The PN-PEMS is considered a "black box" where efficiency tests and linearity have to be checked with thermally stable soot like aerosol. The efficiency is checked with monodisperse aerosol. The most straight forward way is to check the efficiency of the complete PN-PEMS but checking the thermal...

Regulation 2016/427 introduced on-road testing with Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) to complement the laboratory Type I test for the type approval of light-duty vehicles in the European Union. A NOx conformity factor of 1.5 will apply from January 2020/2021. This conformity factor...

This document complements the Global Energy and Climate Outlook 2018 report. It provides the detailed GHG and energy balances for the Reference, the central 2°C and 1.5°C scenarios described in the main report. The results displayed in this report have been produced with the global energy &...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis was conducted on the SHERPA model, predicting air quality improvement linked to emission reduction scenarios. Major responsible of output uncertainty (PM2.5 concentration reductions in g/m3) stems from the uncertainty in the policy options followed by the...

The concentrations of equivalent black carbon deriving from biomass burning [eBC]bb and fossil fuel combustion [eBC]ff have been estimated from measurements of aerosol light attenuation at several wavelengths (from infrared to ultraviolet) performed at the atmospheric observatory of the Joint...

This study shows that achieving the climate change mitigation target of staying below 2°C temperature rise is possible technically - thanks to an acceleration of decarbonisation trends, an increased electrification of final demand and large changes in the primary energy mix that include a phase...

The emissions from small stationary combustion activities sector, in particular from the energy needs for residential buildings, have significant shares in total emissions of EU28. Therefore, measures to mitigate the emissions from this less regulated sector related to implementation checking...

This Atlas provides information on the origins of air pollution (PM2.5) in 150 European cities. The importance of taking city-specific actions at the urban scale is highlighted as well as the important contribution of agricultural activities on urban air quality.
