Integrated monitoring and assessment for air quality management in Hanoi, Vietnam
Ngo, Tho Hung Jensen, Steen Solvang In relation to air quality management (AQM), Integrated Monitoring and Assessment (IMA) is defined as a combined usage of measurements and model calculations. Integrated air quality monitoring is monitoring based on results from air quality measurements from fixed monitoring stations, and results obtained from calculations with air quality models. IMA combines data from both modeling and measurements to improveassessment of air quality. A PhD research has been conducted during 2007-2010 with the aim toevaluate air quality models developed in Denmark in the context of AQM in Vietnam with Hanoias case study area. The Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM) model was adapted to the traffic and vehicle emission conditions in Hanoi, and model results were compared to measurement campaigns at three streets where limited measurement data were available. The OSPM model wasalso used for inverse modeling to estimate average vehicle emission factor...
