Good general performances of the models and a clear improvement of PM2:5 and aerosol optical depth (AOD) are shown when fires are taken into account in the models with high correlation coefficients. Two sources of uncertainties are specifically analysed in terms of surface PM2:5 concentrations and AOD using sensitivity simulations: secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from intermediate and semi-volatile organic compounds (I/S-VOCs) and emissions’ injection heights.

  • Air Quality and Meteorological Patterns of an Early Spring Heatwave Event in an Industrialized Area of Attica, Greece
    Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (2021) 6:25 https://doi.org/10.1007/s41207-020-00237-0 TOPICAL COLLECTION Air quality and meteorological patterns of an early spring heatwave event in an industrialized area of Attica, Greece Anastasios Mavrakis1 · Athanasia Kapsali2 · Ioannis X. Tsiros3 · Katerina Pantavou3 Received: 20 September 2020 / Accepted: 18 December 2020 / Published online: 25 January 2021 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 Abstract Heatwaves—excessively hot ambient conditions that are considered a serious threat to human health—are often associated with poor air quality. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of an early heatwave episode in an industrialized plain in the eastern Mediterranean region (Thriasio, Greece) on human thermal discomfort and urban air quality. The heatwave occurred in mid (15–20) May 2020, shortly after some of the restrictions that were improsed to halt the spread of corona- virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Greece were lifted (on 4 May). The discomfort index (DI) and the daily air quality index (DAQI) were calculated on an hourly basis throughout spring 2020 (March, April, May) using data from two stations that measure meteorological parameters and air pollutant concentrations in the Thriasio Plain. The analysis showed that the air temperature increased during 7–17 May to levels that were more than 10 °C above the monthly average value (25.8 °C). The maximum measured air temperature was 38 °C (on 17 May). The results showed a high level of thermal discomfort. The DI exceeded the threshold of 24 °C for several hours during 13–20 May.
