Abstract
A project for the implementation of an air pollution interregional model to Portugal is being develloped (Coutinho et al., 1989). An integrated study with the application of two dispersion models is being undertaken. In the first stage of the project, a puff-gaussian dispersion model has been applied. The final aim of this project is the adaptation of an Eulerian dispersion model to Portugal.
