Abstract. The EURODELTA III exercise has facilitated a comprehensive intercomparison and evaluation of chemistry transport model performances. Participating models performed calculations for four 1-month periods in different seasons the years 2006 to 2009, allowing influence meteorological conditions on performances be evaluated. was with strict requirements input data, few exceptions. As consequence, most differences outputs will attributed formulations chemical physical processes. were...
In this study, the performance of two types source apportionment models was evaluated by assessing results provided 40 different groups in framework an intercomparison organised FAIRMODE WG3 (Forum for air quality modelling Europe, Working Group 3). The evaluation based on indicators: z-scores and root mean square error weighted reference uncertainty (RMSEu), with pre-established acceptability criteria. By involving completely independent input data, such as receptor (RMs) chemical transport...
This study investigates the effect of grid resolution on particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) mass concentrations and its chemical composition simulated with AMS-MINNI modelling system. The air pollution was over Italy resolutions 20 4 km, for a whole year. gridded emissions were produced performing speciation space-time disaggregation aggregated inventory data, using both land use information anthropogenic activity-based profiles. Often, fine simulations, based high emissions, improved...
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been related mortality in several epidemiological studies. The investigations have assessed using various methods achieving different accuracy predicting pollutants concentrations. comparison of the health effects estimates are therefore challenging. This paper aims compare effect long-term (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide, NO2) on cause-specific Rome Longitudinal Study, obtained models spatial...
This work describes the extension of Flexible Air quality Regional Model (FARM) to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Modules accounting for partitioning these species between gaseous and particulate phases were inserted in a simplified version model more state–of–the–art configuration implementing SAPRC99 gas–phase chemical mechanism coupled with aero3 aerosol module. Both versions FARM applied over Italy year 2005. The analysis results was focused on benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), which is...
The carbonaceous aerosol accounts for an important part of total mass, affects human health and climate through its effects on physical chemical properties the aerosol, yet understanding atmospheric sources sinks is still incomplete. This study shows state-of-the-art in modelling over Europe by comparing simulations performed with seven transport models (CTMs) currently air quality assessments Europe: CAMx, CHIMERE, CMAQ, EMEP/MSC-W, LOTOS-EUROS, MINNI RCGC. were carried out framework...
A source apportionment scheme based on gas and aerosol phase reactive tracers has been implemented in the chemical-transport model FARM, to efficiently estimate contributions of different sources ambient concentrations. The on-line deals with all main processes that chemical species undergo model, enhance consistency calculation bulk fate precursors through gas-phase reactions is followed by an efficient solver determines their incremental reactivity, while secondary particulate from gaseous...
Traffic-related air and noise pollution are important public health issues. The aim of this study was to estimate their effects on allergic/respiratory outcomes in adult elderly subjects.
This work shows preliminary results for heavy metals concentrations simulated with the atmospheric modelling system (AMS) of MINNI project. The simulation has been carried out year 2005 a horizontal resolution 25 km. As, Cd, Ni and Pb have, in general, highest values urban industrial areas compare well available measurements.
Abstract. The response of particulate matter (PM) concentrations to emission reductions was analysed by assessing the results obtained with two different source apportionment approaches. brute force (BF) method impacts, computed at various reduction levels using chemical transport models (CAMx and FARM), were compared contributions tagged species (TS) approach PSAT module). study focused on main sources secondary inorganic aerosol precursors in Po Valley (northern Italy): agriculture, road...
