Concawe NOx/NO2 Source Apportionment Tool Disclaimer

Purpose of the tool:

The Concawe NOx/NO2 Source Apportionment tool has been developed by VITO using the QUARK (Quick Urban Air Quality using Kernels) methodology to simulate NO2 concentrations at a high grid resolution of approximately 100 x 100 m.

The tool has a special focus to road transport and is applied to the whole of Europe providing explicit information regarding the contribution of the different vehicle categories (passenger cars, light duty vehicles, heavy duty vehicles, etc.), the different EURO norms (pre-Euro 4, Euro 4, Euro 5, Euro 6), as well as the different types of fuel used (diesel, petrol, CNG, LPG) to NOx emissions and the resulting NO2 concentrations.
