PCDD/Fs and PAHs compositions and source reconciliations in the basin area of central Taiwan by Chen-Jui Liang, Yi-Shan Liu, Jeng-Jong Liang

“…To better understand the environmental effects of ambient polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), this study uses a source-receptor approach to characterize the environmental effects of 17 PCDD/Fs (1 tetra-, 1 penta-, 3 hexa-, 1 hepta-, 1 octa-chlorodibenzodioxins and 1 tetra-, 2 penta-, 4 hexa-, 2 hepta-, 1 octa-chlorodibenzofurans) and 16 PAHs (NAP, ACY, ACE, FLO, PHE, ANT, FLA, PYR, CHR, BaA, BbF, BkF, DahA, BaP, IcdP, and BghiP) from various stationary and fugitive sources in the basin of central Taiwan. …”

Identifying the sources driving observed PM_2.5 temporal variability over Halifax, Nova Scotia, during BORTAS-B by M. D. Gibson, J. R. Pierce, D. Waugh, J. S. Kuchta, L. Chisholm, T. J. Duck, J. T. Hopper, S. Beauchamp, G. H. King, J. E. Franklin, W. R. Leaitch, A. J. Wheeler, Z. Li, G. A. Gagnon, P. I. Palmer

“…The US EPA Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) receptor model was used to determine the average mass (percentage) source contribution over the 45 days, which was estimated to be as follows: long-range transport (LRT) pollution: 1.75 μg m⁻³ (47%); LRT pollution marine mixture: 1.0 μg m⁻³ (27.9%); vehicles: 0.49 μg m⁻³ (13.2%); fugitive dust: 0.23 μg m⁻³ (6.3%); ship emissions: 0.13 μg m⁻³ (3.4%); and refinery: 0.081 μg m⁻³ (2.2%). …”

Sustained methane emissions from China after 2012 despite declining coal production and rice-cultivated area by Jianxiong Sheng, Rachel Tunnicliffe, Anita L Ganesan, Joannes D Maasakkers, Lu Shen, Ronald G Prinn, Shaojie Song, Yuzhong Zhang, Tia Scarpelli, A Anthony Bloom, Matthew Rigby, Alistair J Manning, Robert J Parker, Hartmut Boesch, Xin Lan, Bo Zhang, Minghao Zhuang, Xi Lu

“…This trend was slowing down at a statistically significant rate of -0.1 ± 0.04 Tg CH _4 yr ^−3 . We find that this decrease in growth rate can in part be attributed to a decline in China’s coal production. …”
