During the last few decades, air pollution has become one of the major environmental and public health issue in every important cities over the world. Photochemical pollutants, like ozone which play a central role in today's air pollution problems, are for ...
Methyl tertiary hexyl ether (MtHxE) and methyl tertiary octyl ether (MtOcE) are currently being developed as replacement oxygenates for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) in gasoline. As was the case with MtBE, the introduction of these ethers into fuel su ...
Ozone (O3) and aerosols are harmful to human health. Long-range transport sources contribute to the background levels upon which local pollution builds. The goal of this thesis is to describe and quantify the respective contribution of local and long-range ...
Bogota has more than 8 million inhabitants and is the 5th biggest urban agglomeration in Latin America. It has more than one million vehicles and a large number of small industries. High levels of air pollutants are thus detected. The purpose of this work ...
Growing population, extensive use (and abuse) of the natural resources, increasing pollutants emissions in the atmosphere: these are a few obstacles (and not the least) one has to face with nowadays to ensure the sustainability of our planet in general, an ...
Since regulations concerning traffic noise are becoming more and more demanding, meteorological effects (turbulence, temperature and wind speed gradients) can no more be neglected in noise propagation prediction at long ranges. To validate numerical models ...
Many of our most severe problems of environmental pollution involve the Earth's atmosphere. The adverse effects of atmospheric pollution are particularly evident in the low troposphere, especially in urban/suburban areas where many sources contribute to th ...
Numerical simulations compared with field measurements are used to explain the effect of sea breezes on photochemical smog episodes in Athens during the Mediterranean Campaign of Photochemical Tracers on 12-14 September 1994. The numerical simulations, per ...
Two versions of the Emission Inventory (EI) are generated for the city of Bogota, Colombia. In the first version (EI-1), CORINAIR traffic emission factors (EFs) are used. In the second (EI-2), bulk traffic EF's calculated for the city, using in situ measur ...
During the last century, urban pollution has increased with the growth of cities. Urban air quality has become a high priority as it is directly linked to concerns such as human exposure and health. The present work is dedicated to urban air quality modeli ...
