Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area
(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...Read more

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
