Esta proposta constitui mais uma etapa para a construção de um Programa de Qualificação da Avenida Dr. Lourenço Peixinho, dos consequentes projetos e das consequentes ações. O processo iniciou-se com uma fase de discussão pública, de que resultou a publicação “O futuro da Avenida Dr. Lourenço Peixinho”. Este relatório corresponde à entrega de uma encomenda, centrada sobretudo no Espaço Público, mas incluindo ta...
Emissions from land transport, and from road transport in particular, have significant impacts on the atmosphere and on climate change. This assessment gives an overview of past, present and future emissions from land transport, of their impacts on the atmospheric composition and air quality, on human health and climate change and on options for mitigation. In the past vehicle exhaust emission control has succe...
As part of a monitoring program conducted by IDAD – Institute for Environment and Development and supported by regional municipal solid waste (MSW) management authorities, dioxin concentrations in ambient air were measured in three regions of Portugal: Porto, Lisbon and Madeira. These independent studies were performed with the intention of providing data as a basis for the evaluation of potential impacts of th...
Currently, there is a growing awareness that smoke produced during forest fires can expose individuals and populations to hazardous concentrations of air pollutants. Aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the air pollution phenomenon associated with forest fires, this paper presents and analyses the atmospheric emissions and air quality concentration measurements performed in the 2002 fire experiment...
The main objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of urban development trends in mobility patterns of a medium sized Portuguese city and air quality consequences, using a sequential modeling process, comprising i) land use and transportation, TRANUS model; ii) road traffic air pollutants emissions, TREM model and; iii) air quality, TAPM model. This integrated methodology was applied to a medium sized P...
Supported by Science and Technology Foundation, the STRATOZON project is a 2 years national project and is being developed by Fernando Pessoa and Aveiro Universities, in collaboration with the Meteorological Institute and the Environmental Institute. The main scope of STRATOZON project is to justify non-photochemical ozone episodes, and such, episodes that cannot be controlled by local/regional management of it...
