Number: 2003-058-1-600

Title: Air pollution models in environmental management and assessment

Task Group
Chairman:
Ole Hertel

Members:
Jørgen Brandt and Jes Fenger

Objective:
Air pollution models are strong and necessary tools in environmental management. The aim is to describe the methodology behind application of mathematical models in various assessments of air pollution impacts. The book provide guidelines for avoiding incomplete or even incorrect answers when models are applied. How to select the right type of models for a given purpose and ensure they work properly with appropriate input data of the needed quality etc?

This project was presented at a poster session at the IUPAC Congress/GA July 2005
