Abstract: The preliminary results of a simulation of the air quality in a region of Northern Italy are presented. The simulation was performed using a modelling system based on a meteorological model, an interface code and a transport-chemistry model. Comparisons with measured data are presented and discussed.

Keywords: PM pollution; air quality; transport-chemistry modelling; dispersion modelling; particulate matter; simulation; air pollution.
