POEM-PM: A MODEL FOR GAS AND PARTICULATE EMISSIONS

Northern Italy, characterised by a complex terrain, high urban and industrial emissions and a close road net, is often affected by severe photochemical and particulate pollution episodes. Photochemical pollution is a mixture of pollutant, as ozone, NO2, PAN and formaldehyde, produced by a complex chemical reaction system induced by NOx and VOC coming from road traffic and industrial combustion plants. Atmospheric particulate can be originated by direct emission in the atmosphere (primary) or by reaction of gas species producing low volatility compounds (secondary). Photochemical and aerosol models can be employed for the evaluation of possible pollution control strategies; they need suitable tools to evaluate the actual emission fields for both the gas and the aerosol phase, and to provide possible alternative emission scenarios. In this work POEM-PM, a model for the evaluation of gas and particulate matter emissions from road traffic, is presented. Moreover the model has been integrated with the FCM module, allowing the estimation of emission fields for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), lumped through different chemical schemes (SAPRC, CBIV).
