Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That?s because when you breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is t...
A Lagrangian stochastic method of solving the diffusion equation for
inhomogeneous turbulence is presented in this paper. This numerical method uses (1) a first-order approximation for the spatial...
We are developing a new meteorological data assimilation
model for the Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) project at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, which provides real-time...
This paper describes new capabilities which are being incorporated into the Department of Energy's operational National Atmospheric Release Advisory
Center (NARAC) at Lawrence Livermore National...
Common sources of regulated air emissions are: heating and cooling systems, degreasers, steam generators (i.e., boilers), motor vehicles, turbines, wastewater treatment works, incinerators and fuel...
This Annapolis Center for Science-Based Public Policy report defines asthma, evaluates trends, and reviews how it is studied. It reviews potential triggers of asthma attacks and their proper...
The Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) at Lawrence Liverrnore National Laboratory is a centralized federal project for assessing atmospheric releases of hazardous materials in real time....
The EPA provides a brief explanation of carbon monoxide, where it comes from, its dangers, and what's being done to control it. A bar graph is given showing that emissions have gone down while travel...
Areas, sites, locations and facilities where construction, renovation, or deconstruction occur. Of special interest is the management of stormwater, construction debris, asbestos, and lead-based...
