Abstract:
Air quality dispersion models can be used to provide information about the impact of individual emission sources or source categories on the air quality and to predict air quality as a result of changes in emissions, such as increase of traffic, emission control measures, etc. Dispersion models can be used to complement the data gained by monitoring as the spatial coverage of air quality information provided by monitoring is often limited. They are also an important tool for supporting air quality improvement plans and programmes. In this paper, based on combination of few existing air pollution models, we are presenting, as a main contribution of this paper, the first this-kind of study for the city of Skopje. This study uses measurements for emissions of many physical and chemical parameters from traffic sources in order to produce the general picture of the pollution on annual level. Our system based on real time air pollution visualization is easy extendible to national and trans-boundary levels, that is one of the most important EU recommendations. At the same time, this is the first step in building the real time decision (not only prediction) support system.
