Integrated Assessment Modelling for Air Pollution and Air Quality Control in Spain
The development of effective environmental policies is needed in order to meet air quality regulatory standards and emission ceilings in the future. The design, assessment and comparison of control strategies require the support of an integrated modelling system. Such a system must be able to evaluate nation-wide future atmospheric emission levels under different emission scenarios taking into account a variety of activity patterns, alternative fuel usage and technological reduction and regulatory options. Air pollution control (as well as greenhouse effect mitigation) usually entails significant economic and social costs and, therefore, the risk of error when designing abatement measures should be reduced as much as possible. This is the reason why the integrated modelling system must include the support of numerical air quality models. This paper shows the current state of the integrated modelling system being implemented in Spain. The system developed by the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) basically includes three major components. (1) Atmospheric emission projections model; (2) An air quality modelling system for the Iberian Peninsula based on WRF, SMOKE and CMAQ models; (3) Impact-oriented modules.
