Particulate Matter Emissions for Dust From Unique Military Activities

摘要: Abstract : Particulate Matter (PM) emission is a critical problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). PM emitted during DoD testing and training activities threatens safety respiratory health military personnel can impact urban populations encroaching on installations. Moreover, new regulations protecting visibility at Class I national parks, forests, wilderness areas mandate reductions in emissions its chemical precursors over next 60 years. Since many installations are located near areas, these likely to affect coming Military create unique dust sources not encountered civilian environment which have been accurately characterized quantified. Without source specific factors known precision accuracy, uncertainties estimates high. Understanding atmospheric surficial influences amount available longer distance transport as well modeling this phenomenon remains poor. As result applied without proper consideration that control transportable fraction will produce overestimates contributions.
