New Article Published: ECO PHYSICS CLD 899 Y Used for Measurement of Ambient Air Pollution
NOx: Traffic Dramatically Underestimated as Major Polluter Traffic contributes more to nitrogen oxide emissions in Europe than previously thought. This is the result of a current study carried out by scientists from the University of Innsbruck. The research team headed by Thomas Karl shows that even newer air quality models underestimate traffic related nitrogen oxide pollution by up to a factor ...
