Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth's land area and exchange mass, momentum, and
energy with the atmosphere. Most studies of these exchanges, particularly using numerical …

The capacity to predict NO 2 and the total oxidant (O x= NO 2+ O 3) within street canyons is
critical for the assessment of air quality regulations aimed at enhancing human wellbeing in …

The impact of urban morphology on air quality, particularly within deep canyons with longer
residence times for complex chemical processes, remains insufficiently addressed. A flexible …

In the atmospheric boundary layer that is affected by turbulent motions and inhomogeneous
surface chemical emissions, short-lived reactive species may not be completely mixed within …

The extent to which nitrogen dioxide (NO2) undergoes complex chemical-transport
processes near strong nitrogen-oxide sources in street canyons is not fully understood. A …

Populations in urban areas are exposed to high local concentrations of pollutants, such as
nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, because of unfavorable dispersion conditions and …

Multi-box models describing the evolution of cooking-generated aerosols emitted inside an
urban street canyon are developed. By contrast with previous box models of urban …

In urban areas and in particular in the streets, populations are exposed to high
concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter including organic aerosols …

The impact of air pollution (AP) on cognitive function is widely understudied. Currently, most
evidence focuses on correlating chronic AP exposure to performance on off-the-shelf …

Most of the terrestrial living world, humanity included, spends nearly all of its time in the
atmospheric boundary layer (the ABL). This thesis addresses some of the limitations in our …
