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?
