Abstract:

In the paper, exposure and emission-to-exposure relationships for several air pollutants and for four different emissions source categories in Warsaw (Poland), were estimated. The emission-to-exposure relationship was illustrated by using the intake fraction (iF) concept. The exposure and iFs were predicted for primary particulate matter (PPM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), Benso [a] Pyren (BaP), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb). The dispersion of pollutants was forecasted with CALPUFF dispersion model and by using the year 2005 meteorological data. The emission uncertainties were propagated through the dispersion model with the Monte Carlo techniques. The exposure and iFs were calculated by combining the population data with the predicted annual average air pollution concentrations.
