Modelling of passive control systems (PCS) including nature-based solutions in dispersion studies.

 

Mathematical problems in air quality modelling.

 

Highlights of past work. Session devoted to reviews and to prominent scientists and ‘golden papers’ of the past, which have still relevance and should not be forgotten.

 

Special session:Reducing uncertainties in emergency modelling and decision-making, including the CONFIDENCE project.
