Models all source groups within the urban area – typically hour by hour calculation Explicitly models major road sources, major industrial sources. Includes street canyon model Other sources modelled as grid sources (e.g.1km* 1km Regional pollution from rural monitoring sites or from larger area model (e.g. WRF/CMAQ or Pre’vair/Chimere) Model ADMS-Urban Model Methodology

Source contributions to exceedences of the 50µg/m³ objective value, ordered by background contribution and major road contribution
Major road and background contribution compared to total concentration Comparison of major road and rural background concentrations
Non-Exhaust Emissions of PM DEFRA Project –TRL, University of Birmingham, CERC Review of methodologies for tyre wear, brake wear and road wear Focus resuspension
Non-exhaust study- Resuspension Estimated from measurements at Marylebone Road & Bloomsbury. E TOTAL, NON-EX = E TYRE + E BRAKE + E ROAD + E RESUSP E TYRE, EB RAKE & E ROAD determined using several methods –Existing EMEP method –RAINS database –CEPMEIP database PM 2.5 = exhaust (94%), PM = non-exhaust + exhaust (6%) E RESUSP dominated by HDV 116mg/km,(LDV 0.02mg/km)
Non-exhaust study - dispersion modelling sites 4 TRAMAQ sites ( Birmingham Selly Oak, Park Lane, Elephant and Castle, High Holborn) –PM 10 and PM 2.5 –Kerbside and background –Chemical component data available 9 London DEFRA sites –2 with PM 10 and PM 2.5 –7 with PM 10 only
