Application of a Lagrangian particle model to the source apportionment for primary macropollutants in Taranto area (South Italy)
A modelling system has been applied to estimate the annual contribution to the total concentrations of different pollutant sources in Taranto, one of the most industrialized areas in Italy. Industrial sources, traffic, domestic heating and harbour emissions have been taken into account. Modelling system includes 3-dimensional meteorological models SWIFT-SURFPRO with the Lagrangian particle ...

Modelling of air pollution in the area of Algiers City, Algeria
Algiers is the political and economic capital of Algeria. The city drains a large part of the activities of the country with intense road traffic. This road traffic is the main source of air pollution, followed by industry and waste combustion. An application of the new road traffic emission model, called EMISENS, is performed to build road traffic emission inventories for the Algiers region. ...

Annual European Community LRTAP Convention Emission Inventory 1990–2004
1.1 Background information on the InventoryThe United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (UNECE LRTAP Convention) was ratified (approved) by the European Community in 1982. Article 2 of the convention states that 'the Contracting Parties, taking due account of the facts and problems involved, are determined to protect man and his ...

Air–quality impact of PM10 emission in urban centres
This paper calculates a detailed inventory of PM10 emissions in the urban area of Mendoza, Argentina, and evaluates the impact of such emissions by using the CALPUFF dispersion program. It includes direct and indirect emissions from mobile sources; emissions from industrial sources and fugitive emissions from unpaved road and dust production from bare land. The main results show the relevance of ...

The Air Quality Management Decision Support System (AQMDSS) for Beijing, People's Republic of China
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has been experiencing rapid economic and industrial growth with associated increased air pollution. Government officials strive to improve air quality while maintaining growth. Implemented control measures have not achieved air quality goals; therefore, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau turned to air quality models to help identify sources ...

Assessment of air pollution in the conurbation of Munich: present and future
Traffic emissions have a severe impact to the environment with all its socio-economic consequences in urban conglomerations. Traffic emissions will still increase in the future, whereas other categories of emissions will decrease within the next years. Numerical simulations are a useful tool to assess the effect of different emissions on the regional air quality of primary and secondary ...

Applied comprehensive NO2 and particulate matter dispersion modelling for Switzerland
This paper presents the NO2 and Particulate Matter (PM) dispersion modelling for the whole of Switzerland. Air quality maps are computed for the year 2000 and future years. Future developments like the EURO-4 legislation on motor vehicles are taken into account. For all major source groups (road traffic, off-road traffic, industry, households, etc.), separate countrywide emission inventories with ...

Modelling surface pollutant concentrations in the city of Zurich
First results of a dispersion modelling study in the city of Zurich are presented. Surface pollutant concentrations (yearly averages) at several monitoring stations were modelled using the Danish OML-Multi operational model and compared with observations. For this purpose a detailed SO2 and NOx emission inventory for the year 1990 was constructed. The results show an average overestimation of the ...

More Changes Ahead for the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule
More Changes Ahead for the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule U.S. EPA continues to work on the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Rule (MRR) that was codified at 40 CFR Part 98 on October 30, 2009 (74 FR 56260). So far this work has included proposed new source categories and proposed amendments to the general provisions of the original MRR that will impact sources that are required to report ...

Using a photochemical air quality model to evaluate emissions and simulate concentrations
The air-quality modelling system was conducted to evaluate emissions inventory and simulate air concentration over Thailand. The coupling model of the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS) and the models-3 Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) was applied to simulate the concentration distributions of gaseous pollutants (i.e., NOx, SO2 and CO) over the Central and Eastern regions of ...
