Air quality Services
The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) provides the decision-making basis your organisation needs for sustainable development and to meet existing legal requirements. Among other things, we carry out investigations related to detailed plans for new buildings and infrastructure, dispersion calculations, and odour assessments during permit applications for industries, as well as monitoring and mapping outdoor air quality in municipalities.
Data hosting
A centralized air quality database improves transparency, quality, and reporting to institutions like the European Union.
Emission inventories
Emission inventories are vital for tracking pollution sources and amounts, aiding emission reduction strategies and atmospheric modelling.
Dispersion modelling
Atmospheric dispersion modelling, combined with pollution data, helps decision makers manage and improve air quality.
Shipping emissions
The shipping industry significantly impacts air pollution and climate; the Shipair model calculates emissions and concentrations from harbors to oceans.
