Particulate matter and health risk under a changing climate: assessment for Por...
Dias D.,; Tchepel O.,; Carvalho A.,; Miranda A.I.,; Borrego C.In this work the potential impacts of climate-induced changes in air pollution levels and its impacts on population health was investigated. The IPCC scenario (SRES A2) was used to analyse the effects of climate on future PM10 concentrations over Portugal and their impact on short-term population exposure and mortality. The air quality modelling system has been applied with high spatial resolution looking on cl...
Contribution of residential wood combustion to PM10 levels in Portugal
Borrego, C.; Valente, J.; Carvalho, A.; Sá, E.; Lopes, M.; Miranda, A. I.Wood is commonly used in residential combustion for heating purposes; however, it can be a major source of air pollutants, namely fine particles, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide. Since 2004, the PM10 daily limit value has been surpassed in Portugal, and the European Commission has stated that plans and programs must be designed in order to reduce these levels. In Portugal, 18% of PM10 emissions a...
Air quality assessment for Portugal
Monteiro, A.; Miranda, A. I.; Borrego, C.; Vautard, R.According to the Air Quality Framework Directive, air pollutant concentration levels have to be assessed and reported annually by each European Union member state, taking into consideration European air quality standards. Plans and programmes should be implemented in zones and agglomerations where pollutant concentrations exceed the limit and target values. The main objective of this study is to perform a long-...
Tide and wind control of megalopal supply to estuarine crab populations on the ...
Queiroga, H.; Almeida, M. J.; Alpuim, T.; Flores, A. A. V.; Francisco, S.; Gonzalez-Gordillo, I.; Miranda, A. I.; Silva, I.; Paula, J.Physical processes that force transport of planktonic larvae of invertebrates are responsible for some of the spatial and temporal variability in recruitment. We investigated the influence of tide- and wind-driven circulation on intra-year variability of megalopal supply to populations of the crab Carcinus maenas in 2 estuaries on the Portuguese west coast. Daily data on physical variables and on supply and set...
