One of the functions of the Samuel Neaman Institute is to bridge the gap between academia, industry and decision-makers by making applicable, up-to-date information and research-based knowledge accessible to state institutions. The documents of national priorities compiled at the Shmuel Ne'eman Institute deal with a variety of issues that are important to raise on the public agenda.
Air Pollution

Furthermore topographic conditions and the Mediterranean climate impede the efficient scattering of pollutants into the atmosphere.
