Abstract

EMIAD, for evaluating alternative SC^/NO* emission reductions in the Antwerp region during air pollution episodes Guido Cosemans & Clemens Mensink VITO, Centre for Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Processes, #oarefaMg200, 2400 Mo/, ^e/gmm EMail: cosemang@vito.be Abstract EMIAD is a computer program allowing for a fast and easy investigation of the immission and meteorological quantities measured by the ambient air quality monitoring network in the Antwerp (Belgium) region. Three atmospheric transport and dispersion models (puff, segmented plume, steady state plume) allow to calculate the air pollution levels over the Antwerp region in a greater spatial detail than can be obtained from measurements. Modelling also allows for the determination of the contribution of different source categories to the global pollution, so that, during episodes of high pollution, the most effective emission reduction measures can be imposed. EMIAD is intended to be used daily by the operators of t
