Urban air pollution
(Springer Cham, 2019)
Air pollution is currently the most serious environmental risk worldwide. Air pollution is the result of different driving forces (demography, economic growth, consumption patterns, energy options, cultural traditions, ...
Advances in air quality modeling and forecasting
The importance of and interest to research and investigations of atmospheric composition and its
modeling for different applications are substantially increased. Air quality forecast (AQF) and assessment
systems help ...
Spatial distribution of ground-level urban background O3 concentrations in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2013-12)
In this work, a recently developed urban-scale atmospheric dispersion model (DAUMOD-GRS) is applied to evaluate the ground-level ozone (O3) concentrations resulting from anthropogenic area sources of NOx and VOC in the ...
Simple atmospheric dispersion model to estimate hourly ground-level nitrogen dioxide and ozone concentrations at urban scale
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) present potential health risk at large urban centres worldwide. Modelling their ground-level concentrations is a fundamental part of urban air quality assessment studies. ...
Air quality at Santiago, Chile: A box modeling approach - I. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide
(2002)
Ambient monitored data at Santiago, Chile, are analyzed using box models with the goal of assessing contributions of different economic activities to air pollution levels. The period analyzed is 1990-2000, characterized ...
Upgrade of the DAUMOD atmospheric dispersion model to estimate urban background NO2 concentrations
(Elsevier, 2012-08)
Ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) resulting from the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an urban area, may cause adverse impacts on the human health and the natural ...
Analysis of urban pollution episodes by inverse modeling
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Urban pollution episodes pose two relevant issues: a) was the episode controlled by specific meteorology, a rise of emissions or both? b) Were mitigation measures effective in curbing down pollution? A methodology for ...
Spatiotemporal variation of forest cover and its relation to air quality in urban andean socio-ecological systems
(2021)
Confronting the dynamics of global urbanization is one of the challenges of sustainability in the 21st century. Latin America is expected to be one of the regions with the highest urban growth; however, research related ...
