Abstract

A new indicator is proposed to det. whether tropospheric O3 prodn. in a specific area is limited by volatile org. compds. (VOC) or NOx. This indicator, tVOCOH/tNOxOH, describes the ratio of OH- lifetime vs. losses by reaction with VOC and NOx. Whereas tNOxOH can be obtained by conventional measurements, the new pump and probe OH approach makes it possible to also obtain tVOCOH. Indicator values above a threshold value of 0.2 +- 50% are representative of NOx-satd. conditions, where an increase of NOx emissions causes lower O3 prodn. For values

Emissions trading

Emissions trading is a market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing the emissions of pollutants. The concept is also known as cap and trade (CAT) or emissions trading scheme (ETS). Carbon emission trading for and other greenhouse gases has been introduced in China, the European Union and other countries as a key tool for climate change mitigation. Other schemes include sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.

Vehicle emissions control

Vehicle emissions control is the study of reducing the emissions produced by motor vehicles, especially internal combustion engines. Emissions of many air pollutants have been shown to have variety of negative effects on public health and the natural environment. Emissions that are principal pollutants of concern include: Hydrocarbons (HC) – A class of burned or partially burned fuel, hydrocarbons are toxins. Hydrocarbons are a major contributor to smog, which can be a major problem in urban areas.

Greenhouse gas emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions (abbreviated as GHG emissions) from human activities strengthen the greenhouse effect, contributing to climate change. Carbon dioxide (), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change. The largest emitters are China followed by the US, although the United States has higher emissions per capita. The main producers fueling the emissions globally are large oil and gas companies.
