This book was released on 2012 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a guide for airport operators on effective procedures for using air quality models in combination with on-site measurement equipment to prepare a comprehensive assessment of air pollutant concentrations in the vicinity of airports. It is designed to help practitioners generate information desired by local communities as they seek to develop more detailed local air quality assessments as well as respond to regulatory needs, including those of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The guide provides in-depth information on the capabilities and limitations of modeling and measurement tools, adding to an increasing knowledge base concerning preparation of air quality assessments near airports. Starting with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) regulatory EDMS/AEDT, it describes how best to use available models, in combination with potential on-site monitoring programs, to conduct air quality assessments. Detailed information on the monitoring campaigns and modeling assessments is included in a set of appendices that accompany the guide. The appendices (available in CRP-CD-115) describe the models tested and the various equipment used to collect data, the rationale behind the selection of Washington Dulles International Airport as a case study application, and the components and steps involved in the measurement campaigns, and include an assessment of the various model outputs--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air quality has been a major environmental concern for many years. Recently the issue of airport emissions has presented growing concerns and is being studied in much more depth. Airport emissions come from a variety of point, line and area sources, making emissions modeling for airports very complex and more involved. Accurate air quality models, specific to airport needs, are required to properly analyze this complex array of air pollution sources created by airports. Accurate air quality models are needed to plan for increased growth of current airports and address concerns over proposed new ones.

Book Synopsis Development of Techniques for Rapidly Assessing the Local Air Quality Impacts of Airports by : Gideon Luther Lee
Download or read book Development of Techniques for Rapidly Assessing the Local Air Quality Impacts of Airports written by Gideon Luther Lee and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combustion of fossil fuels for aviation activity harms air quality and human health near airports through the production of PM2.5. Currently, dispersion models can assess these local-scale (distances ~10 km) impacts, calculating long-term (annual) average concentrations of PM2.5. However, these models typically require hours to complete an analysis for one site, hindering their use for assessing local-scale impacts over national or global extents. In this thesis, approximations are used to develop and apply the Rapid Dispersion Modeling System (RDMS) for calculating annual average concentrations of PM2.5. RDMS accuracy and speed were compared to a preexisting dispersion model, the AMS-EPA Regulatory Model (AERMOD). Meteorological, emissions, runway, and taxiway/terminal data for simulations were obtained from various sources. The RDMS was applied to obtain local-scale PM2.5 concentrations and exposures for the year 2006 for 191 U.S. airports that accounted for 95% of U.S. air passenger traffic. The resulting local-scale PM2.5 concentrations were combined with results from the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) regional-scale model to account for primary and secondary PM2.5. Cases accounting for both landing-takeoff (LTO)-only and full-flight emissions were considered. Finally, premature mortalities at both regional and local scales were estimated by applying a concentration-response function to the combined concentrations. On average, RDMS over-predicts AERMOD concentrations by ~5% but reduces total simulation time by ~99.5% when only the rapid dispersion calculation (RDC) is considered. Including the calculation of dispersion parameters required by the RDC, RDMS saves ~95% of the simulation time required by AERMOD. Over all airports at the local scale, RDMS-modeled concentrations of PM2.5 accounted for 38-66 premature mortalities, 43-65% of total local-scale premature mortalities for the LTO case and 8-13% for the full-flight case. At the regional scale, RDMS-modeled PM2.5 accounted for 34-50% of premature mortalities for the LTO case and 4-7% for the full-flight case. Inclusion of RDMS-modeled local-scale variations increased local-scale premature mortality estimates by 16-27% for the LTO case and 1-2% for the full-flight case. Inclusion of local-scale variations increased regional premature mortality estimates by 8-12% for the LTO case and 1% for the full-flight case.

Download or read book Air Dispersion Modeling for the INL Application for a Synthetic Minor Sitewide Air Quality Permit to Construct with a Facility Emission Cap Component written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) is applying for a synthetic minor, Sitewide, air quality permit to construct (PTC) with a facility emission cap (FEC) component from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to limit its potential to emit to less than major facility limits for criteria air pollutants (CAPs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) regulated under the Clean Air Act. This document is supplied as an appendix to the application, Idaho National Laboratory Application for a Synthetic Minor Sitewide Air Quality Permit to Construct with a Facility Emissions Cap Component, hereafter referred to as "permit application" (DOE-ID 2015). Air dispersion modeling was performed as part of the permit application process to demonstrate pollutant emissions from the INL will not cause a violation of any ambient air quality standards. This report documents the modeling methodology and results for the air dispersion impact analysis. All CAPs regulated under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act were modeled with the exception of lead (Pb) and ozone which are not required to be modeled by DEQ. Modeling was not performed for toxic air pollutants (TAPs) as uncontrolled emissions did not exceed screening emission levels for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic TAPs. Modeling for CAPs was performed with the EPA approved AERMOD dispersion modeling system (Version 14134) (EPA 2004a) and five years (2000 2004) of meteorological data. The meteorological data set was produced with the companion AERMET model (Version 14134) (EPA 2004b) using surface data from the Idaho Falls airport, and upper-air data from Boise International Airport supplied by DEQ. Onsite meteorological data from the Grid 3 Mesonet tower located near the center of the INL (north of INTEC) and supplied by the local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) office was used for surface wind directions and wind speeds. Surface data (i.e., land use data that defines roughness, albedo, Bowen ratio, and other parameters) were processed using the AERSURFACE utility (Version 13016) (EPA 2013). Emission sources were modeled as point sources using actual stack locations and dimensions. Emissions, flow rates and exit temperatures were based on the design operating capacity of each source. All structures close enough to produce an area of wake effect were included for all sources. For multi-tiered structures, the heights of the tiers were included or the entire building height was assumed to be equal to the height of the tallest tier. Concentrations were calculated at 1,352 receptor locations provided by DEQ. All receptors were considered for each pollutant and averaging period. Maximum modeled CAP concentrations summed with average background concentration values were presented and compared to National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The background concentration values used were obtained using the Washington State University's Laboratory for Atmospheric Research North West Airquest web-based retrieval tool (http://lar.wsu.edu/nw airquest/lookup.html). The air dispersion modeling results show the maximum impacts for CAPs are less than applicable standards and demonstrate the INL will not cause a violation of any ambient air quality standards.

Download or read book A Microcomputer Pollution Model for Civilian Airports and Air Force Bases written by Howard M. Segal and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past five years, the Federal Aviation Administration and the United States Air Force have developed a number of user-friendly emissions and dispersion models for air quality assessment purposes. The first, Simplex A was completed in July 1981. The second, called Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS), has just been completed and this report constitutes its User's Guide. First, this User's Guide shows how the EDMS system evolved from the earlier, more complex AVAP and AQAM systems. Then, it identifies the hardware and software required to run the system and provides instructions on how to add, delete or change standard information. Finally, through a 125-step example problem, it instructs the user on how to input and process data to produce: (1) an emissions inventory of all sources at an airport/airbase, and (2) an estimate of the concentrations of these sources at specified locations. An inexperienced user should be able to process the example problem in less than three hours. Keywords: Menu flow; and Flow charting. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Climates is the first full synthesis of modern scientific and applied research on urban climates. The book begins with an outline of what constitutes an urban ecosystem. It develops a comprehensive terminology for the subject using scale and surface classification as key constructs. It explains the physical principles governing the creation of distinct urban climates, such as airflow around buildings, the heat island, precipitation modification and air pollution, and it then illustrates how this knowledge can be applied to moderate the undesirable consequences of urban development and help create more sustainable and resilient cities. With urban climate science now a fully-fledged field, this timely book fulfills the need to bring together the disparate parts of climate research on cities into a coherent framework. It is an ideal resource for students and researchers in fields such as climatology, urban hydrology, air quality, environmental engineering and urban design.
