Abstract
Abstract Regional authorities need suitable tools to develop air quality plans, in particular when dealing with secondary pollutants, such as ozone, characterized by complex and non–linear dynamics. This work presents a two objective problem considering both effectiveness and costs of alternative environmental policies. To solve the multi-objective problem, an integrated modeling system has been designed and implemented. It includes (1) pollutant-precursor models identified by processing the simulations of the GAMES modeling system, and (2) cost functions computing emission reduction costs. The methodology has been applied to a complex domain in Northern Italy, including Milan metropolitan area, a region characterized by high ozone levels in the summer season.
