AQ Watch Report with description of mitigation service. D4.2
report
Within the AQ-WATCH project, an operational mitigation service has been set-up providing
policy makers with a tool for the assessment of the efficiency of alternative actions to mitigate air pollution as well as the development of effective strategy options for air pollution abatement.
The mitigation service allows the user to reduce the emissions from pre-defined emission
sources and then provides information on the resulting expected changes in air pollutant
concentrations (nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3) or carbon
monoxide (CO)).
The service has been set-up for all three focus regions in AQ-WATCH, namely the Colorado
Northern Front Range in the USA, the region around Santiago de Chile and Cangzhou in China.
The service is based on 3 different models: 1. The LOTOS-EUROS model (targeting PM2.5, for
Colorado and Santiago), 2. the WRF-Chem model (targeting CO for Colorado), and 3. The
SIRANE model (targeting PM, NO2 and O3 for Xinhua District of Cangzhou).
This report outlines the set-up of the mitigation service and the status of the service operation.
