Study of Microscale Urban Air Dispersion by ADMS - Urban

Research output: Contribution to conference › Conference Paper › peer-review

Abstract

In the urban areas of Hong Kong, air pollution is mainly caused by motor vehicles, particularly diesel vehicles such as trucks, buses and light buses which emit a large amount of respirable suspended particulates and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants are then often trapped in between very tall buildings along the streets. The objective of this study is to understand how these pollutants being dispersed under different atmospheric conditions. This study provides some examples and preliminary results of model simulations due to road traffic with its street canyon features in air quality studies in the urban areas of Hong Kong - Tsim Sha Tsui.
