Description :
This study tries to evaluate the chemical transformation and deposition processes of air pollutants in Galicia, using both a photochemical model and a meteorological prediction model. Topography, soil use, emissions inventory and meteorological measurements are used to develop the simulations. The air pollutant concentrations obtained in the simulation are similar to those obtained in field measurements. As a result, a refined methodoly for the implementation of a photochemical model for Galicia was obtained.
