Correspondingly, transboundary, regional or local assessments of critical loads are of concern for optimizing abatement strategy for emission of polutants and then-transport (Figure 1). 

Risk characterization estimates the frequency and severity of adverse events and presents the results in a form useful to management, for example, in the form of various scenarios for emission abatement strategy on local or regional scale.

A broader regulatory application of air quality modeling is the examination of regional plans for abatement of air pollution. Ideally, each plan should be tested by a reliable model that will tell what the pollutant concentrations will be in the future if emission is reduced as specified by the plan. Therefore, alternative approaches must be evaluated both with respect to their effectiveness in cleaning the air and with respect to their social costs, and cost models and possibly even damage models must be used concurrently with the air quality model. Only in this way can a least-cost abatement strategy be implemented. 

Some of the results from PAUR I are of relevance to ozone abatement strategies. Presently, it appears that the continued total ozone decline will enhance, in cases significantly, ozone pollution episodes. However, for these results to have validity and applicability to abatement policies, more modeling should be performed that would study the combined effects of all of the following ... 

Important for air pollution policy in Europe is the contribution to PM 10 that is of anthropogenic origin. It is this fraction that can be targeted by national and European abatement strategies. Below, a first-order rather pragmatic assessment...

This review will focus on theoretical calculations to advance understanding of gas phase oxidafion of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) by halogen species. Computational and experimental studies to help parameterize models have been performed to make a more reliable description of the dynamics of mercury in the atmosphere so that the consequences of abatement strategies can be assessed. Quantum chemical calculations are the only way to viably investigate the mechanisms and advance what is observed in field and laboratory studies. 

The on-line coupled model MCCM (which is based on well known and validated model MM5) has demonstrated its applicability to support and to address air quality issues, like emission reduction scenarios, abatement strategies, or the impact of climate change to the air quality in sensitive and urbanized areas both on the regional and local scales. Furthermore, this model is able to couple or to link also other models from different compartments like hydrology or biosphere. 

A crucial step in the design of rational sulphur abatement strategies is an ability to attribute sulphur deposition at a particular sensitive receptor site to its emission sources. Currently this is only possible with some form of theoretical model approach which addresses the known processes of emission, transport, transformation and deposition.
