The limitation of the methane (CH4) emission in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin as a result of the Polish Mining Group closing program.

Dreger M.

Topic:

Air pollution

Hard coal mining is responsible for 9% of the worldwide methane emission to the atmosphere. Methane is the second strongest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, but its radiative power is 25-30 times stronger than the radiative power of CO2 .In the Polish reality, hard coal mining is one of the...Read more

An integrated and comprehensive tool to assess urban mobility strategies

(Corresponding) Huertas J., Huertas M.

Topic:

Air pollution

Transport planning is a challenging topic to be addressed in urban areas in order to create sustainable cities, due to the adverse health effects, noise and congestions generated by the transport sector. Therefore, policymakers require technical tools that allow to take regulatory transport...Read more

Application of the PALM4U Model Coupled to WRF/Chem Model to Evaluate Wind Comfort and Air Pollution Impacts for Urban Scenarios

(Corresponding) SAN NJOSE R., PEREZ CAMANYO J.

Topic:

Air pollution

Air pollution and wind comfort are both important indicators of quality of life in urban environments. This study examines the influence of a tree area (Green Park) on the wind patterns and air pollution concentrations over a downtown urban area (1 km x 1 km) in Madrid (Spain) with the CFD PALM4U...Read more

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

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
