While concentrations of most air pollutants have been decreasing in Europe over the past 20 years, ozone (O3 ) is showing variable trends, with increasing average concentrations and decreasing peak ones. The complexity of O3 chemistry adds to the difficulty of...
This article presents results from a modelling study carried out to assess the influence that shipping emissions have on the air quality in European port cities. Using a 3-D chemical transport model (LOTOS-EUROS) and its source apportionment capabilities, the...
In a previous study, we assessed the efficiency of reducing either traffic or industrial emissions on various ozone metrics for several cities in Europe, based on the Air Control Toolbox surrogate model. Here, we perform various model parametrisation sensitivity...
In view of upcoming more stringent air quality limits and the ambition to align with the WHO guidelines, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution from traffic and other sources will remain a problem in the EU. To assess the impact of traffic measures and emission reductions...
While concentrations of most air pollutants have been decreasing in Europe over the last 20 years, O3 is showing variable trends, with increasing average and decreasing peak concentrations. The complexity of O3 chemistry adds to the difficulty of understanding both...
