Source Apportionment and Integrated Assessment Modelling for Air Quality Planning

Source Apportionment and Data Assimilation in Urban Air Quality Modelling for NO2: The Lyon Case Study

Developing effective strategies for reducing the atmospheric pollutant concentrations below regulatory threshold levels requires identifying the main origins/sources of air pollution. This can be achieved by implementing so called source apportionment methods in atmospheric dispersion models. This study presents the results of a source apportionment module implemented in the SIRANE urban air-qu...

Air pollution and emission reductions over the Po-valley: Air quality modelling and integrated assessment

The Po-valley located in northern Italy at the footstep of the Alps is characterized by a high density of anthropogenic emissions and by the frequent occurrence of stagnant meteorological conditions. The area has been identified as one hot spot place where pollution levels will remain problematic in spite of the application of the current European legislation devoted to air pollution control. B...

Development of PM2.5 source impact spatial fields using a hybrid source apportionment air quality model

An integral part of air quality management is knowledge of the impact of pollutant sources on ambient concentrations of particulate matter (PM). There is also a growing desire to directly use source impact estimates in health studies; however, source impacts cannot be directly measured. Several limitations are inherent in most source apportionment methods motivating the development of a novel h...
