Compilation, evaluation, storage and provision of data. Promotion of quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) activities. Promotion of quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) activities. Implementation of technical support and capacity building. Implementation of technical support and capacity building. Producing periodic reports on the state of acid deposition in East Asia. Producing periodic reports on the state of acid deposition in East Asia. Promotion of research activities related to acid deposition problems. Promotion of research activities related to acid deposition problems. Promotion of public awareness. Promotion of public awareness. Other relevant activities, Other relevant activities, -Modeling activities and emission inventories, -Selection and review of priority substances to be assessed, -Promotion of formation of an “Epistemic Community”, -Improvement and development of institutional arrangement.

9. 9 Achievements of EANET ► Establishment of a Monitoring Network in East Asia. ► Acquisition of reliable High Quality Data according to specified QA/QC procedures. ► Strengthening Technical Capacity in the participating countries through training activities. ► Providing Technical Support to participating countries. ► Sharing of data and information. ► Enhancing Public Awareness on acid deposition issues. ► Improving Knowledge and Understanding through research activities. ► Promotion of Cooperation between countries and with other international/regional programmes.

17. Roles of Relevant Entities of Data Management in EANET National Center : Collect the national monitoring data and submit them to the Network Center. National QA/QC Manager : Promote national QA/QC activities in cooperation and coordination with the national centers. In Charge of QA/QC activities in each country. Network Center (ADORC) : Compile, evaluate and store the EANET monitoring data and provide data upon requests. Preparation of the data report. The QA/QC Manager for EANET: In Charge of QA/QC activities in EANET. Ad hoc Group on Data Verification: Data verification. Scientific Advisory Committee : Endorsement of the data report.
