Review of PM2.5 and PM10 Apportionment for Fossil Fuel Combustion and Other Sources by the Chemical Mass Balance Receptor Model

Chow, Judith C., Watson, John G.·2002·Energy & Fuels

Abstract

This review examines how the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) receptor model has been used to quantify source contributions from fossil fuel combustion and other sources to ambient concentrations of PM 2.5 and PM 10 for urban and regional scales. Nonfossil fuel sources, such as fugitive dust, cooking, vegetative burning, and natural or human-caused biogenics must be considered together with fossil-fuel sources in a CMB analysis to obtain closure for PM 2.5 and PM 10 mass. CMB analyses in 22 different studies have found fossil fuel combustion to be a large contributor to PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations, with most of the primary contributions originating form diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust. Primary contributions from ducted sources, such as coal- and oil-fired power stations, are negligible when these facilities have been modernized with effective pollution controls, but they have been shown to be large contributors without these controls. Secondary sulfates and nitrates from fossil fuel combustion are recognized, but their attribution to specific precursor gas emitters is uncertain using either the CMB or source-oriented chemical transport models. Using source and receptor models together improves source contribution estimates and the confidence in those estimates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
