Description:
The emissions programs in the Atmospheric Protection Branch (APB) of NRMRL's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division are primarily dedicated to anthropogenic (human-influenced) sources of methane and high-global-warming refrigerants, though some work addresses carbon dioxide (CO2) by virtue of the influence of biomass as a CO2 sink and the impact of photovoltaic energy on emissions from fossil fuel power plants. Capabilities exist for characterization of anthropogenic emissions from sources such as landfills, coal mines, natural gas systems, wastewater, animal waste lagoons, biomass combustion, nitrous oxide and supermarket refrigerant leaks.
