Abstract
Population exposure to atmospheric pollution is commonly assessed through models. This study aims to compare estimates based on a high-resolution model and actual measurements. The considered modelling system, ATMO-Street, consists of a three-layer outdoor model operating at an hourly rate with a spatial resolution of approximately 10 m. The considered measurements were made by 38 candidate citizens carrying, for 1 week, portable devices, including an AE51 aethalometer and an Antilope low-cost sensor system developed at the Scientific Institute of Public Service (ISSeP). Their data were aggregated to match the model time and space resolutions. The zone of interest is the city of Liège in Belgium during parts of the year 2019. This research sheds light on the effectiveness of the atmospheric pollution model and personal exposure assessment methods. The findings contribute to a somewhat more comprehensive understanding of our exposure to air pollution, including indoors, with potential implications for public health and environmental policy.
期刊介绍:
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.
It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.
International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.
Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.
This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
