From inception, the subject of air pollution was established as one of the priority problems for study within the frameworkofvariouspilotstudiesundertakenbythiscommittee.Themainactivity relating to air pollution is the periodic organization of a conference series called InternationalTechnicalMeetingonAirPollutionModelinganditsApplication (ITM). Pilot Countries organizing these meetings have been: United States of America; Federal Republic of Germany; Belgium; The Netherlands; Denmark; PortugalandCanada. This volume contains the abstracts of papers and posters presented at the 31st NATO/SPS ITM, held in Torino, Italy, from September 27 to October 1, 2010. This ITM was organizedby the Instituteof Atmospheric Sciences andClimateof theItalianNationalResearchCouncil(HostCountry)andTheUniversityofBritish Columbia (Pilot Country). Key topics presented at this ITM included: Local and urbanscalemodelling;Regionalandintercontinentalmodelling;Dataassimilation and air quality forecasting; Model assessment and verification; Aerosols in the atmosphere; Interactions between climate change and air quality; Air quality and humanhealth. The ITM was attended by 157 participants representing 36 countries. Invited paperswerepresentedbyAndreaFlossmann,France(AerosolsintheAtmosphere); Stefano Galmarini, Italy(Data AssimilationandAir QualityForecasting); Joakim Langner, Sweden (Interactions between climate change and air quality) and LawrenceReiter,USA(Airpollutionandhumanhealth).
