Emissions, dispersion and deposition of SO2 from Nikel and Zapolyarny. A WRD-Chem model study. NILU OR

Engdahl, B.J.; Velken, A.V.S.; Berglen, T.F.; Hodnebrog, Ø.; Stordal, F.

The WRF-Chem model has been applied to study two specific episodes of pollution from the Nikel and Zapolyarny facilities, the summer episode 2007 and winter 2010/11. Meteorological input data from WRF compare well with data from ECMWF. The model underestimates concentrations of SO2 in specific episodes, a possible explanation for this is that the flue gas plume is levelled out in the model, in addition little is known about the emissions. A budget for the different processes show that chemical loss and wet deposition are most important in summer time, while wet and dry deposition are most important in winter time. WRF-Chem is computational demanding and most suited to study processes and specific episodes.

Emissions outsourcing in the EU. A review of potential effects on industrial pollution.

Abbasi, Golnoush; Bouman, Evert

This study reviews potential evidence for emissions outsourcing in the European Union as the reduction in industrial emissions in Europe may be linked to the relocation of industry abroad (i.e. away from Europe). Emission trends of selected industrial pollutants to air (PAH, SOx, B(a)P, PCB, Pb, Zn and Ni) were established for both domestic emissions and embodied emissions in imports using available data in the EXIOBASE environmentally extended multiregional input-output system. Despite the overall decreasing trends of domestic emissions in Europe, a great variation was observed in the decrease rate of direct emissions and the increase rates in embodied emissions, due to increasing import of associated products. In addition to the analysis of data in EXIOBASE, a review of literature shows that industries’ responses to environmental regulations differ greatly based on the nature of industrial activities. Despite imposing higher costs to industries, no evidence was found in the reviewed literature that European environmental regulations caused industries to relocate. However, once industries aim to relocate outside of Europe to benefit from economic factors, such as lowering their production cost, the degree by which environmental regulations are enforced in the country of relocation can play a significant role in selecting their new location.
