This paper first discusses the aerodynamic effects of trees on local scale flow and pollutant concentration in idealized street canyon configurations by means of laboratory experiments …
PM10 and PM2. 5 levels, concentrations of major components, trace elements, pH, conductivity and source apportionment were evaluated from samples collected during 2009 …
This paper focuses on the effectiveness of trees at dispersing road traffic emissions on a city scale. CFD simulations of air-pollutant concentrations were performed using the OpenFOAM …
Abstract The 2008 European Air Quality Directive (AQD)(2008/50/EC) encourages the use of models in combination with monitoring in a range of applications. It also requires Member …

This study evaluated the effectiveness of different configurations for two building design elements, namely building permeability and setback, proposed for mitigating air pollutant …
A methodology based on CFD-RANS simulations (WA CFD-RANS, Weighted Averaged Computational Fluid Dynamic-Reynolds–Averaged Navier–Stokes simulations) which …
Air quality management requires more detailed studies about air pollution at urban and local scale over long periods of time. This work focuses on obtaining the spatial distribution of NO …
The distribution of pollutants is spatially heterogeneous within urban streets making difficult to build a realistic concentration map. In this paper, a methodology based on computational …
