​​​5th Annual
Workshop on Atmospheric Pollution and its Impacts on Human Health, Agriculture and Natural Ecosystems

  November 26, 2021


Objective

To bring together local, regional and international experts on subjects related to air quality and its impact on human and ecosystem health, in order to establish a knowledge network, gather the available tools to tackle the difficult problem of modelling atmospheric chemistry and transport of pollutants in rough topographies, and to identify knowledge gaps so as to contribute to a deeper understanding of the local and regional scale of the impact of air pollution, motivate research collaborations, and inform public policy.
