Assessment of climate characteristics and long-term trends of rainfall and drought in the Congo River Basin,
, vol. 13, issue 11, pp. 3906 - 3933, 2022/10/10.
AbstractThis study aims to assess patterns, variability, and trends of rainfall and meteorological drought and identify the different climatic zones using 42-year monthly TerraClimate gridded precipitation data at 23 sites distributed to cover the entire Congo River Basin. The spatial distribution of seasonal rainfall and the Köppen climate classifications indicated that the Congo River Basin has three main climatic zones. Where the highest rainfall is received in zone A (north of 2.5°N) during June–August (JJA), in zone B (3.5°S–2.5°N) during March–May (MAM) and September–November (SON), and in zone C (south of 3.5°S) during December–February (DJF). The Mann–Kendall (M–K) trend analysis of seasonal and annual patterns of rainfall and standardized precipitation drought index (SPI) revealed that there were significant negative trends in most of the three climatic Congo zones except for slight positive trends in small parts within zone C, especially during JJA, which are found sometimes in zone B. Finally, the three Congo climatic zones are characterized by negative trends for seasonal and annual data of both rainfall and the SPI, indicating increased drought risks in the Congo Basin except for small parts in zone C which have positive (wet) trends, especially during JJA followed by DJF.

Assessment the impact of different fuels used in cement industry on pollutant emissions and ambient air quality: a case study in Egypt,
, vol. 21, issue 1, pp. 107 - 121, 2023.
AbstractThis study aims to assess the impact of using different fuels in Egyptian Titan Alexandria Portland Cement Company on emissions and concentrations of pollutants (Total suspended particles (TSP), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)) and their influence on ambient air quality during the period 2014–2020 using AERMOD dispersion model. The results showed that changing the fuel from natural gas in 2014 to coal mixed with alternative fuels (Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF), Dried Sewage Sludge (DSS), and Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF)) in 2015–2020 caused fluctuating variations in pollutant emissions and concentrations. The highest and lowest maximum concentrations of TSP occurred in 2017 and 2014 respectively, where the TSP is positively correlated with coal, RDF, and DSS and negatively correlated with natural gas, diesel, and TDF. Also, the lowest and highest maximum NO2 concentrations were detected in 2020 and 2016 followed by 2017 respectively, where NO2 is positively correlated with DSS and negatively correlated with TDF and varies with diesel, coal, and RDF. Moreover, the maximum concentrations of SO2 were the lowest in 2018 and highest in 2016 followed by 2017 because of its considerable positive correlation with natural gas and DSS and negative correlation with RDF, TDF, and coal. Generally, it was found that increasing the percentage of TDF and RDF with decreasing the percentage of DSS, diesel, and coal will reduce pollutant emissions and concentrations and enhance ambient air quality.
