Abstract

The comprehensive Gas Aerosol Modelling Evaluation System (GAMES) was used to investigate the impact of EU Directives on road traffic emissions scheduled for 2010 on photochemical pollution. The area under study is located in Northern Italy where orographic features and the emissive mix represent a critical issue in ozone production and accumulation processes. The long-term period April-September 1996 was selected as the reference case, and an impact assessment simulation for the year 2010 was performed, including the future emission fields based on the current legislation. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the EU road traffic abatement policy in Northern Italy, graphical indicators were computed and analysed.
