Stratégies de réduction de la pollution de l’air extérieur

Les recherches visent à développer des outils et des méthodes pour concevoir des stratégies efficaces de réduction de la pollution de l’air. Ceux-ci couvrent aussi bien les échelles Européenne, régionales, urbaines ou d’un quartier.

• Bien simuler les liens qui existent entre émissions et concentrations de polluants ;
• Bien simuler la dynamique atmosphérique ;
• Développer des outils d’aide à la décision pour réduire l’exposition des populations à la pollution de l’air.
