本研究は、下水道ネットワークからのメタン（CH4）と一酸化二窒素（N2O）の排出係数（EF）に関する138のデータを24報の文献から統合し、統計モデル（Spearman、Random-Forest-SHAP、GAM）を用いて主要な駆動要因を特定した。圧力主管で溶存CH4が高く、N2Oは溶存態が優勢であること、CH4 EFは水理・有機物因子、N2O EFは窒素代謝経路に影響されることを示した。欠陥シミュレーションでは、欠陥の深刻化がCH4を抑制しN2Oを上昇させること、降雨がその乖離を増幅することを発見し、静的EFでは不十分で動的な排出係数が都市GHGインベントリに必要であると結論づけた。
English
This study synthesizes 138 emission factors (EFs) of CH₄ and N₂O from sewer networks across 24 studies (1994–2024). Using Spearman, Random-Forest-SHAP, and GAMs, it identifies key drivers: CH₄ EFs are governed by hydraulic and organic factors (A/V ratio, COD, depth, temperature), while N₂O EFs shift with nitrogen pathways (NH₄⁺-N, NO₃⁻-N, conductivity). Defect simulations reveal opposing trends—defect severity suppresses CH₄ but elevates N₂O, amplified by rainfall. The findings argue against static EFs, advocating context-sensitive, dynamic emission factors to sharpen urban GHG inventories.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の下水道インフラは老朽化が進行しており、管渠からのGHG排出は政策的な関心が高まっている。本論文は静的排出係数の限界を指摘し、動的な排出因子の導入を提案しており、日本のインベントリ改善や対策優先順位付けに示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, urban GHG inventories increasingly face the challenge of accurately accounting for non-CO₂ gases from infrastructure. This paper provides empirical evidence that emission factors for sewer networks are highly context-dependent, varying with hydraulics, chemistry, and pipe condition. It advances the call for dynamic emission factors in national inventories (e.g., under IPCC guidelines) and supports targeted abatement strategies for methane and nitrous oxide.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Drainage networks, long treated as passive conduits, are now recognized as GHG sources, yet controls on their emission factors (EFs) remain unclear. We synthesized 138 EFs (111 CH₄, 27 N₂O) from 24 studies (1994–2024), deploying Spearman, Random-Forest-SHAP, and GAMs to pinpoint drivers and nonlinear responses, alongside defect scenarios mimicking illicit flows and rainfall intrusion. Pressurized mains exhibited the highest dissolved CH₄, whereas N₂O partitioned predominantly into the dissolved phase across systems. CH₄ EFs responded chiefly to hydraulics and organics (A/V ratio, COD, depth, temperature), while N₂O EFs shifted toward nitrogen pathways (NH₄⁺-N, NO₃⁻-N, conductivity). Simulations revealed opposing trends: defect severity suppressed CH₄ but elevated N₂O, with rainfall amplifying this divergence. These findings argue against static EFs—emission factors are context-sensitive, varying with hydraulics, chemistry, and pipe integrity. Incorporating such dynamic dependencies would sharpen urban GHG inventories and targeted abatement strategies.
