We employed Harvard's Co-BE Calculator to determine pollutant emissions reductions by country accounting for transient energy mixes and baseline energy use intensities.
Three German motorways were selected (A4, A555, and A61), where runoff and deposits were analyzed to determine pollutant load moving into the roadside soil or into the drainage system.
Monitors were also placed next to specific industry sources to determine pollutant concentrations (SO2, one monitor) (Utah Department of Environmental Quality 2006, 2011).
Backwards trajectory modeling has been used to determine pollutant sources and locations [ 32- 36], and this information can then be used to estimate how changes in pollutant emissions will affect concentrations at various locales.
The dispersion of the considered pollutants in atmosphere was investigated on maps with receptors located at 2 m altitude; the application of the Gaussian model on the selected area has determined the pollutant concentrations due to the arriving and sailing ships.
"But it's really these structures that will determine where pollutants end up".
Scientists are still trying to determine whether pollutants caused the death of five sperm whales that became stranded on the east coast of Britain in January.
Although the contaminated sampling reference made it difficult to determine which pollutants, if any, arose due to emission of VOCs from the collection there were a few analytes, principally aldehydes, whose concentrations were significantly higher in locations A and B: hexanal, furfural, heptanal and nonanal.
Trying to determine how pollutants are getting to Whittier Narrows and pinpointing their source will involve an investigation of the entire San Gabriel Valley ground-water basin, EPA officials have said.
It's also advocating and supporting further research to help it determine whether pollutants will rise to the level of an actual risk factor in its perception, meaning that it is a significant, independent contributing factor to CVD.
Knowledge of the fate and transport of pollutants as well as groundwater hydrology under the influence of pressure changes during and after hydraulic fracturing is required a) to determine whether pollutants can migrate to private or public drinking wells, b) to identify early-warning indicators, and c) to estimate the transit time of target pollutants and identify suitable remediation strategies.
