Abstract
Urban air pollution became one of the main factors of degradation of the quality of life in cities. This problem tends to worsen due to the unbalanced development of urban spaces and the incompatibilities of
uses. In urban environment the typical anthropogenic sources are mainly the road traffic and, when existing,
the industrial activity. The present work was performed to attain the following objectives: to quantify the
atmospheric emissions from the major industrial sources located in the city and its vicinity and to evaluate the
influence of these industrial sources to the air quality of the city. A range of numerical models were used to
produce the concentration maps: the ADMS-Urban model for the pollutants dispersion; the Hills model to
calculate air flow and turbulence over complex terrain and the European Pollutant Emission Register to
estimate the emission factors.(undefined
