Abstract:
In most of the European cities air pollution has changed in
recent years; previously the most serious problem was sulphur
dioxide and soot from minor domestic heating plants; this has
largely been solved by introduction of cleaner fuels and change
in infrastructure. Now the increasing traffic emissions, notably
of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, with the
ensuing photochemical air pollution, attract most attention.
Denmark has, for a series of geographical and meteorological
reasons, relatively clean air. In urban areas, however, where the
emission density is high and the dispersion of pollution is
limited, impacts on human health and well-being must be
considered. In the planning of a rational abatement strategy,
including emission and air quality standards, it is not
sufficient to determine pollution levels, it is also important to
investigate to what extent people are actually exposed to them.
Further, it is necessary to establish the relative contributions
from various human activities.
