Journal ArticleDOI
Global atmospheric emission inventory of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for 2004
Yanxu Zhang,Shu Tao +1 more
TL;DR: The global atmospheric emissions of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) listed as the US EPA priority pollutants were estimated using reported emission activity and emission factor data for the reference year 2004 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhalation exposure to ambient polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and lung cancer risk of Chinese population
TL;DR: The lung cancer risk for the Chinese population caused by inhalation exposure to PAHs was higher than in western China, and populations in major cities had a higher risk of lung cancer than rural areas, while the spatial variability was high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-particle partitioning of atmospheric Hg(II) and its effect on global mercury deposition
H. M. Amos,Daniel J. Jacob,Christopher D. Holmes,Jenny A. Fisher,Qiaoqiao Wang,Robert M. Yantosca,Elizabeth Sturges Corbitt,Elisabeth Galarneau,Andrew P. Rutter,Mae Sexauer Gustin,Alexandra Steffen,James J. Schauer,Jennifer A. Graydon,V. L. Louis,Robert W. Talbot,Eric S. Edgerton,Yanxu Zhang,Elynor M Sunderland +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical gas-particle partitioning relationship log 10(K 1 ) = (10±1)- (2500±300)/T where K = (PBM/PM2.5)/RGM with PBM and RGM in common mixing ratio units, PM 2.5 in µg m 3, and T in K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observed decrease in atmospheric mercury explained by global decline in anthropogenic emissions
Yanxu Zhang,Daniel J. Jacob,Hannah M. Horowitz,Long Chen,Long Chen,H. M. Amos,David P. Krabbenhoft,Franz Slemr,Vincent L. St. Louis,Elynor M Sunderland +9 more
TL;DR: This work shows that locally deposited mercury close to coal-fired utilities has declined more rapidly than previously anticipated because of shifts in speciation from air pollution control technology targeted at SO2 and NOx.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
Hannah M. Horowitz,Daniel J. Jacob,Yanxu Zhang,Theodore S. Dibble,Franz Slemr,H. M. Amos,Johan A. Schmidt,Johan A. Schmidt,Elizabeth Sturges Corbitt,Eloise A. Marais,Elsie M. Sunderland +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new mechanism for atmospheric Hg0√√HgII redox chemistry in the GEOS-Chem global model and examine the implications for the global atmospheric HOg budget and deposition patterns.
