Emissions and Inventories
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in emissions of ozone and aerosol precursors. This has been a challenge for air quality forecast models to adapt to evolving emissions associated with the lockdown and recovery periods. Traditionally, the development of bottom-up emission inventories is a time-intensive activity that often involves a multi-year lag. Here, we explore the use...
The impact of air pollution and climate change constitutes a serious and growing public health across Africa. Sustaining economic growth without a large increase in problems associated with air pollution and climate emissions will depend on whether policy makers in the region adopt and implement cost-effective solutions to air pollution and climate change. Furthermore, Africa is considered...
Emissions generated by the transportation sector continue to be one of the main causes of air pollution in Latin American cities. Despite major technological improvements in the automotive industry, motor vehicles continue to rely primarily on fossil fuels. Electromobility is emerging as a potential solution for the transport of the future, but there are still several decades of transition,...
Black carbon (BC) is a particulate matter component associated with adverse health impacts and contribution to global warming. Therefore, it is one of the priority air pollutants. Emissions of BC are however still subject to large uncertainties, in particular for residential wood combustion. In order to come to a reliable emission inventory, it is essential to verify the emissions through...
