16 Integrated approach for Air Quality Management

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.

20 Cooperation with other International/Regional Programmes ► Scientific cooperation with CLRTAP EMEP, WMO were strengthened in the past years. ► New partnerships were explored, such as UNEP-WHO Regional Forum on Environment and Health. ► Collaborative activities conducted with IIASA in the Model Inter-Comparison Study in Asia (MICS-Asia) project. ► A joint Workshop with TF HTAP was held back to back with SAC9 in 2009.

21 Emission inventories should be promoted to support modeling activities and for improving environmental management. Regulatory Measures Fiscal Measures Technical Options Policies Inventories Modeling Monitoring Emission Transport Deposition Effects Assessment [Cost & Benefit] Models are a cost-effective way to supplement data gaps by interpolation, extrapolation of observations in space and time; test current theories & explore hypothetical control scenarios.
