Summary
Air Quality in urban areas and other hot spots, where transport emissions induce a large impact on human exposure remains an environmental problem of high complexity with strong public interest.
Despite the significant improvements achieved, adverse health effects are found to be of high concern. There is strong evidence that, despite strict emission standards, “real world” emissions is accepted as term indicating a status of partial success of these measures and technological advances in fossil fuel emission control, while new sources such as non-exhaust emissions and micro plastics are becoming significant. A large level of uncertainty arising from the assessment and mitigation of these sources and especially the internal combustion engines arises from their physicochemical transformation from the tailpipe/stack to the ambient environment. The metrics and parameterization employed on the data analyzed from the environmental monitoring networks and measurement systems are poorly representing the material initially emitted by the specifications of these engines certified by the manufacturers and the control legislation.
It is therefore difficult to link the health and other environmental effects to specific sources or modes of transport with few exceptions.
Human exposure, dosimetry and burden of disease modelling will be assessed. The output will be linked to epidemiological studies across Europe and a specific epidemiological product of the extracted impact due to transport will be sought.
THE PROJECT will provide innovative means in terms of monitoring devices and schemes of data analysis and management and a network of monitoring stations close to Transport emission hots, in order to remedy the traceability of the emitted pollutants from transport sources to the atmosphere and the assessment of applied legislation and control measures through a mitigating solution Toolbox
