Programme Highlights

Despite a wide range of emission control measures recently implemented by Hong Kong Government, and discussion with Guangdong Provincial Government on a new set of regional emission reduction targets, in order to achieve effectively sustainable air pollution control in Hong Kong, critical impact of regional transboundary pollution on Hong Kong air quality subsists and calls for further review of pollution control measures at the regional scale. This technical seminar will present recent findings on the impact of regional PM2.5 transport on Hong Kong through an on-line source tagging modeling approach.
