air quality ESSAY

Reykjavik, Iceland vs. Gdynia, Poland Main Variable​: renewable energy vs. coal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Russia#Thermal https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants http://www.lignite.gr/OPET/CFF/WP3/WP3_Annex_3_11.pdf Objectives​: health increased mortality PM/six cities, other sources of PM and carbon, percentage of reductions to CO2 possible with clean coal tech, cost analysis converting clean coal tech or converting renewable energy, Introduction: Background:​ ​(Assia)

- What are the regulations? - What energy do the two cities primarily run on? - Population? - Energy consumption per capita? - Emissions per capita? - Geographic and weather information?

Data Analysis:

- Air quality - PM2.5 - Carbon emission

- Mortality rate VS. ​Six Cities - Energy use - Capacity of power plants -

Discussion:

- What are other sources of carbon emissions and PM? ​(Abigail) - Military port (Russia) - Transportation - Industry - Geographic/mixing differences

- Compare the two cities to ​Six Cities.​ Air quality and Mortality. ​(Presley) - PM values - Relation of air quality to health

- How much could cleaner coal technology reduce the emissions in Severodvinsk? (​Chester​)

- CO2 per kwh emissions? - Comparison to Reykjavik?

- How to get air quality & emissions in Severodvinsk to the levels of Iceland? (Chester)

- How much would this cost? - How much would it cost to upgrade to cleanest coal vs. how much would it cost
