“…These sources may be related to biomass activity and sediment conditions and can vary in type and amount based on environmental conditions and soil types [78,79]. Soils have been found to both absorb and emit VOCs, with enhanced emissions observed under certain conditions, such as increased soil temperature and decreased soil water availability [80,81].…”

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major ingredients of photochemical smog. It is essential to know the spatial and temporal variation of VOC emissions. In this study, we used the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model for VOC source apportionment in Mexico City. We first analyzed a data set collected during the ozone season from March–May 2016. It includes 33 VOCs, nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the sum of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particle matter with a diameter < 1 μm (PM1). Another PMF analysis focused only on VOC data obtained in the month of May between the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2022 to gain insights into interannual variations. While the use of fossil fuel through combustion and evaporation continues to be major fraction in Mexico City, additional sources could be identified. Apart from biogenic sources which become more important closer to the end of the ozone season, a second natural emission factor termed “geogenic”, was identified. Overall, anthropogenic sources range between 80–90%. Diurnal plots and bivariate plots show the relative importance of these emission source factors on different temporal and spatial scales, which can be applied in emission control policies for Mexico City.

“…According to the applications of the indigenous inhabitants of the Bieszczady Mountains, the number of such places may exceed 250 [17,19]. The places of crude oil outflow and natural gas exhalation are also interesting from the scientific point of view, as evidenced by numerous articles and scientific studies [11,12,[21][22][23][24][25].…”

The oldest oil basin in the world is located in the Polish Carpathians. Former mines, often abandoned, have become technical monuments. The growing popularity of industrial tourism in the world and in Poland attracts more and more tourists who want to "find oil" on their own. In most cases, these are abandoned crude oil and natural gas mines, being in such places is associated with the risk of poisoning, ignition or explosion of escaping gases from unprotected crude oil mines or borehole outlets. The article also points to the heritage of oil mining in the Polish Carpathians and related cultural routes. The author focuses on the issue related to the occurrence of the hazard zone of hydrogen sulphide poisoning or methane explosion in the sites of old oil mines. It presents the possibility of using the mobile multi-gas detector Dräger X-am 8000 as a personal device for monitoring the concentration of gases and vapours considered toxic and / or explosive, such as Methane or Hydrogen Sulfide. It also proposes the use of the Dräger X-am 8000 multi-gas detector, which in combination with the Dräger X-site Live real-time area monitoring module can serve as a mobile system for short- or long-term monitoring of the above-mentioned zones.

In this study we analyze an air quality data set, which was collected in the vicinity of the center of Mexico City during the ozone season from March to May 2016. It includes 33 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the sum of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particle matter with a diameter less than 1 μm (PM1). We use the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) receptor model to apportion ambient VOC concentrations into nine emission source factors, The analysis for all the data reveals the following breakdown of emission factors: secondary aerosol precursors, accounting for 21.7% of the total mass, followed by the source factors NO2 (20.4%), traffic-1 (19.3%), traffic-2 (16.2%), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) (7.3%), geogenic (5.3%), biogenic (4.5%), incomplete fuel evaporation (2.7%), and solvents (2.2%). While the use of fossil fuel through various types of combustion and evaporation continues to be major fraction in Mexico City, additional sources could be identified. Apart from biogenic sources which tend to be more important closer to the end of the ozone season a second natural emission factors termed “geogenic” was identified. Overall, anthropogenic sources contribute almost 90%. Diurnal plots and bivariate plots show the relative importance of these emission source factors on different temporal and spatial scales which can be applied in emission control policies for Mexico City.
