New study suggests reported PAH emissions in oil sands region greatly underestimated

Green Car Congress

Data describing emissions to air compiled from two official sources result in simulated concentrations in air, soil, water, and foliage that tend to fall close to or below the minimum measured concentrations of phenanthrene [PHE], pyrene [PYR], and benzo(a)pyrene [BaP] in the environment. Accounting for evaporative emissions (e.g.,

heat is generally driven westward and towards the poles , being lost as it escapes to the atmosphere and space. As the then lighter-than-water automaton floats back up toward the surface, it takes a series of measurements in a single column.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference NÂș 2. How PHEV enhances The Electric Infrastructure.
