Abstract

The aim of this study is to support decision makers and stakeholdersin the management of air quality in an industrial area located in a valley insouthern Italy, where neither air quality nor meteorological parameters areroutinely monitored. The first phase focused on the inventory of emissionsthrough monitored data at stacks, permissions to emit from local authorities,and life cycle assessment inventories. Then, the air quality modelling systemRAMS-CALMET-CALPUFF was used to simulate local meteorology andatmospheric dispersion of pollutants emitted from the industrial sites and thehighway. Preliminary results have provided practical recommendations toequip the area with monitors for both meteorological parameters andconcentrations of NOx and PM10, since industrial and vehicle (from bothhighway and local roads) emissions, added to domestic sources, maypotentially infringe air quality standards.
