Abstract:
Air quality assessment in a highly polluted considered area with specific and complex terrain features situated in the north-western part of Romania was made using The Air Pollution Model (TAPM), a 3D prognostic model that solves the fundamental fluid dynamics and scalar transport equations to predict both meteorology and air pollution concentrations. In order to properly assess the air pollutants concentrations in the studied area, there were taken into account not only the emissions from the activities on the premises of the main industrial platform, but also the contribution from the other pollution sources from the area of interest, such as other industries, residential heating, traffic, dump heaps. The mathematical modeling results, displayed as pollutant air dispersion maps, showed the significant influence of the complex terrain features and of the other pollution sources on the concentration levels in the region, usually associated with the emissions of the main industrial platform.
