A series of training events addressing harmonized measurements of emerging pollutants of the new air quality directive
In November 2024 Directive (EU) 2024/2881 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe has been published. This is connected to the European Union’s objective
towards zero pollution by 2050 facilitating prevention of premature deaths due to air pollution. The new air quality directive merges the 2004 and 2008 legislation and
responds to the World Health Organization recommendations on lower guideline standards and to monitor additional air pollutants, such as Ultrafine Particle (UFP) and
Black Carbon (BC) concentrations. The European Member States have two years to transpose the requirements of the new air quality directive.
RI-URBANS co-organizes a series of training events addressing harmonized measurements of emerging pollutants of the new air quality directive with the Network of Air Quality Reference Laboratories (AQUILA), Aerosols, Clouds and TRace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) and European Environmental Agency (EEA).
The training is organized in a series of on-line sessions concentrating on different aspects of the emerging pollutants and air quality directive requirements.
Schedule:
Training #1: 23.1. 2025 09:30 – 11:30 CET Aerosol particle number concentration
Training #2: 27.1. 2025 09:30 – 11:30 CET Aerosol particle number size distribution
Training #3: 11.2. 2025 09:30 – 11:30 CET Equivalent Black Carbon
