Supporting air quality modelling development and policy in Flanders

VITO’s air quality modelling experts have been supporting the Flemish governmental administrations responsible for air quality monitoring, assessment and reporting since 2009. 

Our air quality modelling support and services are provided within a framework agreement between the Flemish Government and VITO.  The goal of this reference task is to develop, configure and perform annual updates of the operational air quality models that are used by the Flemish governmental bodies, to support the implementation and management of the EU air quality directives in the Flanders region. 

VITO develop and maintain air quality models that are used by Flemish governmental bodies in studies and activities to support the implementation and management of the EU air quality directives in the Flanders region.

The models cover the regional to street scale scales.  In recent years, VITO has been supporting the development and maintenance of web based analysis decision support tools and viewers for the Flemish Government reference task.
