1 ABSTRACT 2 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has adopted a policy to reduce its greenhouse gas 3 (GHG) emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050. For this project, Pechan and Southern Research Institute 4 developed 2006, 2007, and 2008 calendar year GHG and criteria pollutant emission inventories for Port Authority 5 facilitie...
Conference Paper
To address climate change, many U.S. states are taking action to establish policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in all economic sectors. With the transportation sector contributing 28 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions in the United States in 2006, strategies to mitigate transportation sector emissions are an important component of...

Section 812 of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to perform periodic, comprehensive analyses of the total costs and total benefits of programs implemented pursuant to the CAAA. The first prospective analysis was completed in 1999. The second prospective analysis was initiated during...
Conference Paper
Section 812 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to perform periodic, comprehensive analyses of the total costs and total benefits of programs implemented pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA). The first analysis required was a retrospective analysis, addressing the original CAA and co...
Article
The National Highway System (NHS) bill passed by Congress in November 1995 eliminated the national maximum speed limit. It has allowed states to set their own speed limits, which many have changed during the past year. This analysis examines the impact of speed limit changes 1 year after passage of the NHS. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide...

Estimates of 1973–1982 annual SO2 emissions from electric utility plants are presented in this paper. Results are based on analyses of plant level data collected by the U.S. Department of Energy on consumption and quality of fuels burned. Emissions are estimated from known information about fuel consumption, sulfur content, ash content, and control...

Through its refinery initiative, EPA has established consent decrees with most of the U.S. refinery companies to reduce their air pollution emissions. As part of the EPA's Second Section 812 Prospective, an analysis of the costs and benefits of the Clean Air Amendments is being performed, and this analysis includes emission projections to 2010 and...
Article
Projection methodologies are presented for photochemical oxidants, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Air quality projections are performed using the Modified Rollback Model to relate pollutant emissions and ambient concentrations. In addition, oxidant projections are made utilizing an empirical kinetic modeling aproach for estimating air quali...
