  • Mitigation of non-CO 2 greenhouse gases from Indian agriculture sector

    Open AccessOmkar Patange, Pallav Purohit et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The Indian agriculture sector is driven by small and marginal farmers and employs two-thirds of the Indian work force. Agriculture also accounts for around a quarter of the total greenhouse gas emissions, mainly in the form of methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Hence, agriculture is an important sector for India’s transition to net-zero emissions and for the achievement of the sustainable development goals. So far, very few studies have a…

  • Future PM 2.5 emissions from metal production to meet renewable energy demand

    Open AccessSagar Rathod, Tami C Bond et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    A shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy is crucial in limiting global temperature increase to 2 °C above preindustrial levels. However, renewable energy technologies, solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and electric vehicles are metal-intensive, and the mining and smelting processes to obtain the needed metals are emission-intensive. We estimate the future PM 2.5 emissions from mining and smelting to meet the metal demand of renewable energy…

  • The contribution of emission sources to the future air pollution disease burden in China

    Open AccessLuke Conibear, Carly Reddington et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Air pollution exposure is a leading public health problem in China. Despite recent air quality improvements, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure remains large, the associated disease burden is substantial, and population ageing is projected to increase the susceptibility to disease. Here, we used emulators of a regional chemical transport model to quantify the impacts of future emission scenarios on air pollution exposure in China. We esti…

  • Air quality and health implications of 1.5 °C–2 °C climate pathways under considerations of ageing population

    Open AccessPeter Rafaj, Gregor Kiesewetter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Low-carbon pathways consistent with the 2 °C and 1.5 °C long-term climate goals defined in the Paris Agreement are likely to induce substantial co-benefits for air pollution and associated health impacts. In this analysis, using five global integrated assessment models, we quantify the emission reductions in key air pollutants resulting from the decarbonization of energy systems and the resulting changes in premature mortality attributed to the e…

  • Historical (1750–2014) anthropogenic emissions of reactive gases and aerosols from the Community Emissions Data System (Ceds)

    Open AccessRachel Hoesly, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2018

    We present a new data set of annual historical (1750–2014) anthropogenic chemically reactive gases (CO, CH4, NH3, NOx, SO2, NMVOCs), carbonaceous aerosols (black carbon – BC, and organic carbon – OC), and CO2 developed with the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS). We improve upon existing inventories with a more consistent and reproducible methodology applied to all emission species, updated emission factors, and recent estimates through 2014.…

  • Nonlinear impacts of future anthropogenic aerosol emissions on Arctic warming

    Open AccessSrdjan Dobričić, Luca Pozzoli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Past reductions of anthropogenic aerosol concentrations in Europe and North America could have amplified Arctic warming. In the future the impact of air pollution policies may differ, because the major anthropogenic sources of atmospheric aerosols are increasingly located in Asia. In this study numerical experiments evaluating only direct aerosol effects on atmospheric temperatures indicate that, while reduced carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions wea…

  • Outlook for clean air in the context of sustainable development goals

    Open AccessPeter Rafaj, Gregor Kiesewetter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2018Citada por: 3

    Air pollution is linked with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Strategies aiming at the improved air quality interact directly with climate mitigation targets, access to clean energy services, waste management, and other aspects of socio-economic development. Continuation of current policies in the key emitting sectors implies that a number of sustainability goals will likely not be met within the next two decades: emissio…

  • Anthropogenic fugitive, combustion and industrial dust is a significant, underrepresented fine particulate matter source in global atmospheric models

    Open AccessSajeev Philip, Randall V Martin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Global measurements of the elemental composition of fine particulate matter across several urban locations by the Surface Particulate Matter Network reveal an enhanced fraction of anthropogenic dust compared to natural dust sources, especially over Asia. We develop a global simulation of anthropogenic fugitive, combustion, and industrial dust which, to our knowledge, is partially missing or strongly underrepresented in global models. We estimate …

  • Technical opportunities to reduce global anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide

    Open AccessWilfried Winiwarter, Lena Höglund-Isaksson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    We describe a consistent framework developed to quantify current and future anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide and the available technical abatement options by source sector for 172 regions globally. About 65% of the current emissions derive from agricultural soils, 8% from waste, and 4% from the chemical industry. Low-cost abatement options are available in industry, wastewater, and agriculture, where they are limited to large industrial f…

  • Uncertainties in emissions estimates of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in India and their impacts on regional air quality

    Open AccessEri Saikawa, Marcus Trail et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Greenhouse gas and air pollutant precursor emissions have been increasing rapidly in India. Large uncertainties exist in emissions inventories and quantification of their uncertainties is essential for better understanding of the linkages among emissions and air quality, climate, and health. We use Monte Carlo methods to assess the uncertainties of the existing carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx…

  • A multi-model assessment of the co-benefits of climate mitigation for global air quality

    Open AccessShilpa Rao, Zbigniew Klimont et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    We present a model comparison study that combines multiple integrated assessment models with a reduced-form global air quality model to assess the potential co-benefits of global climate mitigation policies in relation to the World Health Organization (WHO) goals on air quality and health. We include in our assessment, a range of alternative assumptions on the implementation of current and planned pollution control policies. The resulting air pol…

  • The marker quantification of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 2

    Open AccessOliver Fricko, Peter Havlík et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Citada por: 58Referencias: 10

    Studies of global environmental change make extensive use of scenarios to explore how the future can evolve under a consistent set of assumptions. The recently developed Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) create a framework for the study of climate-related scenario outcomes. Their five narratives span a wide range of worlds that vary in their challenges for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Here we provide background on the quantificati…

    This paper presents the overview of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and their energy, land use, and emissions implications. The SSPs are part of a new scenario framework, established by the climate change research community in order to facilitate the integrated analysis of future climate impacts, vulnerabilities, adaptation, and mitigation. The pathways were developed over the last years as a joint community effort and describe plausible…

  • Future air pollution in the Shared Socio-economic Pathways

    Open AccessShilpa Rao, Zbigniew Klimont et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Citada por: 23

    Emissions of air pollutants such as sulfur and nitrogen oxides and particulates have significant health impacts as well as effects on natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. These same emissions also can change atmospheric chemistry and the planetary energy balance, thereby impacting global and regional climate. Long-term scenarios for air pollutant emissions are needed as inputs to global climate and chemistry models, and for analysis linking air …

  • The last decade of global anthropogenic sulfur dioxide

    Open AccessZbigniew Klimont, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    The evolution of global and regional anthropogenic SO2 emissions in the last decade has been estimated through a bottom-up calculation. After increasing until about 2006, we estimate a declining trend continuing until 2011. However, there is strong spatial variability, with North America and Europe continuing to reduce emissions, with an increasing role of Asia and international shipping. China remains a key contributor, but the introduction of s…
