Urban areas are major sources of air pollution. Pollutant emissions
affecting air quality in cities are considered to have adverse
consequences for human health. Public and government concern about
environmental issues arising from urban air pollution has increased
over the last decades. The urban air pollution problem is
widespread throughout the world and it is important to find ways of
eliminating or at least reducing the risks for human health. The
fundamentals of the physical and chemical processes occurring
during air pollutant transport in the atmosphere are nowadays
understood to a large extent. In particular, modelling of such
processes has experienced a remarkable growth in the last decades.
Monitoring capabilities have also improved markedly in the most
urban areas around the world. However, neither modelling nor
monitoring can solve urban air pollution problems, as they are only
a first step in improving useful information for future
regulations. The defining of efficient control strategies can not
be achieved without a clear knowledge of the complete pollution
process, i.e. emission, atmospheric transport and transformation,
and deposition at the receptor. Improving our ability to establish
valid urban scale source-receptor relation ships has been the
objective of SA TURN, one of the 14 subprojects of EURO TRAC-2.
Similar to the other subprojects of this co-ordinated environmental
pro ject within the EUREKA initiative, SA TURN brought together
international groups of scientists to work on problems directly
related to atmospheric chemistry and physics. The present volume
summarises the scientific results of SATURN."
