Investigating fine particulate matter sources in Salt Lake City during persistent cold air pool events

Publication date: Available online 24 June 2019Source: Atmospheric EnvironmentAuthor(s): Cesunica E. Ivey, Sivaraman Balachandran, Sean Colgan, Yongtao Hu, Heather A. HolmesAbstractDuring wintertime, Salt Lake City experiences periods of high-pressure atmospheric stagnation that leads to prolonged periods with stable atmospheric boundary layers (ABL) due to the unique orography of the region. These atmospheric conditions typically lead to persistent cold air pool (PCAP) events, where the stable ABL...

Evolution of four-decade atmospheric mercury release from a coal-fired power plant in North China

Publication date: Available online 24 June 2019Source: Atmospheric EnvironmentAuthor(s): Zhonggen Li, Xufeng Chen, Wenli Liu, Taishan Li, Ji Chen, Che-Jen Lin, Guangyi Sun, Xinbin FengAbstractCoal-fired power plants (CFPPs) are an important anthropogenic emission source of atmospheric mercury (Hg). Understanding the co-benefits of conventional air pollution control devices (APCDs) on Hg reduction is crucial for reducing Hg emission from this source. In this study, atmospheric Hg emission from a pulverized...
