“…Thermal energy generation process requires combustion of fuel (coal, oil or natural gas), which emits toxic air pollutants into the atmosphere that degrades the environment and affects human health (Rosenbaum et al 2008). Several researchers have studied the environmental damage caused by burning of coal and natural gas as a fuel for electricity generation by life cycle assessment (LCA) approach (Phumpradab et al 2009;Odeh and Cockerill 2008;Van Zelm et al 2008;Walvekar and Gurjar 2013). Koornneef et al (2008) have studied the environmental impacts of three pulverised coal-fired electricity supply chains from cradle to grave using LCA approach.…”

“…Ozone, a secondary pollutant that is formed by photochemical reactions involving VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NO x ), has direct adverse effects on human health and can damage agricultural crops (Finlayson-Pitts, 1997;Krupa et al, 2001). Urban VOCs can also contribute to formation of particulate pollution that has significant detrimental effects on human health (Brunekreef and Forsberg, 2005;van Zelm et al, 2008). VOCs and particulate emissions related to human activity and the subsequent formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) have the potential to affect climate (Ramanathan et al, 2007).…”

Measurements of volatile organic compounds at a suburban ground site (T1) in Mexico City during the MILAGRO 2006 campaign: measurement comparison, emission ratios, and source attribution

Abstract. Volatile organic compound (VOC) mixing ratios were measured with two different instruments at the T1 ground site in Mexico City during the Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations (MILAGRO) campaign in March of 2006. A gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) quantified 18 light alkanes, alkenes and acetylene while a proton-transfer-reaction iontrap mass spectrometer (PIT-MS) quantified 12 VOC species including oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs) and aromatics. A GC separation system was used in conjunction with the PIT-MS (GC-PIT-MS) to evaluate PIT-MS measurements and to aid in the identification of unknown VOCs. The VOC measurements are also compared to simultaneous canister samples and to two independent proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometers (PTR-MS) deployed on a mobile and an airborne platform during MILAGRO. VOC diurnal cycles demonstrate the large influence of vehicle traffic and liquid propane gas (LPG) emissions during the night and photochemical processing during the afternoon. Emission ratios for VOCs and OVOCs relative to CO are derived from early-morning Correspondence to: J. A. de Gouw (joost.degouw@noaa.gov) measurements. Average emission ratios for non-oxygenated species relative to CO are on average a factor of ∼2 higher than measured for US cities. Emission ratios for OVOCs are estimated and compared to literature values the northeastern US and to tunnel studies in California. Positive matrix factorization analysis (PMF) is used to provide insight into VOC sources and processing. Three PMF factors were distinguished by the analysis including the emissions from vehicles, the use of liquid propane gas and the production of secondary VOCs + long-lived species. Emission ratios to CO calculated from the results of PMF analysis are compared to emission ratios calculated directly from measurements. The total PIT-MS signal is summed to estimate the fraction of identified versus unidentified VOC species.

“…La exposición a los mismos puede acarrear consecuencias que van desde leves efectos en el sistema respiratorio, a alergias o incluso mortalidad prematura (van Zelm et al, 2008;Wu et al, 2012). Pero el ozono, además, causa daños en las plantas, disminuye el rendimiento de los cultivos (Dingenen et al, 2009;Felzer et al, 2007, Fishman et al, 2010, el crecimiento de los bosques (Gottardini et al, 2010, Loibl et al, 2004 y daña los materiales (EEA, 2015).…”

1, antonio.moreno@uam.es 2 RESUMEN La calidad del aire está determinada por un alto número de componentes cuya presencia e interacciones en ámbitos como las ciudades resultan de singular trascendencia para la vida humana. En este artículo se pretende estudiar dos conocidos contaminantes, el dióxido de nitrógeno y el ozono troposférico, con el objetivo de explorar y desvelar la forma e intensidad de la hipotética relación entre ambos cuando se analiza espacialmente. A tal fin, dada la limitación de la información disponible, se ha adoptado un doble enfoque: analizar, por un lado, los datos registrados en las estaciones de superficie y, por otro, los estimados mediante interpolación espacial, una de las técnicas usuales para "conocer" dicha polución en todo el espacio urbano. Ello permite confrontar y controlar mejor los resultados mutuos. Experimentalmente se han examinado datos de tres ciudades españolas, Madrid, Barcelona y Sevilla, utilizando una pluralidad de técnicas estadísticas, gráficas y cartográficas, apoyadas en sistemas de información geográfica. Los resultados alcanzados muestran que el NO 2 y el O 3 exhiben patrones espaciales contrapuestos y que entre ambos existe una dependencia espacial, tanto en los datos observados, como en los datos estimados. No obstante, en algunos casos la forma y significación de las relaciones espaciales no ha podido quedar claramente determinada, en gran medida por el escaso número de datos observados. La coherencia de los resultados en ambas aproximaciones posibilita así un cierto optimismo a la hora de elaborar caracterizaciones y diagnósticos de la atmósfera urbana con modelos espaciales de este tipo.Palabras clave: interpolación espacial, SIG, contaminación atmosférica, dióxido de nitrógeno, ozono, Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla.
