Environmental Modeling, Numerical Modelling, Simulations - Vatnaskil Consulting Engineers

One of the most challenging and widespread environmental problems facing the international community today is air pollution.  Its known impacts on health and the environment make air pollution of growing importance and most major construction projects require environmental impact studies in order to ensure compliancy with environmental air quality regulations.

Vatnaskil has years of experience in the field of air pollution dispersion modelling using state of the art modelling software.
