A versatile decision-support tool to assess air quality and health effects
(Corresponding) Relvas H., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Rafael S., Almeida S., Diapouli E., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This work presents a web-based policy tool for the development of effective particulate matter (PM) pollution strategies. The tool is based on an integrated modelling approach, from emissions to health effects, which allows testing measures to improve air quality, focused on PM2.5 levels, and...Read more
Multi-scale high-resolution atmospheric emission inventory for the transport sector
(Corresponding) Lopes D., Augusto B., Rafael S., Graça D., Rosa M., Relvas H., Ferreira J., Reis J., Lopes M.
Topic:
Air pollution
This study aims to develop a multi-scale atmospheric emission inventory for the transport sector with high spatial and temporal resolution using Portugal as a case study. For that, a combination of the traditional method of emissions calculation with an innovative way to gather and process data (...Read more

UrbEm: a method and tool to refine regional emission inventories for urban atmospheric studies
(Corresponding) Kakouri A., Ramacher M., Kuenen J., Speyer O., Gerasopoulos E., Athanasopoulou E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
As cities are growing in size and complexity, the estimation of air pollution exposure requires detailed spatial representation of air pollution levels. Intra-urban atmospheric studies require up-to-date and credible emission inventories. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides...Read more

Life Cycle Assessment and Cost Benefit Analysis for the integrated assessment of an innovative Mn-TiO2 nanoparticle photocatalytic paint
(Corresponding) Karagkounis A., Fragkou E., Barmpas F., Efthimiou G., Tsegas G., Moussiopoulos N.
Topic:
Air pollution and health
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) are applied in combination in the frame of an integrated assessment of a new photocatalytic paint product developed within the LIFE VISIONS project. The Mn-TiO2 nanoparticle photocatalytic paint has been demonstrated to efficiently remove...Read more
