Manders, A.M.M. (author), Ketzel, M. (author)Air quality in Europe has been considered an issue since the 1950s and has improved considerably over the past decades. Emissions in 2018 were reduced considerably as compared to 2005, with emission reductions of SOx of more than 50%, of NOx of about 40% and of PM10 of about 25%. Nowadays, many areas comply with the limit values of the European...bookPart 2023

Sturm, P.O. (author), Manders, A.M.M. (author), Janssen, R.H.H. (author), Segers, A.J. (author), Wexler, A.S. (author), Xiang Lin, H. (author)The chemical transport model LOTOS-EUROS uses a volatility basis set (VBS) approach to represent the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere. Inclusion of the VBS approximately doubles the dimensionality of LOTOS-EUROS and slows computation of the advection operator by a factor of two. This complexity limits SOA...article 2022
