This paper shows how to predict future nitrogen dioxide concentrations and assess uncertainties inside and outside a large city. The error-in-variable kriging with external drift (KED) method, which combines past measurements, dispersion model output for the past and future,...
AIRNET was a thematic network project (2002-2004) initiated to stimulate the interaction between researchers in air pollution and health in Europe. As part of AIRNET's communication strategy, a standardized workshop model was developed to organize national meetings on air...

Despite the wide array of academic research, the impacts of compact urban development are not very well understood. What is lacking are, firstly, the insights into how a region or country would have appeared under policy regimes other than those realised and, secondly, a...
Main conclusions: The potential for successful translocations of ticks and their pathogens from Africa to the rest of the world is likely to increase over the next 100 years. Although the general trend is one of range expansion, there are winners and losers among tick species...
Transport option values can be interpreted in terms of a risk premium that individuals with uncertain demand are willing to pay over and above their expected user benefit for the continued availability of a transport facility. These values represent a benefit category not...
The understanding of particulate matter (PM) levels over Europe as a whole is at present limited by the diversity of ground level measurements methods. This study explores the relation between satellite observations of PM to the concentrations at ground level. As such it aims...
Dit artikel beschrijft de effecten van ontsnipperingsmaatregelen op provinciale en gemeentelijke wegen in natuurgebieden en analyseert zowel gevolgen voor de fauna (kwaliteit leefgebied, geluidsniveaus in natuurgebieden) en de mens (mobiliteit van passagiers, bereikbaarheid,...
A method that combines uncertain air quality measurements with uncertain secondary information
from an atmospheric dispersion model, is presented. The method combines external drift kriging and a measurement error (ME) model, and uses Bayesian techniques for inference. An...
Local NO2 concentrations near Rotterdam (Netherlands) were assessed for the year 2010, focusing on the uncertainties and the changes in exceedance of European air quality standards.
