Characterization of intra-urban exposure and source impacts of air pollution through monitoring and modeling

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The above all goal of air quality management is to protect human health and our environment. Presently, the two missing links are accurate estimation of exposure to air pollutants which establishes a causal relationship with health outcomes, and quantitative identification of source contributions in order to aid development and evaluation of risk reduction strategies. NSERC funding will support efforts to improve our knowledge and assist management decisions through a novel approach integrating all three components: intensive monitoring, emission inventory development and application, and computer model simulation.
