Air Quality in future CLImate (AQCLI)
AQLI The climate change may strongly affect air quality standards in the Po river Valley in the North of Italy. The evaluation of the impact of climate on air quality is still under investigation and AQCLI service aims at addressing this specific issue. The AQCLI service will provide an assessment of how climate change will affect the air quality, especially for PM10 and O3. The assessment will be representative of urban background concentration. It will represent both present conditions and a future scenario.
Engage end-users
