Air pollution is an escalating issue in cities worldwide, with direct impacts on public health.
While many numerical tools exist to address this problem, there is a growing need for practical, scalable, and accessible modeling training resources, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This publication is specifically designed to support those training needs and empower city managers, regulators, practitioners, academics, and citizen groups.
Whether you are a beginner or seeking to refresh your knowledge, this resource provides a fundamental understanding of the key themes associated with air pollution modeling.
All the training material including primers, presentations, plug and play tools, benchmarking notes, instructional videos and more is available @ https://urbanemissions.info/tools.
Our working papers describe case studies where we applied the SIM-air family of tools, document general notes on emissions and pollution modeling and present our reviews on various topics related to air pollution analysis.
