Emissions and receptor modell<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Key<br />

§ refers to sections with<strong>in</strong> a specific chapter; references to ‘para’ numbers are with<strong>in</strong> this chapter.<br />

Urgency<br />

1. Short-term strategic action is required.<br />

2. Mid-term strategic action is required.<br />

3. Longer term action is required either to develop capability or address a large issue.<br />

Impact/importance<br />

H – High impact/importance – Will have a significant immediate impact on policy/evidence.<br />

M – Medium impact/importance – Will have an impact on policy/evidence.<br />

L – Low impact/importance – Will have some impact on policy/evidence.<br />

Conclusions and Future Directions<br />

Enhancement of emission <strong>in</strong>ventories: See Chapter 4 (§4.7) and para 11<br />

• non-exhaust vehicle emissions<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g tyre and brake wear, road<br />

abrasion and road dust resuspension<br />

• impact of UK biogenic volatile<br />

organic compounds (BVOCs) on<br />

formation of SOA<br />

• fugitive dust emissions from<br />

construction, demolition, quarry<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

m<strong>in</strong>eral handl<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>dustrial and<br />

agricultural processes<br />

• <strong>PM2.5</strong> emissions from domestic and<br />

commercial cook<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• small-scale waste burn<strong>in</strong>g and bonfires<br />

• wood burn<strong>in</strong>g and the effectiveness<br />

of control measures<br />

• biogenic emissions of non-methane<br />

volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs)<br />

• exhaust emissions from off-road<br />

mach<strong>in</strong>ery used <strong>in</strong> construction and<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustry<br />

• exhaust emissions from diesel<br />

vehicles under real world driv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

conditions<br />

• development of <strong>in</strong>ventories that<br />

quantify the spatial and temporal<br />

variability <strong>in</strong> emissions of primary<br />

<strong>PM2.5</strong> and precursor emissions of NH3<br />

from agriculture and methods for<br />

their control<br />

Model availability and ability to address<br />

each PM component and mass closure<br />

Import of transboundary PM (present<br />

and future)<br />

Need for assessment of ability to control<br />

future <strong>PM2.5</strong> concentrations; dependency<br />
