Atmospheric dispersion processes behave differently on flat terrain compared to complex terrain. Orography plays a crucial role in atmospheric dynamics in mountainous areas by influencing air mass movement, which affects pollutant dispersion within or beyond the valley. This research project focuses on analyzing atmospheric dynamics, pollutant dispersion processes, and the impact of vehicle emissions on air quality in the Adige Valley. The objectives include studying meteorological conditions that influence pollutant dispersion, quantifying spatial and temporal variations in pollutant concentrations, and developing and validating modeling tools in the context of planning and implementing vehicle emission reduction policies. The expected outcomes include a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing pollutant dispersion in mountainous areas, the identification of pollution hotspots, the evaluation of policies, and recommendations for improving air quality. Verification and evaluation methods will ensure the reliability of the results. By combining data analysis, atmospheric modeling, and policy evaluation, this study aims to provide valuable insights for the effective implementation of vehicle emission reduction policies in complex terrain.
