1 Improving Environmental Monitoring and Inspection in Poland Performed by NILU - Norwegian Institute for Air Research, and Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection - GIOŚ, Trondheim, 15. December 2017 Trond Bøhler NILU - Norwegian Institute for Air Research Within the framework of European Economic Area

2 NILU/GIOS projects in Poland NILU/GIOS carried out two projects in Poland within the framework of European Economic Area : Strengthening technical capacities of Inspection of Environmental Protection through the procurement of measurement, laboratory and IT equipment Strengthening the air quality assessment system in Poland, based on Norwegian experience

3 Strengthening technical capacities of Inspection of Environmental Protection through the procurement of measurement, laboratory and IT equipment The project contains 2 main activities: Activity 1: Elaboration of technical specifications for measurement, laboratory and IT equipment, as basis for tendering procedures realized under Activity 2. Activity 2: Purchase of measurement, laboratory and IT equipment including automated analyzers of SO 2, NO x, benzene, ozone, CO, PM 10 and PM 2.5.

4 Strengthening the air quality assessment system in Poland, based on Norwegian experience The project contains 5 main activities: Activity 1: Optimization/modernization of measurement networks incl. IT tools and software Activity 2: Improving the Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures, by intercalibrations and common field campaigns. Activity 3: Adjusting air quality assessment according to the requirements the new EU reporting decision, with special attention to spatial data and modeling. Activity 4: Supporting air quality assessment with emission data from point and dispersed sources. Activity 5: Providing visualization of air quality monitoring data, as a part of spatial information system compliant with INSPIRE requirements including e- reporting mechanism for reporting to EU..

5 Analysis of the existing ambient air quality monitoring networks in Poland and review of the plans to pursue new equipment First analysis of the AQ monitoring networks in Poland, based on the information prepared by GIOŚ and WIOŚ (analysis of needs to meet Directives requirements, existing monitoring equipment, data capture, etc); Review of the future monitoring equipment acquisitions proposed by GIOS (to be funded by the EOG financial mechanism)

6 Analysis of the system for AQ data acquisition from automatic stations, aiming at its modernisation review of two assessment reports covering existing data management systems and the draft technical tender for purchasing a new data management system at a regional level

7 Norwegian "good practice" in the field of the 5-year assessment including guidance regarding the location of stations Based on the recent air quality assessments done in Norway Overview over the available relevant information and assessment methods: 1) Fixed measurements; 2) Indicative measurements; 3) Modelling; 4) Objective estimations; 5) a combination of these.

8 Combination of methods: Current Mapping in Norway Combination of observations and model data (10x10 km) Useful for population exposure analysis Includes an analysis of uncertainties Probability of exceedance in terms of temporal variability in the last 10 years

9 Methodology Data fusion approach Models and observations Station Observations: Annual means (for spatial component) and Hourly time series (for temporal component) Model: EMEP annual averages at 50 km x 50 km Background measurements Other data: Satellite observations, Digital Elevation Model, Population density Geostatistical approach to fuse the datasets 2 components: Spatial component (Residual kriging: ETC/ACM methodology) Temporal component Elevation semivariogram model Population Density Final map

10 Activity 2, PM intercomparison 2 weeks in Zabrze from 25 November 2014 Good site, professional setup NILU: 2 SEQ47/50 samplers, PM10 and PM2.5 Workshop in Łódź, May 2015 The PM intercomparison exercise showed that both GIOS and WIOSes have excellent competence in PM sampling and analysis NILU gained valuable experience from report reviews, the PM intercomparison and discussions
