(v5.6394) as the EPA-approved version, announced on June 29, 2007. As part of this assessment, EPA performed several tests to compare modeled impacts based on the then-current VISTAS versions of CALMET (v5.726) and CALPUFF (v5.756) to impacts based on the previous EPA-approved versions of CALMET (v5.53a) and CALPUFF (v5.711a), for the purpose of assessing whether to update the EPAapproved version of the modeling system.

A national scale air quality modeling analysis was performed to estimate the effect of the rule on future year: annual and 24-hour PM(sub 2.5) concentrations, daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations, annual nitrogen and sulfur deposition levels, and select annual and seasonal air toxic concentrations (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ethanol, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, acrolein). To model the air quality benefits of this rule we used the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. CMAQ simulates the numerous physical and chemical processes involved in the formation, transport, and destruction of ozone, particulate matter and air toxics. In addition to the CMAQ model, the modeling platform includes the emissions, meteorology, and initial and boundary condition data which are inputs to this model.

Even though the International Space Station (ISS) atmosphere is relatively well characterized in terms of what is in the atmosphere and approximately how much, linking the majority of these trace contaminants detected to their source is virtually impossible. Albeit a few of can be associated to a single source, the majority of these trace contaminants have their origins from multiple sources. On crewed spacecraft such as ISS, trace contaminants are broadly categorized as either coming from equipment, which includes systems and payloads, or from the metabolic processes of the crew members. Such widely encompassing categories clearly illustrate the difficulty in linking air contaminants to their source(s). It is well known that microbial growth in ISS can flourish if left unchecked. Although processes are in place to limit microbial growth, in reality, microbial growth has pervaded the habitable environment of ISS. This is simply a consequence of having crewed spacecraft, as humans are the largest contributor to the bioload. As with crew members, microbes also have metabolic processes which, in many ways, are comparable to human metabolism. As such, it can be expected that microbial growth can lead to the release of volatile organic compounds into the ISS atmosphere. Given a large enough microbial population, the impact to the air quality of ISS can be potentially large. A survey of the microbiology found in ISS will be presented as well as the possible types of volatile organic compounds that can result from such organisms. This will be correlated to the observations provided by ground-based analysis of ISS atmosphere samples Author Volatile Organic Compounds; Air Quality; Habitability; International Space Station; Microorganisms; Flight Crews; Trace Contaminants 92
20100017316 Wisconsin Electric Power Co., WI, USA; ADA Environmental Solutions, LLC, Littleton, CO, USA TOXECON(Trade Name) Retrofit for Mercury and Multi-Pollutant Control on Three 90-MW Coal-Fired Boilers. Final Report: Project Performance and Economics Derenne, S.; Stewart, R.; Dec. 2009; 1820 pp.; In English Contract(s)/Grant(s): DE-FC26-04NT41766 Report No.(s): DE2010-970601; DOE-41766R23; No Copyright; Avail.: National Technical Information Service (NTIS) This document provides a summary of the performance and economics of the demonstration project TOXECON Retrofit for Mercury and Multi-Pollutant Control on Three 90-MW Coal-Fired Boilers that was completed on September 30, 2009. This U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) project was based on a cooperative agreement between We Energies and the DOE Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to design, install, evaluate, and demonstrate the EPRI-patented TOXECON air pollution control process. Project partners included Cummins & Barnard, ADA Environmental Solutions (ADA-ES), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The primary goal of this project was to reduce mercury emissions from three 90-MW units that burn Powder River Basin (PRB) coal at the We Energies Presque Isle Power Plant in Marquette, Michigan.

Engine populations are provided as default values in EPA=s NONROAD emission inventory model categorized by equipment type, power level, and fuel type. This categorization allows the NONROAD model to determine the phase-in of new emission standards and other unique aspects of emissions or allocations by application, fuel type, or power level.

Under this proposal, suppliers of fossil fuel and other covered sources of GHGs would be required to submit government-issued allowances based on the emissions of their respective products. The gases covered in this analysis of the proposal include energy-related carbon dioxide, methane from coal mining, nitrous oxide from nitric acid and adipic acid production, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. The program would establish annual emissions caps based on targeted reductions in greenhouse gas intensity, defined as emissions per dollar of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The targeted reduction in GHG intensity would be 2.6 percent annually between 2012 and 2021, then increase to 3.0 percent per year beginning in 2022. To limit its potential cost, the program includes a safety-valve provision that allows regulated entities to pay a pre-established emissions fee in lieu of submitting an allowance. The safety-valve price is initially 93
