Abstract
The comprehensive Gas Aerosol Modelling Evaluation System (GAMES)was used to investigate the impact of EU Directives on roadtraffic emissions scheduled for 2010 on photochemical pollution.The area under study is located in Northern Italy, whereorographic features and the emissive mix represent a criticalissue in ozone production and accumulation processes. Thelong-term period April-September 1996 was selected as thereference case, and an impact assessment simulation for the year2010 was performed, including the future emission fields based onthe current legislation. In order to evaluate the effectiveness ofthe EU road traffic abatement policy in Northern Italy, graphicalindicators were computed and analysed.
