Objective:
CACES is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research center that is addressing critical questions at the nexus of air, climate, and energy. The center has overarching themes of regional differences, multiple pollutants, and development and dissemination of tools for air quality impact assessment. Novel measurement and modeling approaches are being applied to understand spatial and temporal differences in human exposures and health outcomes. We are also investigating a range of technology and policy scenarios for addressing our nation’s air, climate, and energy challenges, and test their potential ability to meet policy goals such as improved health outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
The center is comprised of five thematically and scientifically integrated research projects and one support center. Project 1 is extending existing chemical transport models to high spatial resolution (1 km) with tagged source apportionment and developing a new class of reduced complexity models for air quality and exposure assessment. Project 2 is conducting comprehensive measurements in four cities (Austin, TX; Oakland, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; Baltimore, MD) to quantify factors influencing gradients in pollutant concentrations, to evaluate model predictions, and to develop mechanistic understanding of how pollutant transformations affect population exposures. Project 3 is developing multi-pollutant empirical models at high spatial resolution (~0.1 km), national-scale and over multiple decades. Project 4 is using tools developed in other projects to investigate key air, climate, and energy challenges and their interactions focusing on four main elements: electricity generation; transportation; agriculture; and economy-wide. Project 5 is analyzing nationally representative population-based health data, combined with novel multi-pollutant exposure estimates and source contributions (Projects 1, 2 and 3), to derive new knowledge on multi-pollutant mortality risk and its variability across the U.S.
Research Performed and Results Generated
Project 1. Mechanistic air quality impact models for assessment of multiple pollutants at high spatial resolution
Project 1 is focused on the development, evaluation and application of mechanistic air quality models, both chemical transport models (CTMs) and reduced-complexity models (RCMs). Major activities in the past reporting period included:
- High-resolution (1 km) modeling of present-day air quality. We have completed the 1- km CTM modeling for the Pittsburgh domain, which were evaluated with observations from Project 2.
- Speciated and Source-Resolved Exposure Fields for Epidemiological Study: We handed off exposure fields of simulated PM2.5 speciation and source “tagged” PM2.5 to project 5 for epidemiological analysis. A geographically weighted regression technique was applied to the raw CTM output, using speciated measurement data, to reduce some systematic regional biases in the base CTM predictions.
- Development of Reduced-Complexity Models (RCMs). The development of a global version of InMAP was completed. We have also initiated the development of a new RCM that is based on Gaussian dispersion modeling principles, similar to APEEP, but not tied to any particular geography (i.e. US counties) in an effort to build a user-configurable tool that can be applied to developing countries, where high-resolution CTM modeling may not be available to train an RCM.
- Outreach and Dissemination of RCM tools. A User Guide has been written and added to our CACES web site (www.caces.us) that provides a user-friendly intro to getting and using RCM marginal social costs. We have continued outreach in the form of webinars on RCMs.
Project 2. Air quality observatory
Project 2 is collecting and analyzing air quality observations to characterize spatial (intracity, urban-to-rural, and inter-city) and temporal distributions of multiple air pollutant species in four cities. Major activities in the past reporting period included:
- National exposure models: During the past year we worked closely with Project 3 to combine mobile monitoring and fixed site data to build national-scale LUR models for concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFP) and source-resolved organic aerosol (OA). We recently submitted two papers to Environmental Science & Technology describing these models. We are also collaborating with Project 5 to use the UFP and OA estimates for national-scale epidemiology.
- Impacts of nontraditional sources: Our collaborative project with the SEARCH center yielded a paper in Science Advances that examined the potential impacts of emissions from asphalt paving on PM2.5.
- Ultrafine particles: We continued our focus on ultrafine particles (UFPs). One paper examined how spatial correlations in UFP and PM2.5 mass may preclude identification of UFP health effects independent of PM2.5; this paper is a collaboration with Project 1. We also published an analysis of national spatial and historical trends in UFP in Atmospheric Environment: X.
- Environmental justice: A paper in Environmental Research Letters used our mobile sampling data to examine exposure disparities to source-resolved PM in Pittsburgh and Oakland. A second paper in preparation will use our national OA and UFP estimates to extend this analysis to nationwide.
- Quantifying impacts of COVID-related shutdowns on air quality: We used data from our low-cost sensor network in Pittsburgh to quantify changes in traffic-related air pollution and related them to changes in activity associated with COVID shutdowns. A manuscript was published in ES&T Letters covering the impacts on a local scale in Pittsburgh, and a second paper in Science of the Total Environment (led by Project 3) examined national-scale impacts.
Project 3. Next generation LUR models: Development of nationwide modeling tools for exposure assessment and epidemiology
Project 3 is developing national scale, high spatial resolution, multi-pollutant empirical models of air pollutant concentrations for use in health analysis and investigation of the influence of modifiable factors on human exposure. Major activities in the past reporting period included:
- Use of microscale variables in national models: During this project period, we finalized the development novel microscale variables for empirical exposure modeling based on Landsat satellite-derived Local Climate Zones (LCZs) data; Google Point of Interest (POI) data that can provide information on sources (e.g., restaurants, gas stations); Yelp data that adds detailed information on restaurant type and location; and (4) object identification from Google Street View (GSV) imagery. We applied these variables using traditional and machine learning models to build empirical exposure models using these datasets. We found that machine learning models outperformed stepwise forward selection models, and were comparable to or improved as compared to the PLS-K (partial least squares – kriging) modeling approach.
- Google Street View (GSV) empirical models: We tested image-based approaches for developing national empirical models for NO2 and PM2.5 models using (1) built environment features derived from GSV imagery and (2) satellite estimates of air quality during 2007-2015.
- External model evaluation: We continued our assessment of model predictions against the open-source PurpleAir PM2.5 sensor network as another source of independent measurements. We have submitted this work for publication in Environmental Research.
- Model intercomparisons: We continued the evaluation of CACES model predictions against predictions from other publicly available or privately shared empirical exposure models, including from the other ACE centers and found generally strong agreement among model methods, with the exception of low concentration areas and the Western US. This is a collaborative project.
- National models of ultrafine particles and primary PM (COA, HOA, BC): We have worked with Project 2 to develop national empirical models by combining data from mobile using an AMS (aerosol mass spectrometry – an advanced measurement technique conducted as part of CACES Project 2 mobile-monitoring), fixed-sites across the country, and new land use metrics extracted from the Yelp database. Based on those datasets, we developed the first national estimates of ultrafine particles and primary PM components.
- National environmental justice patterns: During this project period, we finalized our national assessment of environmental justice in residential exposure to ambient air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, O3, CO, SO2) over three decades (1990, 2000 and 2010). Additionally, we continued our national investigation of correlates of within-urban racial/ethnic disparities in NO2 levels. We found that racial/ethnic residential segregation was strongly associated with disparities in NO2 levels. We also compiled a database of criteria used by US federal agencies and states to identify environmental justice communities. Finally, we conducted an analysis of NO2 levels and disparities at public school locations and found that racial and ethnic minority students are more likely to live and attend school in locations with higher NO2 levels than their non-Hispanic white peers.
Project 4. Air pollutant control strategies in a changing world
Project 4 is applying chemical transport and reduced-form air quality models to assess the air quality and health impacts of various technology, policy, land-use, and climate scenarios. Major activities in the past reporting period included:
- Air quality-related health damages of food. Agriculture is a major source of air pollution, but air quality has been largely absent from discussions about the health and environmental impacts of food. We estimate the air quality–related health impacts of agriculture in the United States. These findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
- Reducing mortality from air pollution in the United States by targeting specific emission sources. Air quality in the U.S. has dramatically improved, yet exposure to air pollution is still associated with 100000–200000 deaths annually. Reducing the number of deaths effectively, efficiently, and equitably relies on attributing them to specific emission sources, but so far, this has been done for only highly aggregated groups of sources, or a select few sources of interest. We estimated mortality in the United States attributable to all domestic, human-caused emissions of primary PM2.5 and secondary PM2.5 precursors, presenting detailed source-specific attributions in four alternate groupings relevant for identifying promising ways to reduce mortality. These findings were published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
- Global food system emissions could preclude achieving the 1.5° and 2°C climate change targets. The Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting the increase in global temperature to 1.5° or 2°C above preindustrial levels requires rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Although reducing emissions from fossil fuels is essential for meeting this goal, other sources of emissions may also preclude its attainment. We show that even if fossil fuel emissions were immediately halted, current trends in global food systems would prevent the achievement of the 1.5°C target and, by the end of the century, threaten the achievement of the 2°C target. Meeting the 1.5°C target requires rapid and ambitious changes to food systems as well as to all nonfood sectors. The 2°C target could be achieved with less-ambitious changes to food systems, but only if fossil fuel and other nonfood emissions are eliminated soon. These findings were published in Science.
Project 5. Health effects of air pollution and mitigation scenarios
Project 5’s specific aims include (1) estimate multi-pollutant mortality risk surfaces using two large, unique, population-based U.S. datasets and (2) explore regional and temporal variability in those risk surfaces. Major activities in the past reporting period included:
- We finished our analysis of the associations of cancer and air pollution using NHIS data and Project 3 PM2.5 exposures. The results were published in Cancer Causes and Controls.
- We finished another analysis investigating associations of cancer and air pollution but using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) datasets and Project 3 PM2.5 exposures. The results were published in Environmental Health Perspectives.
- We completed an analysis of fine particulate matter air pollution and mortality risk among U.S. cancer patients and survivors using a cohort constructed from the SEER data. The results for this analysis were published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.
- Motivated by interesting BMI-mortality associations that were observed in our air pollution studies using NHIS data, we further investigated the association of BMI and mortality. Specifically, we evaluated the shape of BMI-mortality risk associations and explored the issues of reverse causality and heterogeneity in the unrestricted NHIS data. These results were published in Obesity.
- We conducted an analysis of cardiopulmonary mortality and fine particulate air pollution by species and source at the MSA level using the unrestricted NHIS data. This research has been submitted for publication and is currently in review.
- We completed an analysis of mortality risk associated with both air pollution and greenness in a cohort of cancer patients and survivors using the SEER data. The manuscript reporting these results is in review. The Administrative Core provides overall oversight, coordination, and integration of the Center. The Administrative Core oversees the quality management structure, which is detailed in the EPA-approved Quality Management Plan. The fourth CACES SAC meeting was held August 11-12, 2020 over Zoom. The administrative core continued to organize monthly conference calls of the project Executive Committee and weekly to monthly calls for groups of investigators for project-specific meetings.
Future Activities:
Project 1. Mechanistic air quality impact models for assessment of multiple pollutants at high spatial resolution
- Development of the EASIUR model to use the volatility basis set (VBS) for organic PM and to higher resolution.
- We expect to submit 1-2 manuscripts related to high-resolution EASIUR. One manuscript would be model development and evaluation with a sample application. A second manuscript would look at the environmental justice implications of transportation changes.
- We expect to complete development and evaluation of the Gaussian dispersion-based RCM suitable for use in developing countries.
- Additional manuscripts related to high-resolution CTM modeling will be submitted.
Project 2. Air quality observatory
- National environmental justice analysis: We will use our national estimates of UFP and source-resolved OA exposures to quantify environmental injustice for these exposures. We expect to submit a manuscript by the end of 2021.
- National health study: In collaboration with Project 5, we will use our national estimates of UFP and source-resolved OA exposures in a national health study.
- Dissemination: Results will be presented conferences and meetings throughout the next year. Multiple manuscripts are in various stages of preparation.
Project 3. Next generation LUR models: Development of nationwide modeling tools for exposure assessment and epidemiology
- We will continue to develop new covariates and test these variables in various modeling frameworks. A core focus will be the Google Street View (GSV)-based image analysis - a method that could be scaled to any location where this imagery is available. We will also continue to assess our new modeling frameworks against existing prediction models and independent measurements from Project 2 and the PurpleAir network. We will first focus this work on locations with poor model-performance, with the goal of identifying variables and modeling approaches that improve model-performance, especially withincity prediction performance.
- We will publish our PurpleAir model evaluation. In collaboration with other EPA ACE centers, we will write up and publish the empirical model intercomparison analysis.
- We will publish our multi-pollutant and multi-decade analysis of national environmental justice patterns in the contiguous US. We also plan to finalize and publish additional national environmental justice (EJ) analyses, including exploring correlates with urban disparities, spatial decomposition of disparities, and disparities at public school locations.
Project 4. Air pollutant control strategies in a changing world
- Continue evaluation of transportation, electricity generation, agriculture and economywide, with particular focus on agriculture and the extension of work using Global InMAP.
- Continue to employ updated models from Projects 1 and 3 in forthcoming research efforts, including Global InMAP.
Project 5. Health effects of air pollution and mitigation scenarios
- Conduct an analysis on mortality risk associated with both greenness and PM2.5 air pollution using the restricted use NHIS cohort data at the census tract level. The revised and resubmitted proposal to conduct this research at an RDC has been approved.
- Complete an analysis on mortality risk and various measures of particulate matter air pollution, including PM2.5, PNC/UFP, elemental carbon, POA using the restricted NHIS data at the census tract level. The revised and resubmitted proposal to conduct this research at an RDC has been approved.
- Project future age-, sex- cause-specific mortality at the county level.
- Estimate, together with projected air pollution concentrations from Project 4, the reduction in deaths of different concentration scenarios and policies.
- Convert space-time estimation code from INLA to Nimble in order to allow fitting of more complex models.
