    Abstract

    The problem of the pollution due to the traffic is faced using a numerical model. An experimental campaign was conducted close to the East Highway in Milan (Italy). Meteorological parameter and chemical concentrations were measured and the traffic emissions evaluated. Numerical simulations of the dispersion from the highway were carried out. Then a possible future emission scenario due to a partial introduction of the electric vehicle was hypothesized and new simulations were performed. The results of the two simulations are compared in order to evaluate the pollution reduction obtained introducing the electric vehicle.
