Human Health Risk Assessment for Petroleum Refining Industry of the Remaining Air Toxics after MACT I Emissions Reductions
… included compiling vertical and fugitive emissions from 2002 National Emissions Inventory for sources inside two facilities in Louisiana, 'Motiva Norco' and 'Valero St. Charles' refineries. Six cases were modeled applying EPA criteria, where cancer risks are 'low' if the probability is. …

AI-Based Framework for Identifying Wood Burning Appliances through Chimney Recognition
… of survey-based inventories such as the U.S. National Emissions Inventory (NEI). To address this limitation, we proposed a novel computer vision framework that leverages visible chimney features as proxies for wood stove usage. Using data from drones, vehicle-based videos across urban and …

Mercury emissions inventories in the Lake Superior states
… the Great Lakes. While there are many local, national, and global efforts to track emissions, one key complication to accurately estimating atmospheric mercury is the disagreement between the two national EPA inventories, the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) and Toxics Release Inventory …

The air quality impact of aviation in future-year emissions scenarios
… of US Landing and Take-Off (LTO) aviation emissions. In addition, this thesis characterizes the sensitivity of these impacts to variations in the projection of non-aviation anthropogenic emissions (referred to as background emissions). Finally, the implication of a future-year background …

Characterization of Urban Air Pollutant Emissions by Eddy Covariance using a Mobile Flux Laboratory
… the US are developed largely from estimates of emissions, some highly uncertain, rather than actual measurements. Improved knowledge based on measurements of real-world emissions is needed to increase the effectiveness of these strategies. Consequently, the objectives of this research were to …

Improvement of MM5 Model Forecast by Ingesting Newly Archived Satellite Data and Estimation of Forest Fire Emissions Contribution to Ozone Peaks Using CMAQ Modeling System
… The Fifth-Generation Penn State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) was used to prepare meteorological data for the Models-3/Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system to simulate air quality in the context of atmospheric chemistry. …
