abstract = {This work aims to assess the impacts of biodiesel blends
use in road-traffic on air quality. In this frame, the air
quality numerical modelling system WRF-EURAD was applied
over Portugal and the Porto urban area, forced by two
emission scenarios (including CO, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, NMVOC,
formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and benzene): a
reference scenario, without biofuels, and a scenario where a
B20 fuel $(20\%$ $biodiesel/80\%$ diesel, v/v) is used by
the diesel vehicle fleet. Regarding carbonyl compounds,
emission scenarios pointed out that B20 fuel can promote an
increase of $20\%$ on formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and
acrolein emissions, leading to increments on equivalent
ozone production. On the other hand, through the air quality
modelling exercise, it was verified that the use of B20
helps in controlling air pollution, improving CO and NO2
concentrations in urban airshed in about $20\%$ and $10\%,$
respectively, taking into account a regional simulation
grid. However, according to the urban scale simulation, NO2
levels can increase in about $1\%,$ due to the use of B20,
over the Porto urban area. For the remaining studied
pollutants, namely PM10 and PM2.5, mean concentrations will
be reduced all over the territory, however in a negligible
amount of $<1\%$},
