Air quality assessment based on road traffic pollutants dispersion modelling: Giurgiu – Ruse Bridge Case study

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents a case study related to air quality assessment along an important high traffic bridge (Giurgiu - Ruse), by dispersion modelling of the main pollutants. In order to estimate the level of pollution caused by bridge road traffic in the closest urban areas, Giurgiu and Ruse and based on the traffic data, four scenarios for the air quality assessment have been carried out according to different meteorological conditions. The dispersion modeling was realized on specialized environmental pollution software, which features a fully operational Gauss model in its base module. There are presented dispersion maps for the main road traffic pollutants (NOx, CO, SO2, THC), aiming to evaluate their impact on the urban areas vicinity, in four different wind directions scenarios, at a constant temperature. Conclusions are presented according to available European Legislation and future scenarios are proposed, for other different meteorological conditions.
