WG3: Environmental Measurements & Air Pollution Modelling
| |
WG3 will initiate and coordinate a European measure program including studies on innovative, continuous and automated environmental measurement and on air-pollution (NOx, CO, SO2, CO2, O3, BTEX, PAH, PM10, PM2.5, PM1, etc.) modelling in specific hot-spot and large areas located in COST countries. Harmonised air pollution monitoring in Europe will be addressed such as:
- air quality research in urban, industrial, rural and remote sites, including assessing of air quality plans;
- Air quality monitoring of new pollutants to evaluate if these can be standardized in environmental norms;
- Development of particle measurement techniques and personal samplers. Particle and aerosol characterization;
- Inter-compare new instruments with classical ones. Interpret indoor and outdoor variability of levels of air-pollutants;
- Exposure assessments;
- Assessment of abatement strategies;
- Modelling of air pollution;
- Development and/or assessment of environmental emergency response systems (severe events, floods, transboundry radioactive pollution);
- Chemical weather forecasting;
- Assimilation of pollution data in integrated systems for monitoring and management of air quality;
- Assimilation of remote data in air pollution modelling.
These depicted main research tasks will be studied via qualified manpower of the COST Action partners and investigated by their existing operational systems such as:
- Air quality monitoring laboratories;
- Field stations for air quality research;
- Field sampling sites;
- Calibration facilities for aerosol equipment;
- Geochemical laboratories for analysis of air samples;
- Software for chemical weather forecasting and air-pollution modelling;
- Telecommunication hub of World Meteorological Organization.
Objectives
- Assessment of environmental measurements long-term campaigns by AQC gas sensors at
laboratory experiments level;
- Assessment of environmental measurements in field by AQC gas sensor-systems in the air quality
stations;
- Assessment of air-quality modelling with data assimilation from integrated AQC gas sensors;
- Report on chemical weather forecasting at global area and hot-spot case-studies;
- Evaluation of integrated air quality plans and strategies: role of low-cost AQC gas sensors;
- Assessment of clean technologies and environmental management systems reducing the
emission of air-pollutants, green-houses, particulate matter, aerosol, nanoparticles, etc.;
- Assessment of new sensing technologies, including AQC gas sensors and wireless sensors
network, for environmental management;
- Report on harmonisation of environmental measurements in EU-zone and non-COST areas;
- Report on IP Rights of air-quality modelling and chemical weather forecasting.
- Recommendations for laboratory and field experiments for evaluation of low-cost AQC gas
sensors performance;
- Recommendations for research and development needs to improve cost-effective AQC gas
sensors to be integrated in air-quality models and chemical weather forecasting;
- Recommendations for short-term operational developments and AQC gas sensors priorities
and strategies in the air-quality plans;
- Recommendations for improving portable AQC gas sensor-systems in integrated models for
mid- and long-term applications;
- Overview of the current state-of-the-art on air-quality modelling and chemical weather
forecasting;
- Guidelines for management of new AQC sensing wireless technologies.
