Screening of air quality problems in Flanders due to road traffic (for NOx and PM10)

In 2003- 2004 we analysed the problem of air pollution (NOx and PM10) due to road traffic in Flanders. We performed this work together with the Dutch institute TNO-MEP. We analysed the traffic pattern, and the traffic emissions for 2010. With this, we determined the air quality in urban areas and along motorways according the European directive 1999/30/EG. For this we used among others the "TNO-Verspreidingsmodel". We also proposed measures for those locations where air quality problems are expected.
