Estimates of population exposure to atmospheric pollution and health-related externalities in a real city: The impact of spatial resolution on the accuracy of results

J. L. Santiago et al.

Summary: This study investigates the health impacts of atmospheric pollution in urban environments and evaluates different approaches to estimate population exposure. The results suggest that a spatial resolution of 1 km x 1 km or finer is required to obtain accurate estimates of total population exposure and health-related externalities. Furthermore, using air quality monitoring station concentrations can lead to significant errors in terms of population exposure.

Evaluation of Vegetation Configuration Models for Managing Particulate Matter along the Urban Street Environment

Na-Ra Jeong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of vegetation configurations on particulate matter (PM) flows for pedestrians in road traffic environments. The results showed that planting structures, such as multi-layer planting vegetation barriers, were effective at reducing PM concentrations on sidewalks, especially on wider roads.

High Spatial Resolution Assessment of the Effect of the Spanish National Air Pollution Control Programme on Street-Level NO2 Concentrations in Three Neighborhoods of Madrid (Spain) Using Mesoscale and CFD Modelling

Jose-Luis Santiago et al.

Summary: This article studies the effects of the measures considered for 2030 in the Spanish National Air Pollution Control Programme (NAPCP) on air quality. High spatial resolution modeling shows that in the emission scenarios for 2030, annual mean NO2 concentrations are estimated to be below 40 μg/m³ only with the additional measures of NAPCP.

Obstacles influence on existing urban canyon ventilation and air pollutant concentration: A review of potential measures

Riccardo Buccolieri et al.

Summary: Air pollution in cities poses a significant long-term health risk to urban populations. Research has explored passive methods, such as using "obstacles," to alter urban canyon airflow and enhance pollutant dispersion. This paper summarizes newer studies, their findings, and challenges in implementing these measures for existing urban canyons, aiming to develop urban design guidelines that improve air quality in the urban environment.

Indoor-outdoor pollutant concentration modelling: a comprehensive urban air quality and exposure assessment

J. L. Santiago et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between traffic-related pollutant concentrations at pedestrian level and indoor pollutant concentrations in different rooms of a standard building. Through CFD modelling, the study simulates wind flow and pollutant dispersion both outdoors and indoors. The results show that indoor pollutant concentrations vary significantly depending on the floor, window configuration, wind direction, and incidence angle. Generally, indoor concentrations decrease with floor, but the extent of decrease varies across scenarios and rooms. Indoor concentrations higher than the street average are found in some rooms due to high pollutant concentrations near open windows. However, on average, indoor concentrations are lower than those at pedestrian level. The average ratio between indoor and outdoor concentrations is 0.56 +/- 0.24, consistent with previous studies. This paper provides a unified approach for assessing air quality in indoor and outdoor environments.

NOx depolluting performance of photocatalytic materials in an urban area Part I: Monitoring ambient impact

Jaime Fernandez-Pampillon et al.

Summary: In the implementation of the LIFE MINOx-STREET European project, a commercial photocatalytic product was used on the asphalt road in Alcobendas, Spain. However, the results showed significant fluctuations in NOx concentrations in the environment, making it difficult to observe the NOx sink effect induced by the photocatalytic material.

Green infrastructure for air quality improvement in street canyons

Mamatha Tomson et al.

Summary: This review assesses the suitability of green infrastructure (GI) in street canyons for air quality improvement, highlighting green walls, green screens, and green roofs as potentially viable options in existing street canyons where planting space is limited. Deposition of pollutants on leaves is an important factor influencing the effectiveness of plant species in mitigating pollution, with micromorphological leaf traits such as grooves, ridges, trichomes, stomatal density, and epicuticular wax amount positively correlating with deposition. Further research is needed to substantiate the efficacy of green walls and green screens in street canyons.

NOx depolluting performance of photocatalytic materials in an urban area- Part II: Assessment through Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations

Beatriz Sanchez et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the impact of photocatalytic materials on NO2 concentrations in an urban environment, showing that the application of these materials only results in a minimal reduction of NO2 concentrations below 1% under the studied atmospheric conditions. In a hypothetical scenario where the photoactive area is extended to an entire neighborhood, a small decrease of NO2 concentrations below 2% is obtained under the prevailing daytime atmospheric conditions.

Estimates of pedestrian exposure to atmospheric pollution using high-resolution modelling in a real traffic hot-spot

J. L. Santiago et al.

Summary: The study aims to estimate pedestrians' exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx) concentrations in a real urban traffic hot-spot using different methodologies. High-resolution maps reveal exposure peaks for pedestrians at bus stops and crosswalks, not captured by simpler methods based on spatial average concentration or measurements from air quality monitoring stations.

A review of strategies for mitigating roadside air pollution in urban street canyons*

Yuhan Huang et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the mechanisms controlling vehicle emission dispersion in urban street canyons and the strategies for managing roadside air pollution. Key factors influencing air pollution in street canyons include traffic conditions, canyon geometry, weather conditions, and chemical reactions. Mitigation strategies include traffic interventions and city planning, with the latter having a more significant impact on pollutant dispersion.
