Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET)

Transcription

1 Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET) Shiro TODA Asia Center for Air Pollution Research (ACAP), JAPAN as the Network Center for EANET 1

2 1. Objectives of EANET - Expert group meetings: (4 times) - Preparatory phase activities: Started its regular phase activities in Jan to achieve the following objectives. IG2 in 2000 to create a common understanding of the state of the acid deposition problems in East Asia; to provide useful inputs for decision-making at local, national and regional levels aimed at preventing or reducing adverse impacts on the environment caused by acid deposition; and to contribute to cooperation on the issues related to acid deposition among the participating countries. In order to contribute development of international cooperative efforts for prevention or reduction of adverse environmental impacts of acid deposition, participating countries will discuss future EANET activities. 2

3 2. Instrument for Strengthening EANET Adoption and Execution: at 12th Intergovernmental Meeting (IG12) in Nov in Niigata, Japan Operationalized: 1 January in 2012 ) 1. Name: Instrument for Strengthening the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET) 2. Activity: Monitoring of acid deposition including ozone and PM 3. Scope: Can be extended as decided by IG. 4. Research: Promote studies on scientific issues including emission inventory and modeling. 5. Network Center: One or more network centers could be designated, as the need arises. 6. Financial arrangement: Voluntary Financial Contribution from the participating countries based on burden sharing and UN scale of assessment. 7. Signature: Instrument is signed by the designated or authorized representatives. 3

(1) Duration: Jan (3 weeks) Mr. Vannly PAK (2) Trainees: Cambodia, Malaysia and Myanmar (Total 3 trainees) (3) Contents - Wet, dry deposition monitoring - Soil/vegetation monitoring - Inland aquatic environment monitoring - Data management, etc. Ms. Amirah MUHAMAD AKHIR Mr. Tin Htoo Aung

16 EANET Fellowship Research 6. Other EANET activities (Research) 1. In 2013 Two researchers from: Mongolia (Ms. Oyunchimeg Dugerjav) Long-range transport of air pollutants related with meteorological process in Asia Thailand (Mr. Wan Wiriya) Atmospheric dry and wet nitrogen deposition in Thailand Ms. Oyunchimeg Dugerjav They conducted research in Oct. Dec at ACAP 2. In 2014 Application: 4 Application from 4 countries (Cambodia, Mongolia, Russia, Thailand) Researchers from Mongolia (Meteorological condition during the highly polluted and clean days in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) and Russia (Investigation of long-term change of air pollutants concentrations in North-East Asia including Russia using EANET monitoring data) were selected.. They will conduct their research in Oct. Dec at ACAP. Dr. Wan Wiriya 16

17 6. Other EANET activities (Public Awareness & Int l Cooperation ) Promotion of public awareness 1) National Awareness WS: held in Vietnam on May, ) ACAP Open House: held in Niigata on 7 August, ) Uploading of EANET meetings priority documents with authorized password protection.. LTP meeting in Seoul, R. of Korea 14 May 2013 ACAP Open House : Hands-on experiment of ph measurement by School Students International Cooperation Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution in Northeast Asia (LTP) The 16 th Expert Meeting for LTP was held in Seoul in May, China/Japan/R. of Korea agreed on the draft roadmap of the 4 th stage research plan of the project. Annual meeting in 2014 was held on November in Yeosu, R. of Korea. 17
