Zusammenfassung:	This paper reports the results of an integrated assessment of traffic impact on a tourist-popular high altitude region which includes mountain passes and road tunnels. A modeling system for air quality assessment and management has been established and revised. The system has been used to evaluate the impact of traffic due to the re-opening of the Mont Blanc tunnel: the increase in NO x concentrations ranges from 50% at the bottom of the upper valley to 150% near to tunnel entrance.
