Abstract
For most morphologies, the pitched roofs lead to higher average pollution concentrations, and in some cases to pollution hotspots near emission sources especially on the leeward side. The pitched roofs are rarely beneficial to ventilation of the street canyons, but a few roof arrangements lead to reduced concentrations on the windward side. Roof slope is shown to significantly relate to both average pollution concentrations and their distribution inside the street; in some street geometries more than others. The results have implications for pedestrian and residential pollution exposure, and for conservation of building facades on historical buildings.
