1 Linking ammonia emission reduction and air concentrations and depositions of reduced nitrogen in Europe Albert Bleeker ECN Air Quality & Climate Change
2 Outline Background of this (trends) study Results previous trends study - Data on emissions and concentrations/depositions - Conclusions drawn What happened since that study? - Did it bring new insights?
3 Background of this trends study Builds on previous study by Sutton et al. (2000) - Background document for the UN/ECE Ammonia Expert Group (AEG) Reason for update of the old study - Additional 5 years of information - New studies on emission/concentration/deposition relations Input to new background document to be presented at the December meeting of UN/ECE AEG
4 Why is this study important? Emission/transport/deposition of reduced nitrogen (NH x ; NH 3 and NH 4+ ) will eventually lead to eutrophication and acidification of ecosystems and contribute to local air quality Recognizing this, together with the transboundary nature of the problem, the UN/ECE developed protocols on: - Limiting NH 3 emissions - Reducing SO 2, NO x and VOC concentrations - Setting national emission ceilings to be reached in 2010 (Gothenburg Protocol, 1999) In parallel: European Union agreed on the National Emissions Ceilings Directive (NECD), setting targets for e.g. NH 3 emissions binding in European Law.
5 Why is this important? (II) Evidence needed for effective NH 3 emission reduction: - Achievable - Measurable NH 3 emissions mainly from agricultural sources, thus: - Abating NH 3 will be in agricultural sector - Reduction in animal numbers - Reducing fertilizer consumption - Implementing technical measures Since reducing sector activity was not an option, there is a need to demonstrate the effectiveness of technical measures
6 Challenges Quantify the link between NH 3 emission changes and monitored atmospheric NH x in situations where emissions have definitely changed - Note: not only NH x issue. Many questions regarding linearity between SO 2 and NO x emissions and NH x concentrations Assess the effectiveness of NH 3 emission abatement policies
7 What has been done? 2000 trends study brought together information about the link between NH 3 emission and measurements (concentration and deposition) from different case studies: - link between agr. sector activity and atm. NH x - Hungary, Slovakia, Former East & West Germany, Russia, Switzerland & North Carolina - link between NH 3 emission abatement and atm. NH x - Netherlands - Denmark
8 Emissions: are they true? NH3 emission (kt yr -1 ) (CH, DK, D[E], HU, NL, SL) NH3 emission (kt yr -1 ) (D[W], RU) Denmark Germany (E) Hungary Netherlands Slovakia Switzerland Germany (W) Russian Fed

(μg m -3 ) NH4 + in pptn. (mg l -1 ) & wet deposition (g m -2 year -1 ) SO2 & aerosol SO4 2- conc. (μg m -3 ) ammonium in rain ammonium wet dep. ammonium 3 yr mean suphate aerosol suphur dioxide

11 Netherlands NH3 conc. ( g m -3 ) % emission reduction 10% reduction NH 4 wd 29% reduction NH 4 aerosol 6 NHx wet dep. (kg N ha -1 yr -1 ) NH4 + conc. ( g m -3 ) Again: part of the explanation - parallel changes in SO 2 and NO x emission But also: overestimation of effectiveness of measures Measurements Model
12 Netherlands effect of changing SO 2 and NO x ammonium wet deposition ammonia concentration SO 2 and NO x emissions and actual emissions increase in NH 3 conc. and decrease in NH 4 wd
13 Overall conclusions many difficulties involved in evaluating changes in NH 3 emissions by using monitoring networks - need for long time series - interaction with other components (SO 2 & NO x ) - models used not always complete caution when measured values do not follow expectations: - limitations in the models - limitations in the monitoring - ineffectiveness of the abatement techniques
14 What happened since? Ongoing discussion on trends (in relation with meeting the NECD targets) - Additional measuring programmes - Evaluating/updating models - Emissions - Transport/deposition Updated information; 5 additional years - Emissions - Concentrations/depositions New studies - United Kingdom - Netherlands - EMEP

18 United Kingdom Question to be answered: - Can we detect NH 3 emission changes after the outbreak of foot & mouth disease? Study motivated by Dutch & E. European experience of difficulty to see trends following emission reductions

22 EMEP - Europe NH 3 +NH 4+ decrease more as a consequence of SO x reductions Less effect on conc. in precip: less scavenging of NH 4 + compensated by more of NH 3 Tendency for air concentrations to decrease more than wet depositions model predicts this to be caused by the SO 2 emission reductions

44 Overall Much effort put in trying to get a grip on the linkages between emissions and concentration New studies (again) showed relevance of having insight in: - Adequate emission estimates - Adequate model parameterizations - Need for long-term good quality measurements - in contrasting areas (evaluating abatement measures) If all this can be brought together, valuable evaluations on the effectiveness of NH 3 abatement measures can indeed be made However, further discussion needed on reasons behind observed (lack of) trends in emissions and concentrations
45 UN/ECE Expert Group on Ammonia 4 6 December 2006, Edinburgh (UK) Datasets on trends of NH x still welcome, to be included in the background document - Not only Europe; also other experiences are needed to get the full picture Contact: a.bleeker@ecn.nl
