Long-range Atmospheric Transport of Persistent Organic Pollutants, I: Description of surface-atmosphere exchange modules and implementation in EUROS
Concerns a description of a model for the exchange of gaseous Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) at land and sea surfaces and its application in the Eulerian air pollution transport model EUROS.
The Urban Air Quality Assessment Model (UAQAM) calculates the city concentration caused by city emissions themselves, the so-called city background concentration. Three versions of the model for…
Evaluation of the Netherlands Groundwater Model, LGM, for calculating pathlines, travel times and concentration at abstraction wells
The merits of the quasi-three-dimensional RIVM groundwater model, LGM (version 2) were evaluated for the calculation of pathlines, travel times and solute breakthrough curves at abstraction wells. The…
Scenarios for economy and environment in Central and Eastern Europe
In 1993 an integrated assessment of the economic scenarios of Central and Eastern European countries, as developed by the World Bank, was carried out, primarily for emissions, deposition and…
Documentation of the five submodels of Targets/IMage Energy (TIME) 1.0 model are presented. Energy Demand, Liquid Fuel (LF), Gaseous Fuel (GF), Solid Fuel (SF) and Electric Power Generation (EPG) are…
Background and purpose: This report on fertility change in India presents the results of a project on integrated population modelling initiated by the National Institute of Public Health and…
Environmental quality of primary and secundary construction materials in relation to re-use and protection of soil and surface water
To support the General Administrative Order on Construction Materials (Soil and Surface Waters Protection) this document supplies information on: the quantification of the standard values for the…
Managing Malaria ; an evolutionary modelling approach
As the resistance of the malaria parasite to antimalarial drugs continues to increase, like the malarial mosquito to insecticides, the efficacy of efforts to control malaria in many tropical countries…
Deposition of base-cations in Europe and its role in acid neutralization and forest nutrition
In considering acidification problems, emphasis is seldom placed on the role of deposition of base-cations such as Na + , Mg 2 + , Ca 2 + and K + . Besides their ability to neutralize acid input, base…
A programming study is performed to determine the availability of climate change scenarios for impact studies. It is based on a study of literature and on consultations of scientists involved in the…
