The previous studies have made notable contributions to these aspects and it is necessary to review the achievements. Here, the characteristics of traffic emissions and new particle formation (NPF) events/processes and their effects on urban UFP are summarized mainly based on the latest progresses. The constantly improved techniques of measuring UFP have played a vital role for knowing the sources and impacts of UFP. Meanwhile, the emissions inventories, dispersion models, and receptor models generally perform better when working together and using high resolution input and corrected algorithms. Besides, the interaction between UFP and climate is discussed mainly by linking radiation, cloud condensation nuclei, particle deposition, and the environmental conditions required for nucleation processes. Although for urban UFP, there are consensuses that traffic emissions and nucleation processes are two main sources and UFP and climate interact mainly via radiation and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), there are many other crucial tasks for future and this work lists seven of them. They involve, scientifically, how much other sources such as industrial and regional sources mix with traffic emissions and nucleation processes in source contributions and how primary pollutants collaborate with UFP (aerosols) in aerosol-climate interactions; and engineeringly, how to improve the integration of the instruments and the instrument customization services according to actual situations. These progresses and future perspectives would help in more accurately quantifying the contributions of emissions and nucleation processes to UFP and better evaluating the impacts of UFP. Despite our efforts, knowledge on the main sources and impacts of urban UFP is limited and detailed solutions for the future tasks are missing here, which need joint efforts from UFP and related fields.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37150,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment: X","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100221"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43512714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to better understand the use of micrometeorological techniques for this purpose. Methane emissions were estimated from a large tailings pond (surface area &gt;11 km<sup>2</sup>) at an oil sands mine site using datasets collected by different groups over a nine-month period. Emissions were calculated with eddy-covariance (EC) and inverse dispersion modelling (IDM) techniques. Three different IDM calculations were made using methane concentrations measured with either fixed-point sensors (IDM-LGR), a long-path laser (IDM-GL), or an unmanned aerial vehicle (IDM-UAV). Emissions were also estimated from a flux-chamber (FC) survey. Although the temporal overlap between the different datasets was limited, the results indicate substantial differences in emission-rate estimates. During a summer interval the EC, IDM-LGR, and IDM-GL estimates were 19%, 41%, and 56% of the FC-estimated rate, respectively. The overall ordering was EC ≈ IDM-UAV &lt; IDM-LGR &lt; IDM-GL &lt; FC. Differences in the emission estimates appear to be explained by the physical location of the measurement footprints. The EC and IDM-UAV footprints were comparably small and confined to lower emitting areas of the pond, while the larger IDM-LGR and IDM-GL footprints included higher emitting areas. It would seem sensible to prefer the larger footprint IDM approaches for this large pond. However, the large IDM footprints necessitated a complicated analysis to remove the influence of an adjacent methane source in the calculations. This study illustrates the importance of understanding the footprint of micrometeorological techniques when quantifying emissions and the complications that arise when the footprint does not match the source area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37150,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment: X","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100219"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45631756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This laboratory study investigates the effects of PODE<sub>3</sub>–diesel blended fuels (10, 20, and 30 vol% of PODE<sub>3</sub> mixed with diesel, denoted as P10, P20, and P30, respectively) on diesel engine emissions at 30% and 60% engine loads. Black carbon (BC) and organic aerosol (OA) were characterized in real time by a combination of a soot-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS) and a seven-wavelength aethalometer. Our results show that PODE<sub>3</sub> can significantly reduce both OA and BC emissions at both engine loads, with P20 producing the largest total PM mass reductions (&gt;84%). The changes in the contribution of refractory oxygenated fragments to BC mass (i.e., C<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup>/C<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> and C<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup>/C<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>) indicate that PODE<sub>3</sub> can reduce the functionality of soot surface/nanostructure. This is the first work showing that PODE<sub>3</sub> can affect the mixing state of BC and OA in diesel engine exhaust. Increasing PODE<sub>3</sub> blended volume can reduce the total fraction contribution of particle types that were composed of notably amounts of BC by mass. Furthermore, clustering analysis of single-particle data can identify two OA-dominated particle classes that were dominated by hydrocarbon fragments (C<sub>x</sub>H<sub>y</sub><sup>+</sup>), and one of them had higher signal contribution from high molecular weight compounds. Lastly, the absorption Ångström exponent of BC (AAE<sub>BC</sub>) can be enhanced with PODE<sub>3</sub> blended volume for both engine loads, and brown carbon (i.e., a light absorbing fraction of OA) can contribute up to ∼5% to the total aerosol absorption at the wavelength of 370 nm. Overall, this work provides insights into the potential impacts of PODE<sub>n</sub> blended fuel application on the chemical and optical properties of BC and OA emitted from diesel engine combustion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37150,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment: X","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100216"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49817750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
