| Dispersion models at LaMMA AIR QUALITY sector
are used in the study of transport and diffusion of pollutant gases in
the atmosphere. Besides some software tools of the Environmental
Protection Agency (such as in particular ISC3),
a GIS for urban traffic pollution management
and a meteorological and dispersion software package from ARIA
Technologies SA are currently available.
More specifically, their use aims at the following
goals:
-
supporting local subjects in managing urban traffic
related energetic and pollution problems;
-
providing some helping tools to design the traffic
urban planning systems;
-
wind and temperature field reconstruction over complex
orography;
-
vertical thermal profiles plotting over main urban
areas;
-
atmospheric pollution estimation;
-
locating highest pollution risk areas;
-
estimating environmental impact of existing or future
structures;
-
management support in emergencies for hazardous gaseous
releases.
