TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of past, present and future emissions from land transport, of their impacts on the atmospheric composition and air quality, on human health and climate change and on options for mitigation.

TL;DR: The 1st EuNetAir Air Quality Joint Intercomparison Exercise organized in Aveiro (Portugal) from 13th-27th October 2014, focused on the evaluation and assessment of environmental gas, particulate matter (PM) and meteorological microsensors, versus standard air quality reference methods through an experimental urban air quality monitoring campaign.

TL;DR: The results show that urban air quality can be optimised based on knowledge-based planning of green spaces, with an important decrease of the maximum deviation between site measurements and CFD results.

TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that more compact cities with mixed land use provide better urban air quality compared to disperse and network cities.

TL;DR: An integrated approach combining the effects of several emission abatement measures on air quality, impacts on human health, and associated implementation costs enables an effective cost–benefit analysis and an added value to the decision-making process.
