PM work plan under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution Henning Wuester Secretariat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (for general information) (for the Task Force)

Intergovernmental bodies, expert groups and scientific centres under the Convention

Tentative timetable for work on PM, adopted by EMEP: The basis z Broad timing: y Aimed at supporting the review of the Gothenburg Protocol in y 2003 reserved for testing and sensitivity analysis y Results of specialized studies and new data should be available by 2002 y 2001 for preparatory work z Coverage: acidification, eutrophication, ozone and exposure to fine particles involving SO 2, NO x, VOCs, NH 3 and the various species of particulate matter. Linkages to climate change policies. Here: only PM-relevant parts

Tentative PM timetable: contributors z EMEP (CCC, MSC-W, CIAM, TFIAM, TFMM, TFEIP) covers: y atmospheric modelling, y monitoring, y emissions & projections, y abatement costs, y integrated assessment modelling z Input from: y other bodies under the Convention (effects) and y work done by EEA and the EC y national contributions by Parties
