Abstract
An integrated methodology evaluating the impact of the urban air pollution on human health is presented. From traffic emission data, background pollution level and meteorological data the pollutant concentration distribution within the street network is calculated by the urban scale dispersion model SIRANE and the potential health impact on population is evaluated by the traditional toxicological approach.
Supported by Regione Piemonte via the project AirToLyMi (CIPE Grant 2006)
