Concawe Review 32.2 – Special Air Quality Edition

This Review is focused on air quality.

The first and third articles in this Review summarise studies conducted in collaboration with TNO, which analyse the influence that some sectors have on the ambient air quality in cities. The first article assesses the influence of international and inland shipping activity on atmospheric air quality in 19 European port cities, while the influence of aviation activity, with a focus on six European cities with large airports in their vicinities, is the theme of the third article.

The second article throws some light on ozone, a pollutant with complex chemistry that makes it difficult to identify how its concentrations can be mitigated. The article focuses on the ‘Atlas of ozone chemical regimes in Europe’, developed in cooperation with Ineris, for which changes in ozone metrics as a result of reductions in road transport and industrial emissions have been simulated for 22 European cities.
