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

空气质量管理的首要目标是保护人类健康和环境。目前，缺少的两个环节是准确估计接触空气污染物的情况，从而确定与健康结果的因果关系，以及定量确定污染源贡献，以帮助制定和评估减少风险战略。NSERC的资金将支持提高我们的知识，并通过整合所有三个组成部分的新方法协助管理决策：密集监测，排放清单开发和应用，以及计算机模型模拟。

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.
