3 Air Quality Modelling Introduction Rationale Objectives Air pollution has become a common phenomenon in the urban centers of the country. In recent times, a lot of emphasis has been put to improve the air quality in the urban setup. Air quality modelling is a tool for predicting the air quality at the places where it is not being monitored and also across the time horizons. It has been used extensively in devising appropriate strategies for air quality management. Moreover, air quality models have also been used in environmental impact assessment studies to predict the impact of proposed project over the air quality of the region. At present there is a gap in knowledge and skills to carry out air quality modelling studies. The proposed training programme aims to bridge the gap and build the capacity of State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), NGOs, Industries or any other stakeholders in the field of air quality modelling. The programme will highlight the concepts of air quality modelling, demonstrate the use of air quality models and provide ready to use course material on the subject. a. To introduce the latest trends of air quality modelling b. To learn the data requirements, input data preparation, and methodologies for carrying our air quality modelling c. To provide demonstration on the use of air quality models Methodology COURSE MODULES The programme will consist of a two day workshop. During the training programme the course modules will be provided by the organizer. The course content and tentative agenda are mentioned below: Module No Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Theme of the module Basics of air quality modelling Input data requirements Emission Inventorisation Air quality modelling Dispersion Air quality modelling Receptor
