Thursday, March 24, 2015 1:00 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California's building code requires mechanical ventilation to manage indoor-generated pollutants in the state's airtight, energy efficient homes. Yet outdoor air also contains pollutants at levels that can be hazardous, including fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ozone. With the objective of informing new home designs and future versions of the building code, this study evaluated eight combinations of ventilation and air cleaning systems for pollutant removal and energy use.

Thursday, September 1, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a leading hypothesis for the mechanism by which particulate pollution contributes to a range of illnesses, including asthma and cardiovascular mortality. The goal of this study was to understand the components in particles responsible for ROS formation under physiological conditions. The investigators conducted a field campaigns in the South Coast Air Basin, aimed at capturing photochemical smog; and in Fresno, which has significant contributions from biomass burning. Samples were extracted in simulated lung fluid, and analyzed for their ability to generate ROS such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and hydroxyl radical (.OH) and to consume dithiothreitol (DTT) The contributions of transition metals and quinones to ROS formation was also investigated.

If you know someone in the air quality community – scientists, professors, legislators, activists, business leaders, and others – who has made a significant lifetime achievement, you can nominate them for an award by completing a nomination form. The form, as well as more information on the Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards, and previous recipients, can be found at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/research/hsawards/hsawards.htm The closing date for 2016 award nominations is December 1, 2016. Since 2001, the California Air Resources Board has annually bestowed the distinguished Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards to extraordinary individuals for their significant career accomplishments in at least one of these air quality categories: research, environmental policy, science and technology, public education and community service. Over the past 15 years there have been 44 acclaimed recipients. In light of the global connection between air quality and climate change, the scope of the program has expanded to include an international focus and a focus on climate change science and mitigation.

Amy Myers Jaffe, M.S., University of California, Davis and Nathan Parker, Ph.D., Arizona State University Friday, December 2, 2016 10:00 a.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California will need high volumes of alternative low carbon fuels to be able to meet its climate change goals. In order to support these goals, this study investigated the technological and commercial feasibility of producing large quantities of renewable natural gas fuels for use in California. The study’s results indicate that there are substantial sources of RNG in California that are commercially competitive with existing fossil fuel-based transportation fuels because carbon externalities are taken into consideration in the California market through existing programs such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS). At current credit prices including California’s LCFS and the U.S. federal Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits, up to 82 billion cubic feet per year (bcf/y) of RNG supply could be attractive for private investment at competitive rate of return in developing RNG sources from landfill, dairy, municipal solid waste and waste-water sites combined. We find that the LCFS credit of $120 per metric tonne of CO2, if taken alone, enables economically viable production of up to 14 bcf RNG transportation fuel over the study period, which begins in 2013 and extends into the 2020s, 6.3 bcf from landfill, 1.5 bcf from waste-water treatment, 1.75 bcf from municipal solid waste, and 4.3 bcf from dairy. If current carbon credit prices persist into the future for programs like the LCFS, a substantial portion of natural gas consumption in the transportation sector can be satisfied by RNG. The analysis also shows that increasing tipping fees for municipal solid waste can influence private investment in RNG. Finally, the study investigates the impact of California’s quality standards for RNG and distance to central distribution systems on the level of investment in certain kinds of RNG. These results support the implementation of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Short-lived Climate Pollutant Strategy, and incentive programs by providing insight into feasible methods to maximize the production of RNG via the most cost-effective pathways, thereby providing practical means to meet the State’s long term climate goals.
