The document summarizes studies on the effect of street cleaning equipment on PM10 levels. It finds that mechanical brush sweeping and vacuuming are not efficient at reducing short-term street surface PM10 emissions. However, a modern street scrubber showed reductions in PM10 emissions from street surfaces, especially at high dust levels in early spring. Minimizing PM10 emissions from cleaning equipment outflows is also possible with advanced filtering technologies.

The "Clean City" project proposes a comprehensive solution to reduce air pollution by creating a network of electrostatic air purification stations to continuously clean the air across a city. The innovative system was developed by Kazakhstani physicists and uses an efficient electrostatic filter to capture 99% of particulate matter. The proposal seeks $1.3 million in funding to demonstrate an initial station, develop control software, and install the first network in Almaty, Kazakhstan over 24 months. Successful implementation could eventually lead to smog elimination in entire cities or countries through strategic placement of optimized purification stations.

Street sweeping is an effective and cost-efficient way to manage stormwater runoff according to a recent USGS survey. The survey found that residential areas contribute more phosphorus and particulate runoff than commercial areas, with residential streets yielding 29-35% more on average. Street sweepers were also more effective on residential streets, removing 82% of debris compared to 78% on commercial streets. The survey shows that regular street sweeping is a solid first line of defense for managing urban pollution in stormwater.
Street cleaning
Street cleaning has been an important part of maintaining sanitation in cities since the 19th century. Early street cleaners used brooms and shovels, while modern machines can vacuum and collect debris and small particles to help reduce water pollution. The first mechanical street sweepers were invented in the 1840s in Manchester, England and 1849 in the United States. Today's regenerative air sweepers use forced air and vacuuming to collect debris efficiently. Advances in technology allow modern sweepers to collect smaller particles than older models.
Clean street project
This document outlines a project to improve street cleanliness in Zone 1 of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The goal is to decrease disease and create an attractive environment through better waste management. Zone 1 generates a high waste volume as a business center. Currently, streets and drainage lines are used as dumps, causing odor and pollution. The project has two phases: the first involves awareness campaigns, street cleaning, and enforcing rules with community participation. The second phase focuses on infrastructure like drainage and roads. Monitoring will be done quarterly by health experts. The estimated two-year budget is 3.9 million Birr from various sources to pay cleaners, educators, and materials.

Session 33 Riekele de Boer
The document summarizes the findings of the Air Quality Innovation Programme (IPL) in the Netherlands from 2005-2010. The IPL investigated potential measures to improve air quality along motorways through large-scale field tests. It found that wet cleaning of roads with calcium chloride reduced PM10 levels by 10-30%. Planting vegetation had little direct impact on pollution levels but helped slightly at moderate distances. Catalytic coatings on noise barriers and dynamic traffic management showed limited effectiveness. Canopies and air filtration systems showed potential but have high costs. The IPL yielded valuable data but some issues require further study, and source-based measures may be more effective than end-of-pipe solutions.

AIR POLLUTION AND ITS CONTROL MEASURES IN CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
This document discusses air pollution from the construction sector and measures to control it. It defines primary and secondary air pollutants such as NOx, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 that are emitted from construction activities like excavation, vehicular movement, batching plants, and demolition. 30% of air pollution is caused by dust from construction sites. Control measures discussed are using anti-smog guns to sprinkle water and reduce airborne particles, covering vehicles transporting materials, recycling construction waste on-site, and installing dust barriers around construction perimeters. The aim is to limit air pollution and keep pollutant levels within standards to protect public and environmental health.
Seig seminar 2014 - A Smarter Way to Lower Emissions - Kenny Bissett
Fife Council's air quality strategy involves managing local traffic to improve air quality in two areas. Monitoring found exceedances of NO2 and PM10 standards in Cupar's Bonnygate and Dunfermline's Appin Crescent due to traffic. Action plans for these areas focus on traffic management measures like queue relocation in Bonnygate and lane markings in Appin Crescent, which modeling shows can reduce pollutant levels. The council also partners with organizations and engages communities to integrate air quality into policies and strategies.
Air pollution emilia joanna zahary
Bulgaria has some of the highest levels of air pollution in Europe due to its reliance on coal for energy production and industrial activities. Several cities in Bulgaria, including Stara Zagora, have particulate matter levels far exceeding EU standards. Common pollutants found in Bulgarian air include sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and ground-level ozone, which are emitted from power plants, vehicles, industrial facilities, and other sources when fossil fuels are burned. High pollution levels pose serious risks to public health, contributing to increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular illness. Efforts to improve air quality have focused on reducing coal usage, improving vehicle emissions standards, and developing renewable energy.
Wear and Resuspension Particles form Road Traffic - Source and Emissions Factors
Wear and Resuspension Particles form Road Traffic - Source and Emissions FactorsB·Debate - International Center for Scientific Debate
1) The document discusses sources of non-exhaust particulate matter emissions from road traffic, including road wear, resuspension of road dust, brake wear, and tire wear.
2) Field campaigns in Switzerland measured emission factors for these sources using different methods, finding that abrasion and resuspended dust accounted for about 50% of traffic-related PM10.
3) Road wear was minor for intact pavements but damaged ones saw higher emissions, while resuspension depended more on available road dust than traffic volume. Tire wear appeared to be a minor source.EESAP4 Yepez Salmon, Grace
This document describes NEST, a tool developed by Nobatek to evaluate the environmental impacts of urban planning projects in their early design phases. NEST calculates sustainability indicators such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, waste production, and water usage for different design scenarios. It was tested on a hypothetical new neighborhood project in France comparing a higher-density, sustainable design (Scenario 0) to a lower-density, conventional design (Scenario 1). The results showed the sustainable design performed better across all indicators, reducing energy use by 41%, carbon emissions by 16%, waste by 25%, water use by 47%, and air pollution by 20% while increasing housing capacity by 40%.

- It describes work being done to develop new, higher resolution global and European anthropogenic emissions inventories based on recent developments and incorporating temporal and speciation information.
- Issues with current datasets like inconsistent species emissions and lack of recent years are noted. Developing updated datasets exceeds current contract scopes.
- Evaluation of inverse modeling results and recommendations for improving emissions specification, resolution and temporal profiles are discussed.
CLIMATIC - efficient advanced pollution control system, GIFA Foundry Fair 2015
This document summarizes testing of a new gas phase advanced oxidation (GPAO) system called Climatic for controlling pollution from foundries. Laboratory tests showed the system can remove common pollutants like benzene with removal rates varying based on reaction rate constants. An initial field test at a foundry effectively removed benzene but performance was impacted by varying pollution levels. A second larger field test effectively removed amines and tetraethyl silicate, achieving over 90% removal rates. The system uses UV light to generate hydroxyl radicals to oxidize pollutants in a fast and efficient manner suitable for treating large exhaust air flows.

While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

AI & Electronic WarfareDigital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
