An air quality modelling system for a medium-sized town: a case study in Estonia
The air pollution modelling system used in Tartu (population 101,000) is aimed at examining the pollution levels in different meteorological conditions, and determining optimal traffic schemes and strategic development plans for the city. The system consists of: (i) a Gaussian plume model AEROPOL, and (ii) a database on sources of NOx2Keywords: AEROPOL model, air pollution modelling, air ...

Synergetic use of TERRA/MODIS imagery and meteorological data for studying aerosol dust events in Cyprus
This paper presents the results from the analysis of TERRA/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) images for the detection and mapping of particulate air pollution in Cyprus. For this purpose, a set of selected air pollution events for the year 2002 was used, mainly associated with dust transported over the area from the surrounding deserts. The results depict the potential of the use ...

Analysis of local concentration gradients in complex built environments: implications for Air Quality Management Areas
This paper reviews the existing guidance on placement of permanent air quality monitoring stations within urban areas and suggests the principles for a new, performance-based guidance. An integrated air quality model has been developed and validated for the designated Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) located in Glasgow City Centre to analyse the importance of local concentration gradients on ...

Mobile air quality monitors: More data for better informed decisions
HIGHLIGHTS Vehicle-based air quality monitoring makes it possible to obtain hyperlocal data. The data collected by our Kunak Air Mobile station is extremely reliable thanks to the special design of the protective housing. The implementation of this solution makes it possible to complement reference monitoring networks, overcoming the spatial limits of stationary equipment. ...

Parametric study of the dispersion aspects in a street-canyon area
Most modern cities practically consist of street canyons, making monitoring of the level of their pollution an important issue. In this study, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of pollutant dispersion was performed for a real, complex-geometry street canyon for various wind directions and speeds. Typical street-canyon effects – like the formation of a longitudinal vortex for wind ...

Ambient Air Monitoring System: A Professor in Managing Air Quality
Air is a combination of gases with a constant percentage of each component. The appropriate balance of gases in the air is critical for living creatures. When dangerous elements, i.e., pollutants, are added to the air, the composition of the air changes. Air pollution has a lot of negative health effects. The Air Quality Monitoring System reduces the number of pollutants to a safe level. This ...
