23rd International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution1 - 3 June, 2015
València, Spain
Organised by:
Wessex Institute, UK
University of the West of England, UK
Overview
Air Pollution 2015 is the 23rd Annual Meeting in the successful
series of international conferences organised by the Wessex Institute
dealing with Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution.
The series started in Mexico (1993) and continued in Barcelona
(1994); Halkidiki (1995); Toulouse (1996); Bologna (1997); Genova
(1998); San Francisco (1999); Cambridge, UK (2000); Ancona (2001);
Segovia (2002); Catania (2003); Rhodes (2004); Cordoba (2005); New
Forest (2006); Algarve (2007); Skiathos (2008); Tallinn (2009); Kos
(2010) Malta (2011), A Coruna (2012), Siena (2013) and Split (2014).
These meetings have attracted outstanding contributions from leading
researchers from around the world. The papers selected for presentation
and included in the Conference Proceedings have been permanently stored
in the WIT eLibrary as Transactions of the Wessex Institute (see http://library.witpress.com). These collected papers provide an invaluable record of the development of science and policy pertaining to air pollution.
The conferences in this series have discussed and considered many
important air pollution issues and the international nature of the
attendees has ensured that the conference findings and conclusions enjoy
a wide and rapid dissemination amongst the air pollution science and
policy communities. Air pollution issues remain one of the most
challenging problems facing the international community. The series has
demonstrated the wide spread nature of the air pollution phenomena and
has explored in depth the impacts of air pollution on human health and
the environment.
The series also recognised, at a very early stage, that science alone
will not improve a polluted atmosphere. The scientific knowledge
derived from well designed studies needs to be allied with further
technical and economic studies in order to ensure cost effective and
efficient mitigation. In turn, the science, technology and economic
outcomes are necessary but not sufficient. Increasingly, the conference
has recognised that the outcome of such research needs to be
contextualised within well formulated communication strategies that help
policy makers and citizens to understand and appreciate the risks and
rewards arising from air pollution management. Consequently, the series
has enjoyed a wide range of high quality papers that develop the
fundamental science of air pollution and an equally impressive range of
presentations that places these new developments within the frame of
mitigation and management of air pollution.
This important conference brings together contributions from
scientists from around the world to present recent work on various
aspects of air pollution phenomena. Notable in each of the conferences
in this series has been the opportunity to foster scientific exchange
between participants. New collaborations amongst scientists, and between
scientists and policy makers or regulators have arisen through contacts
made in this series. Each meeting has provided a further opportunity
for identifying new areas of air pollution science demanding
collaborative investigation.
The conference papers deal with a rich variety of topics. The
presentation of case studies of specific regions and cities, including
those in emerging countries are particularly encouraged.
