Within this scope, the effects of foreign trade and investments on environmental pollution in BRICMT (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, and Turkey) countries were analyzed with the Fourier Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) stationarity test, Fourier Bootstrap augumented autoregressive distributive lag (AARDL) method, and Fourier Bootstrap Toda-Yamamoto causality test for the period 1980–2021 in this study. According to the findings, the pollution haven hypothesis is valid since increasing exports and foreign investment in China increased environmental pollution both in the short term and the long term. While environmental pollution increased in China, Brazil, Mexico, and Turkey with increasing imports, it decreased in Russia. The short-term impact of imports on rising environmental pollution is also valid for Brazil. Since foreign investment increases environmental pollution in Brazil and Mexico in the long run, the pollution haven hypothesis is valid in these countries. In Russia and Mexico, where there are findings that foreign investment reduces environmental pollution in the short term, the pollution halo hypothesis is valid in the short run. According to the Fourier Bootstrap Toda-Yamamoto causality test results, it was determined that there is causality from exports and imports to environmental pollution in China and India and from foreign investment to environmental pollution in Russia and Brazil.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139757428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aircraft emissions during landing and take-off cycle (LTO) influence air quality in and around the airport, and depending on the number of aircraft operations and location of the airport, this influence may be significant. AERMOD (v22112) incorporates a variety of conventional source types to characterize the intended emissions source, leaving the question of which conventional source type(s) best characterizes aircraft activities across the four modes of LTO cycle, unanswered. Currently, the publicly released version of FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (version 3e) models aircraft emissions as a set of AREA sources for all flight segments. A research version of AEDT allows users to model aircraft sources—both fixed wing and rotorcraft—as a series of VOLUME sources in AERMOD. However, both source treatments do not account for plume rise of aircraft jet exhaust. This paper compares AERMOD’s performance in describing SO<sub>2</sub> concentrations associated with airport sources by comparing model results from the two source options during the summer campaign of the Air Quality Source Apportionment study conducted at the Los Angeles International Airport. We conclude that both VOLUME source and AREA treatments overestimate the highest observed SO<sub>2</sub> concentrations despite not accounting for background sources. The VOLUME source option reduces this overestimation by using a higher initial plume spread than the AREA option does, and through the inclusion of meander. Our results suggest the need to include the plume rise of jet exhaust when using AERMOD for airport air quality studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11869-024-01517-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139757434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emissions of these pollutants lead to the formation of fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) and an increased risk of premature mortality for exposed populations. Here, we use a nested version of the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model (0.5° × 0.625° resolution) for India to estimate reductions in PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations that could have been achieved by implementing existing emission control technologies like flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) and/or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). We quantify the associated burden of disease using the integrated exposure response (IER) and global exposure mortality model (GEMM) functions and compare the costs of premature mortality to those for FGD installation. Model simulations for 2010 suggest installation of FGD would have reduced mean annual PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations across India by 8%, compared to 3% with SCR installation, and 11% with both FGD and SCR. A 7–28% reduction in PM<sub>2.5</sub> was simulated for local communities closest to CFPPs (same model grid cell), leading to up to 17% reduction in annual premature mortality. Overall, more than 0.21–0.48 million premature deaths would have been avoided over a 10-year period if FGD had been implemented on all CFPPs, compared to 0.09–0.21 million with SCR and 0.22–0.72 million with both FGD and SCR. Benefits associated with such actions are approximately $18.1–$604 billion USD per year, which is equivalent to ~ 0.44 to 10% of India’s GDP. These results suggest that monetary benefits from avoided premature mortality far outweigh the capital and operational costs of FGD and/or SCR installation of $19.5 billion and/or $32.8 billion per year, respectively. This information is essential because the high costs of installation and operation are often given as reasons for delaying installation and commissioning. We conclude that policy actions to control air pollution from CFPPs are economically justifiable.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139757272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, an attempt is made to retrieve the high-resolution (30 m) AOT using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (L8-OLI) imagery for Pune, Maharashtra, from the years 2014 to 2021. For the atmospheric corrections and better spatiotemporal resolution, the dark target spectrum-based Image Corrections for Atmospheric Effects (iCOR) algorithm was executed. The year 2021 showed the highest mean AOT value at the Pashan location (18.537° N, 73.805° E) in Pune, India. Also, seasonal analysis (winter and summer) indicates that the mean AOT in the winter gradually increases every year. The AOT retrieved using L8-OLI with iCOR and AOT retrieved from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) in situ monitoring station (± 30 min) at 440 nm showed <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.76, <i>r</i> = 0.83, and RMSE = 0.1012. From this, it is summarized that for L8-OLI images, the iCOR algorithm performs well for the atmospheric correction by retrieving AOT at high spatial resolution with minimum cloud cover.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139647569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
