Correlations of PM10 concentrations in urban areas with vehicle fleet development, rain precipitation and diesel fuel sales
Although in many developed countries the green transition towards sustainable mobility is going faster and faster towards low or zero emission vehicles, road traffic is so far one of the key PM10 pollution source in urban areas. This research compares and analyses correlations between PM10 pollution trends in urban areas and the following parameters: vehicles fleet, rain precipitations and diesel fuel sales. The city of Rome has been selected as pilot area, analysing data gathered by its PM10 monitoring network between 2006 and 2017.
