Abstract

The Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) affects the pollutant dispersion process. Within the EpiAir Project (Air pollution and health: epidemiological surveillance and prevention) we performed a preliminary analysis to identify adverse (or opportune) situation for pollutant dispersion. Knowledge of the meteo-diffusive peculiarity of a city is an efficient support in identifying and planning preventive actions.
