Source apportionment of wet sulfate deposition in eastern North America
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1985, 1985)
An analytical model of long distance transport of air pollutants (Fay and Rosenzweig, 1980) has been adapted for the estimation of long term (e.g. annual) wet sulfate deposition in eastern N. America. The model parameters ...
Controlling acid rain : policy issues
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Center for Energy Policy Research, 1983, 1983)
The policy and regulatory ramifications of U.S. acid rain control programs are examined; particularly, the alternative of a receptor-oriented strategy as constrasted to emission-oriented proposals (e.g., the Mitchell bill) ...
Controlling acid rain
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1983, 1983)
High concentrations of sulfuric and nitric acid in raTn fn the northeastern USA are caused by the large scale combustion of fossil fuels within this region. Average precipitation acidity is pH 4.2, but spatial and temporal ...
The role of methane in tropospheric chemistry
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989, 1989)
While methane is chemically quite inert to reactions with atmospheric molecular species, it does react with atomic species and molecular radicals. Because of its relatively large abundance in the global troposphere and ...
Three dimensional effects in analysis of PWR steam line break accident
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory and Department of Nuclear Engineering, 1984 [i.e. 1985], 1984 ie 19)
A steam line break accident is one of the possible severe abnormal transients in a pressurized water reactor. It is required to present an analysis of a steam line break accident in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) ...
Use of source apportionment model for designing acid deposition mitigating strategies in Massachusetts
(MIT Energy Lab, 1987)
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts promulgated an Act limiting S2
emissions from large sources that burn fuel at a rate greater than or equal
to 100 million Btu (MBtu) of fuel input per hour. The Act requires that by ...
Ambient monitoring of pollutants around synfuel plants : final report
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1984, 1984)
This study was undertaken to aid in the evaluation of Environmental Monitoring Plans (EMP) submitted to the U.S. Synfuel Corporation by prospective operators of large-scale synfuel plants who are applying for financial ...
Seasonalepisodic control of acid deposition
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988, 1988)
This report contains the climatological, technical and economic factors for episodic and seasonal control of emissions in existing power plants. Analyzing a large data set of acid deposition for the years 1982-85, we find ...
Ground-level ozone in eastern North America : its formation and transport
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990, 1990)
Ozone (Os), a natural component of the troposphere, is augmented by photochemical processes involving manmade emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Sufficiently high concentrations of ...
