Overview

Development of a system to assess emissions and air quality in Madrid, suggesting targeted health strategies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a reliable system for analyzing air pollution and evaluating emissions in Madrid.
  • Developed a reduced form model (RFM) using CMAQ-DDM-3D for emissions analysis.
  • Utilized massive anonymized mobile network data for population dynamics and traffic emission estimation.
  • Conducted source apportionment analysis for key pollutants, focusing on NO2 and PM2.5.
  • Assessed the impact of socioeconomic factors on exposure levels.
  • RFM closely replicated the CMAQ model for moderate emission reductions with high correlation.
  • Identified road traffic as a significant local source of NO2 and PM2.5.
  • Exposure levels for lower socioeconomic groups shown to be 8% higher for NO2.
  • RFM met the modelling quality indicator for key pollutants but showed reduced performance for 2023 and 2024.
