Modello di dati GIS per studi di qualità dell’aria basati su simulazioni modellistiche della dispersione di inquinanti

A geographic data model has been set up, to support display and analysis of air dispersion simulations. The goal was to create a global environment where to manage input data to the model and model results, to perform spatial analyses and to evaluate the risk coming from the modelled pollution field, for people (exposure) and environment. The GIS model was also set up to include epidemiological data to be correlated with exposure estimates. The geographical database has been tested by populating it with data for a case study located on the industrial area of Terni, where air dispersion simulations were performed. The data model will be the basis for the GIS aimed to manage information coming from the LIFE+2009 Project "Population Exposure to PAH" (EXPAH), recently approved.
