This paper starts with some remarks on the present air pollution situation in Germany. The air quality standards will be presented and compared with data from the continuous monitoring network stations. Subsequently a short description of the tools in use for regulatory applications is given. The quality of these tools and their status of validation are critically discussed. Finally, conclusions are drawn and requirements for next-generation models identified.

Keywords: air pollution control, atmospheric dispersion models, Gaussian model, Germany, regulatory modelling, threshold values, environmental impact assessment, environmental pollution

    Did you know that the first crewed spacecraft to leave Earth`s orbit, reach Earth`s moon, orbit it, and return safely to Earth (Apollo 8) was launched into space using the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), which had a real time operating system which enabled the astronauts to enter simple commands to control the spacecraft? The AGCwas introduced in 1966 with approximately 64KB of memory, and it operated at 0.043MHz and weighed in at a mere 70 pounds(think of a toaster with start/stop/defrost buttons that would...

    As anyone who has ridden the subway knows, the air down there is unpleasant. New research done in Canada shows that air pollution levels in Toronto’s subway system are ten times greater than those above ground. It’s a troubling realization for subway-goers, but there are ways to keep these underground systems clean. A new studyled by University of Toronto chemical engineer Greg Evans and published in Environmental Science and Technology shows that trains and platforms along the Toronto Transit...
