Beschreibung:
Urban atmospheres are clearly distinguishable from most rural and all remote atmospheres by their high primary pollutant loadings and relatively fast reaction times. However, these rapid reactions are currently poorly captured by numerical models. Recent research on urban air pollution has focused upon cities as a source of air pollutants to the regional and global atmosphere. This neglects the impact of urban air pollution upon human health. With the increasing urbanisation of human populations, this topic is of great importance.
Addresses key questions and over-arching issues related to understanding chemistry in the urban atmosphere.
Chemical Complexity of the Urban Atmosphere and its Consequences; Timescales of Mixing and of Chemistry; Urban Case Studies; Numerical Modelling Strategies for the Urban Atmosphere.
