Abstract

Atmospheric pollution at the regional scale must accommodate emissions from different sources, urban sources at the city center and its industrial suburbs as well as rural-type sources in residential areas, parks and ad- jacent cultivated zones.

In particular we are interested in the study of air pollution in the region of Sfax. Sfax is an industrial town at the Mediterranean shores of Tunisia surrounded by extensive olive tree groves. One can thus expect a strong in- teraction between emissions of natural Hydrocarbons (HCs)(from the olive t
