Literature review on road runoff pollution on Europe PROPER PROJECT - WP1.PREDICTION OF POLLUTANT LOADS AND CONCENTRATIONS IN ROAD RUNOFF T 1.5. State of the art of models used for emission calculations and air quality assessment Abstract This reports represents project deliverable 1.5 and concerns the results from task 1.5 of the Proper Project – State of the art of models used for emission calculations and air quality assessment. A large variety in regional and national scale models for emissions and air quality calculations is available. The emission and air quality models described in this deliverable are more advanced than most runoff models. Runoff models are often regression models, which are developed for a specific region, while air quality models are based on physical atmospheric processes. Emission models can be applied for calculating the pollutant load in surface waters. For this goal, the emission model should mainly focus on tyre, brake and road wear, because these particles relatively large and will be deposited on or near the road A potential large part (>50%) of the pollutants could be transported to the road side environment via drift and spray at specific conditions.
