Abstract
Emission from road traffic constitutes one of the most important sources of air pollution in urban areas. This paper
describes a newly developed air pollution dispersion model for open roads and highways called WORM (Weak Wind Open Road
Model), and give some results using this model during low wind speed and (strongly) stable atmospheric conditions at Nordbysletta
in Norway, during a 3-4 months period in the winter/spring of 2002.
Keywords
