Smart Technologies for the Control of Emerging Contaminants in Ambient Air

(Corresponding) Galang M., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Air quality protection and control is an issue of growing interest. The aspects related to the spread of the coronavirus have accentuated this attention. Furthermore, among the emerging contaminants (EC’s) in ambient air, the microplastics (1 – 5 μm) are a great concern arising from anthropogenic...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.

Design of Road-Side Barriers to Mitigate Air Pollution near Roads

(Corresponding) Huertas J., Aguirre J., Lopez O., Lopez C.
Topic: 
Air pollution
The effects of using solid barriers on the dispersion of air pollutants emitted from the traffic of vehicles on roads located over flat areas were quantified, aiming to identify the geometry that maximizes the mitigation effect of air pollution near the road at the lowest barrier cost. Toward that...Read more
