Road transport has become by far the major source of environmental pollution and traffic congestion in urban areas. Though a lot of research has been done to investigate the functional relationship linking air quality and air pollution from transport, a further improvement in the knowing of this relationship is needed. The aim of this study was to analyze this relationship and to develop a more...

Air pollution has become one main environmental concern because of its known impact on human health. Aiming to inform the population about the air they are breathing several air quality modelling systems have been developed and tested allowing, nowadays, assessing and forecasting air pollution ambient levels in many countries. However, every day, one individual is exposed to different concentra...

Environmental protection of urban areas requires a wide range of data about air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, waste management, noise, transport, landscape, and energy supply. In order to perform impact assessment and model predictions, various techniques of short-term, medium-term and longterm monitoring are required for spatial processing and time series analysis. The Geographic...

Urban air pollution is associated with significant adverse health effects. Model-based abatement strategies are required and developed for the growing urban populations. In the initial development stage, these are focussed on exceedances of air quality standards caused by high short-term pollutant concentrations. Prediction of health effects and implementation of urban air quality information a...

Previous studies suggest that pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. A prospective cohort study in pregnant women and their children enables identification of the specific effects and critical periods. This paper describes the design of air pollution exposure assessment for participants of the Generation R Study, a population-based prosp...

High quality air pollution dispersion modelling over complex terrain using Lagrangian particle model consumes a lot of computational time. In this study has been determined that there are some air pollution situations where unnecessary computational time is spent like accumulation of air pollution in the domain during the calm or extra high emissions from sources due to temporary failure of exh...

pollution has become a very serious threat to our environment. monitoring pollution is the rst step toward planning to save the environment. the use of dierential equations, monitoring pollution has become possible. in this paper, a ritz-collocation method is introduced to solve non-linear oscillatory systems such as modelling the pollution of a system of lakes. the method is based upon bernoul...

We welcome the Subcommittee’s review of “Air Pollution Modelling in Hong Kong”. Hong Kong’s air quality is a topic of great public concern. The lack of progress in improving air quality has led many to question the effectiveness of our air quality management system. Most people understand that air quality modelling is important for our air quality management system because of its role in air qu...
