The EUMAC zooming model, a tool supporting environmental policy decisions in the local-to-regional scale

Air pollution model systems may be used for the optimization of air pollution abatement strategies and for short-term predictions of smog episodes in highly polluted areas. One of the contemporary air pollution model systems is the EUMAC Zooming Model (EZM) which is best suited for air quality studies at the local-to-regional scale. As examples for such studies, results are presented from the application of the EZM to the Basel area, to the Attica peninsula, to the Upper Rhine valley and to the Heilbronn area during the 'Ozone Experiment'.
