dc.description.abstract | The project has
focused
on a number of scientific issues in the
development of the
GIS air quality model for the Dublin Area and its Satellite Towns
. Firstly, how to model
air quality
by integrating existing
and self
-
implemented
air quality models
and
a
Geographical Information System
platform
. Secondly, how to generate input data for
the
models
to
allow the
estimation of
air quality at any
location in the Dublin Area
.
These
issues
have
been addressed by
implementing
various
tools: a method to
calculate the background concentration levels, a
method to
model the dispersion of
pollutants from road traffic in urban street canyons
, a method to
model the dispersion
of pollutants from road traffic in general conditions
, and a method to
calculate the
dispersion of pollutants from point and area sources
. Thirdly,
an approach to include
all the models above into GIS tools
has
been discussed.
Fourthly, an approach for
disseminating results from air quality studies has been described and proposed. | en |
