To comply with EU regulations, local environmental authorities of the regions where the mandatory air quality limits are not met must develop suitable emission reduction plans. These normally represent a compromise among what is economically feasible, what is politically acceptable, and what can provide measurable benefits. As a consequence, they include a large number of different abatement measures pertaining to a wide variety of fields (transport, building, agriculture…), the total effect of which is different from the simple sum of the individual outcome. We illustrate how such a problem has been tackled in an Italian region, supporting the analysis through an integrated modelling tool.

International audience ; This chapter provides a review, derived from the extended survey conducted within the APPRAISAL project, of the integrated assessment methodologies used in different countries to design air quality plans and to estimate the effects of emission abatement policy options on human health. The final purpose of this review is to foster the dissemination of knowledge on integrated assessment for air quality planning at regional and local scales, and to provide policy makers and regulatory bodies across EU member states with a broader understanding of the underlying scientific concepts.
