Performance Evaluation of a Portable and Cost-effective Atmospheric Particulate Matter Monitor

(Corresponding) Bezantakos S., Papaconstantinou R., Hadjigeorgiou N., Marinos C., Biskos G.

Topic:

Air pollution

Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors offer high potentials in air quality monitoring. Their performance, however, strongly depends upon the materials used, their design and on the sampling and operational conditions. In this work we evaluate the performance of the latest Alphasense PM sensors...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

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS MEASURES ON THE AIR QUALITY AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES

Oliva G., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Galang M., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

Air pollution

The World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of January 2020 declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the end of March 2020, the epidemic turned into the pandemic. The consequent stringent lockdown measures adopted to mitigate the spread of the virus generated huge...Read more

Assessment of particulate pollution in a medium sized Greek city - the effect of biomass burning and COVID-19 lockdown

(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Triantafyllou A., Garas S.

Topic:

Air pollution

Airborne particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10μm or less has severe negative effects on human health. In many European urban environments, small residential heating appliances contribute significantly to the degradation of air quality by generating a substantial quantity of PM...Read more

Technology hybridization for real time particulate matter monitoring

(Corresponding) Louat J., Thaury C., Ben Daoud A., Serge A.

Topic:

Air pollution

While the monitoring and management of air pollution remains a challenge at a regional level, it also becomes more and more sensitive at very local scale. Both, as hot spot sources, can be very localized, but vulnerable population (in schools, hospital…) due to fluidic effect, especially in cities...Read more

Evaluation of atmospheric pollutants dispersion using CFD numerical models

Fernández Pacheco V., (Corresponding) Antuña Yudego E., Suárez López M., Carús Candás J., Álvarez Álvarez E.

Topic:

Air pollution

This paper describes the approach of studying air pollution by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. It also includes a report of a series of investigations performed in order to illustrate the potential of such models with the aim to give a solution to the dispersion to resolve the...Read more
