This growing set of developments and activities required to be framed and
organized to allow better understanding of the different approaches in use, to be
able to compare their characteristics, and ultimately to suggest how to diffuse best
practices and in which direction to move additional research and new software
implementations. The ultimate scope of such effort that is briefly summarized in the
following chapters is to provide decision-makers in charge of air pollution management with a view of the current European situation and a way of improving their
current policies.
