The University of Western Macedonia (UoWM) has recently set up an operational system for predicting air quality in the Florina–Ptolemais–Kozani basin in Western Macedonia, Greece. This is a mountainous basin where around 65% of the total energy production of Greece takes place in lignite power plants. The concentrations of PM10 is the main air quality concern in the region, and the high particu...
