,部分地区回归系数高达0.91,2000年影响程度由东向西递减,而2005、2010和2015年由北向南递减.客运周转量起到关键的抑制作用,影响程度由东北向西南递减.因此建议应当充分考虑碳排放影响因素的时空异质性特征,制定差异化的碳减排政策.

在一台直列4缸增压中冷电控单体泵柴油机的进气道上增加甲醇喷射装置,实现柴油甲醇二元燃料燃烧(DMDF)模式.利用废气分析仪对其主要气体排放进行测量,研究在排气管上加装的柴油颗粒氧化催化转化器结构参数对尾气催化效率的影响,试验结果表明:POC长度越长,对碳烟、THC、和未燃甲醇的转化效果越好,甲醇替代率为30%、POC长度为100 mm时,对碳烟、CO、THC和未燃甲醇的平均净化效率分别为15.00%、91.61%、75.56%、66.96%,长度增加至200 mm后,上述效率明显提高,分别提高到30.37%、99.29%、67.55%、95.44%;POC孔密度增加,POC对碳烟、CO及未燃甲醇的转化效率有小幅增加,甲醇替代率为30%时,孔密度从200目增加到300目,对碳烟、CO和未燃甲醇的催化效率分别从19.61%、94.66%、86.07%提高到23.06%、97.44%和88.56%;POC结构参数的改变对NO_x的转化效率影响不大.     

成都市工业源重点VOC排放行业排放清单及空间分布特征

以2013年为基准,采用排放系数法对成都市区域范围内工业源的VOC排放进行了核算,利用GIS工具构建成都市1 km×1 km网格化排放清单,分析了VOCs的空间分布特征.研究结果表明:2013年成都市工业源VOC排放总量为(5.77±3.35)×10~4t,其中溶剂使用源排放(3.09±4.93)×10~4t,工艺过程源排放(2.35±3.82)×10~4t,化石燃料燃烧源排放(0.21±0.61)×10~4t,生物质燃烧源排放(0.12±0.48)×10~4t.从工业源VOC排放的空间分布特征上看,都江堰、郫县、温江和崇州是最主要的贡献区县,涉及的排污企业类型主要包括钢铁、化工和水泥行业.     

中国大气污染物重点行业减排分析——基于假设抽取法和价格传导影响系数

以中国各行业SO₂、NO_x和烟粉尘的排放数据为基础,利用假设抽取法和投入产出价格模型,计算了各行业的需求排放、产出排放和净转移量,模拟了不同情景下重点行业减排后对整体行业需求排放的影响,并计算了重点减排行业污染成本内部化造成的价格传导影响系数.结果显示,2014年电力热力燃气供应业、非金属矿制品业和金属矿采选及冶炼延压业这3个重点行业大气污染物净转出量最大;在这3个行业同时减排15%的情景下,SO₂、NO_x和烟粉尘这3种污染物的减排量可以分别达到中国“十三五”节能减排目标的62.12%、72.65%和67.11%;电力热力燃气供应业作为大气污染物减排影响最大的行业,如果将其污染成本内部化,其生产产品的价格会对其余行业造成不同程度的影响,其中,对水生产和供应业、金属制品业产品、金属矿采选及冶炼延压业和非金属矿制品业的价格影响较大,总价格传导影响系数分别为0.272、0.151、0.148和0.131.因此,建立合理的大气污染物减排成本分摊机制一方面可以补贴基础转出行业的治理成本,另一方面可以通过价格机制激励其他行业提高技术水平,减少对电力等基础工业产品的需求.     

基于DMSP/OLS数据的区域碳排放时空动态研究

选取IPCC碳排放核算方法并基于能源统计数据,核算了我国大陆30个省市的能源消耗碳排放量,利用纠正后的DMSP/OLS夜间灯光数据与相应空间单元的碳排放量进行回归分析,反演出1km×1km栅格的电力消耗碳排放量并分析其在地级市尺度上的时空变化.核算出2005年、2010年和2013年能源消耗排放总量分别为57.02,82.28和93.26亿t,其中电力碳排放量分别为23.03,35.62和42.07亿t.结果表明：校正后的DMSP/OLS夜间灯光数据能更好地估算碳排放,其DN总值与统计的省级能源消耗排放量、电力消耗排放量均存在较强的相关关系;整体而言,发达地区能源消耗排放量大但强度比较低.
