Estimate the emissions of carbon dioxide from ethylene production using Tier 1 and Tier 2 approaches. The feedstock is naphtha and the quantity of secondary products are to be assumed based on default values provided in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. The quantity of feedstock (i.e., ethane) is 1.8 million tons and the production of ethylene is 1.15 million tons.

Find the estimated annual emissions of NOx, VOCs, SO2 and PM for the United States for two historic years (say 2000 and 2019) with information about major categories (e.g., mobile, non-mobile, EGU, area, etc.). Likewise, find the CO, NO2, ozone and PM2.5 concentrations for similar years in your city of choice (look at annual PM2.5 and 4th highest 8-hr ozone, you can choose which CO and NO2 metric to consider). Discuss how the emissions have changed by category and link that to how the concentrations have changed.
