Judgmental positions are presented on research priorities in regard to the health effects from stationary sources of fossil fuel combustion products. Hopefully, they can provide guidance for efforts to ensure that national energy needs are met with minimum environmental and economic burdens

We use the medium resolution (- 265 km horizontal grid) GFDL general circulation transport model to simulate the global spread and deposition of reactive nitrogen emitted by fossil fuel combustion. The nitrogen species are transported as a single tracer with no explicit chemistry. Chemical

than on-road vehicles and coal-fired energy generating units. To this end, this study presents a broad analysis of δ15N-NOx from several fossil-fuel combustion sources that includes: airplanes, gasoline-powered vehicles not equipped with a three-way catalytic converter, lawn equipment, utility vehicles

Metallic elements contained in coal, oil and gasoline are mobilized by combustion processes and may be emitted into the atmosphere, mainly as components of submicron particles. The information about the amounts, composition and form of metal compounds is reviewed for some fuels and combustion

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion were estimated using a “bottom-up ” methodology characterized by seven steps. These steps are described below. Step 1: Determine Total Fuel Consumption by Fuel Type and Sector The bottom-up methodology used by the United States

an important relevance in the final emission factor. To achieve sustainability in electricity production is required the consideration and evaluation of all relevant environ-mental impacts at the same time. Reduction in CO2 emissions is justified since clean combustion is achieved and global warming
