Abstract
The strategies for industrial emissions control depend on, amongst other variables, the best available techniques, their economical feasibility, and their positive impact over air quality; i.e., advances in power generation technology are making older coal and fuel oil power plants to be replaced by natural gas combined cycles. In ITM 2007, the estimation of the impact of the application of best available techniques (BATs) in industrial emissions control in Galicia (NW Spain) was presented [Rodríguez R et al (2008) Modelling the impact of best available techniques for industrial emissions control in air quality: setting up inventories and establishing projections. In: Air pollution modeling and its application XIX. Springer, Dordrecht, pp 677–678]. In this work, the effect of these changes over the tropospheric ozone levels in this region is simulated using the CAMx model, for three different ozone episodes previously characterised.
