International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Potential and Costs for Controlling Particulate Matter in Europe
Approach to PM Assessment • Health impact theories still controversial (PM mass, size, number, carbonaceous, etc.) • Integrated assessment for all impact theories (as far as possible) to determine set of robust measures • First step: PM mass, distinguish PM size classes • Future work: other PM properties (carbonaceous, metals, alkaline, etc.)
Methodology • Emission factors for TSP first • mass balance approach for stationary combustion sources • reported factors for the mobile and other sources • PM10 and PM2.5 fractions for uncontrolled emissions • Uncontrolled emission factors forfine / coarse / PM>10 • Size-specific emission removal efficiencies
Initial Projections of Primary PM EU-15 Non-EU
Stationary Sources: Cyclones Fabric filters Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) 1 field 2/3 fields 3+ fields Improved combustion techniques for small sources Mobile Sources: EURO-II EURO-III EURO-IV EURO-V PM control optionsconsidered in RAINS
Major open issues • Emissions from wood burning • Re-suspension • Road • Rail • Material handling • Waste treatment & disposal, solvents • Verification with national experts
On the Internet • Free access to PM module • National databases • Emission calculations and projections • Cost calculations and cost curves • http://www.iiasa.ac.at/~rains
