Short summary
Po Valley (northern Italy, 42 000 km2, 15 million inhabitants) is a real-scale model to test whether environmental policies may improve one of the worst air qualities in Europe. In this study we show how pollution from fine and coarse atmospheric particles (PM2.5 and PM10–2.5), largely originating from anthropogenic emissions, dropped thanks to the broader use of cleaner and more efficient technologies.
