The impact of detailed spatial and temporal allocation of unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) NOx emissions on predicted ozone formation was examined using hydraulic fracturing emissions in the Eagle Ford Shale region of Texas as a case study. Hydraulic fracturing occurs at specific well sites, lasting only 1-2 weeks prior to production. Four scenarios for spatial and temporal allocation of hydraulic fracturing NOx emissions were developed. In one scenario, NOx emissions were evenly distributed to all active wells in the Eagle Ford region, with continuous emissions throughout the year. In other scenarios, NOx emissions from hydraulic fracturing engines in Karnes County were allocated only to fractured wells, with durations ranging from 2 days to 2 weeks. In the month of August, predicted daily maximum of 8 h average (MDA8) O concentrations were consistently 6, 8, and 10 ppb higher over wide regions for the two-week, one-week, and two-day emission periods, respectively, compared to the annual county level distribution, demonstrating that detailed spatial and temporal allocation of NOx emissions in regions like the Eagle Ford Shale, with abundant biogenic VOCs, impacts predicted ozone formation.

Landfill stale waste (LSW) poses considerable environmental issues, especially concerning methane emissions and the ecosystem contamination. This research investigates the potential for energy recovery and the emission profiles of LSW combustibles via steam gasification at various temperatures (700, 750, 800, and 850 °C) and combustion at 850 °C, utilizing a fixed-bed reactor and TG-DSC analysis. Our findings indicate that steam gasification conducted at 850 °C yields a high-quality syngas with a hydrogen concentration of 46.

Fine particulate matter (PM) pollution is a critical air quality concern which poses threats to public health. Despite strict air pollution control measures implemented in China since 2013, PM exceedances and region-wide PM episodes are still frequently observed in the Sichuan Basin (SCB) located in southwestern China. Here, we examine ambient PM pollution within the SCB from 2013 to 2020, focusing on emission sources, trends, and health outcomes.

Atmospheric chemical transport models (CTMs) are widely used in air quality management, but still have large biases in simulations. Accurately and efficiently identifying key sources of simulation biases is crucial for model improvement. However, traditional approaches, such as sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, are computationally intensive and inefficient, as they require multiple model runs.

Owing to the complexity of municipal solid waste (MSW), flue gas composition and operating conditions, it is challenging to predict pollutant emissions accurately and control them intelligently in the MSW incineration process. This study uses a 750 t/d large-scale grate-type MSW incinerator as the research object. Based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) model, collaborative prediction (co-prediction) of multiple pollutants (HCl, SO, NO, and PM) emissions from MSW incinerator flue gas was achieved.
