A Climate-Driven Dynamic Model for Highway Emissions in Arid Cities Modifying AP-42 and EEA Algorithms with Silt Loading, Building Geometry, and Fuel Density Parameters
Accurate assessment of vehicular air pollution in arid urban environments remains a challenge because standard emission models often overlook localized influences such as climate-driven dust resuspension and urban canyon effects. This study develops an enhanced modeling framework that integrates critical regional parameters into established algorithms to improve estimates of traffic-related emissions, including PM10, PM2.5, CO, and NO2. The US EPA’s AP-42 algorithm was modified to incorporate a novel highway width-to-building height ratio (I/H) and a climate-driven dynamic silt loading model derived from satellite data, while the European EEA algorithm was refined by introducing an explicit fuel density correction (ρ). The framework was applied and validated on two representative highways in Jordan—an industrial corridor and an urban-commercial artery—using continuous sensor-based measurements. Results indicate substantial improvement in predictive performance, with reductions of 60–77% in normalized difference for particulate matter and 72% for CO. The model successfully distinguished between emission regimes, capturing a seasonal silt-loading peak of approximately 17.5 g/m2 during autumn at the industrial site, compared to more stable, traffic-dominated emissions along the urban corridor. Although NO2 performance showed modest gains (4–40%) due to complex photochemical processes, the overall framework proved to be a robust and reliable tool for air quality assessment in arid cities. This adaptable approach provides a foundation for targeted air pollution management, and future work will integrate real-time dispersion dynamics and photochemical modules to better capture secondary pollutant formation.

Travel Agent for Newark, N.J.-Based Financial Firm Verifies Hotel Safety
As manager of Newark-based Prudential Financial Inc.'s preferred hotel program, [Kelly Jordan Gatti] stays in hotels throughout the world, looking to see if they are up to snuff. Her visits are not just to see if the color of the bedspread matches the curtains, but more importantly, to determine if the business traveler will be safe. From smoke detectors to sprinkler systems, from well-illuminated hallways to inspecting the exit stairways, Gatti makes sure hotels are safe for the 58,000 employees of Prudential. Ray Ellis, a hotel safety expert and a professor at the Conrad Hilton College at the University of Houston, says an act of Congress in 1990 forced the lodging industry to see that that the bottom line would be impacted if sprinklers and smoke detectors weren't installed in every room. The 1990 Hotel and Motel Safety Act prohibited federal employees from staying in facilities that were four floors or higher without sprinklers and hard-wired smoke detectors.
