Abstract

In urban environments, air pollution at the ground level is influenced not only by building configurations but also by roof structures, such as flat, dome, and pitched roofs. The release of pollutants from stacks into the atmosphere plays a significant role in determining air quality. This paper examines the impact of roof configurations on flow dynamics and air pollution dispersion in urban settings. Key parameters, including humidity on the coldest and hottest days of the year in London, as well as wind direction, have been analysed. The results highlight the influence of these factors on air quality. (Wimshurst, n.d.)
