AB  - The Second-order Closure Integrated Puff (SCIPUFF) model was used to study the 
      impact on urban air quality caused by two cement plants emissions located near 
      the city of Caserta, Italy, during the entire year of 2015. The simulated and 
      observed PM10 concentrations were compared using three monitoring stations 
      located in urban and sub-urban area of Caserta city. Both simulated and observed 
      concentrations are shown to be highest in winter, lower in autumn and spring and 
      lowest in summer. Model results generally follow the pattern of the observed 
      concentrations but have a systematic under-prediction of the concentration 
      values. Measures of the bias, NMSE and RMSE indicate a good correlation between 
      observed and estimated values. The SCIPUFF model data analysis suggest that the 
      cement plants are major sources for the measured PM10 values and are responsible 
      for the deterioration of the urban air quality in the city of Caserta.
