Reporting and exchanging air quality information using e-Reporting
A number of EU legal instruments require EU Member States to monitor and report air quality data. This information is collated, analysed and disseminated by the European Environment Agency (EEA). At present much of the data is reported electronically by countries in data flows required under a specific legal instrument. As a result, reporting on air quality is not always integrated across all ...

Low-Cost Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System
There is a plethora of scientific reports & research by WHO, Global burden of disease, IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) on the harmful effects of air pollution. Day by day increasing pollution level mandates some air standards to be in place looking at the dire need for air quality management. We need to try and recede the pollution below the ‘threshold effect ...

Air quality modelling as a supplementary assessment method in the framework of the European Air Quality Directive
According to the European Air Quality (AQ) Directive, member states must annually report their AQ to the European Commission (EC). This report can be based on modelling data if the concentration levels do not exceed the established lower assessment thresholds (LAT), or on combined data from modelling and monitoring systems (supplementary assessment methods) if concentrations levels are below the ...

Air quality in Europe — 2012 report
'Air pollution is bad for our health. It reduces human life expectancy by more than eight months on average and by more than two years in the most polluted cities and regions. Member States must comply with EU air quality standards quickly and reduce air pollutant emissions,' Janez Potočnik, EU Commissioner for the Environment (EU, 2010a). Emissions of air pollutants derive from almost all ...

Air quality in Europe — 2015 report
Air pollution is both an environmental and a social problem, as it leads to a multitude of adverse effects on human health, ecosystems, the built environment and the climate. Air pollution poses the single largest environmental health risk in Europe today. Air pollutants are emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources; they may be transported or formed over long distances; and they may affect ...

Air quality in Europe — 2011 report
The present report provides an overview and analysis of air quality in Europe. The analysis covers up to 38 European countries (EEA-38) (1) and spans the two decades of data that countries have made officially available up to 2009. The evaluation of the status and trends of air quality is based on ambient air measurements and data on anthropogenic emissions and trends. Emissions of the main air ...

How to Survive Sandstorm Season
Asthma awareness is crucial when living in the GCC, especially when we live in a climate which has significant environmental triggers such as sandstorms. Several studies conducted in the Arabian Peninsula countries with a high rate of sandstorms, confirmed the increased prevalence of asthma in those countries. It was also reported that sandstorms frequently cause adverse health effects on the ...

Part 2: Reducing air pollution through the supply chain process
As per the recent announcement of the mandatory climate disclosures, construction organisations will now need to show their pollution reports and the actions that they are taking to becoming net zero and more sustainable. There are many ways that the construction industry can reduce pollution, one of them being through the building design itself which is discussed in part 1 here: “reducing ...

Air quality in Europe — 2013 report
Air quality continues to be a very important issue for public health, the economy and the environment. Europe has significantly cut emissions of several air pollutants in recent decades, greatly reducing emissions and exposure to substances such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), benzene (C6H6) and lead (Pb). Despite improvements over several decades, air pollution continues to ...

ALL4 Air Quality Modeling Update
As it’s been over a year since my last air quality modeling-related 4TR article, I thought it appropriate to provide a general status report on the air quality modeling updates that have occurred over the last year. There are a number of items that warrant discussion around their updates and the potential impacts on the regulated community, specifically: A new version of U.S. ...

Air pollution and climate change policies in Europe: exploring linkages and the added value of an integrated approach
This report explores the linkages between air quality and climate change from a European perspective in order to assist the European Environment Agency (EEA) in approaching the issues of air quality and climate change in an integrated way. The report addresses the linkages between air pollution and climate change by: (1) collecting and summarising existing information from the ...

Air quality and ancillary benefits of climate change policies
The Thematic Strategy on air pollution aims to improve European air pollution significantly by 2020. This report from the European Environment Agency looks a further ten years into the future, and brings together two major policy challenges — combating climate change and reducing air pollution in an integrated way. Thus, the report analyses projected changes in European air quality up to 2030, ...

CPCB to Validate Sensor-Based Air Quality Monitoring System??
Rapid economic growth has brought many benefits to India; but the environment has suffered, exposing the population to serious air pollution. The consequences of pollution have led to poor urban air quality in many Indian cities. The air pollution and the resultant air quality can be attributed to emissions from transportation, industrial and domestic activities. Due to pollution, the ambient ...

First evaluation of a novel screening tool for outlier detection in large scale ambient air quality datasets
Systematic collection of long term meso- to large-scale datasets of ambient air quality provides an indispensible means for air pollution monitoring. However, the quality of these monitoring data depends on the chosen method of measurements and the QA/QC procedures applied. We present the first version of a prototyped screening tool for the automatic detection of outliers in large data volume ...

Air pollution in Europe 1990-2004
Overall picture This report analyses and presents changes in air pollutant emissions and their possible health or ecosystem impacts in Europe covering the period 1990–2004. Emissions of all air pollutants fell substantially during the period 1990–2004 in the 32 EEA member countries (EEA-32), resulting in improved air quality over the region. However, ambient concentrations of particulate matter ...
