POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 Identification of pollution sources in the Lombardy Region: Source apportionment by Chemical Analysis and Receptor Modelling WP1 Source Apportionment

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 WPG 1 Source Apportionment The work-package activities on particulate matter will be focused on two major activities, namely: i) a present state source apportionment of PM10 (PM 2.5) ii) a follow up source apportionment of PM10 after 2 years. The methodology to be used has developed and tested within the Integrated Krakow Project and is based upon exhaustive chemical and physical characterization of samples from ambient air and from major emission sources - combined with multivariate receptor modelling.

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 WPG 2. Transport Emissions Abatement Technological options. Research programme: -> Assessment of PM emissions reduction options for heavy-duty trucks ->Testing of advanced/innovative vehicle concepts ->Study of fuels, additives and retrofit systems for passenger cars ->Study of lube oil impact on 2-stroke moped emissions

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 New Heavy Duty Test Facility (VELA 7)- under construction

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 WPG 3 Air Quality monitoring 1)Quality control of PM measurements in the Lombardy Region Air Quality monitoring network 1.1 Analysis of the existing Monitoring Network 1.2 Measuring and inter-comparison campaigns: 1.3 Quality Control of RL Network

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, ) Support RL in the developments of new air quality assessment technologies and strategies: Testing and development of new instrumentation and techniques, focusing on:  Evaluation of new sensors for continuous PM 10 /PM 2.5 measurements with reduced sampling artefacts (e.g. TEOM- FDMS)  Semiconductor micro-sensors for gaseous pollutants  Potential use of remote sensing e.g. for emission inventories control 3) Impact of road transport on air pollution levels and on human exposure Measuring campaigns in urban hot spots, to be defined based on preliminary results obtained within the project.

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 WPG 4. Integrated Assessment Objectives: Develop methodologies for the integrated assessment of the Regional Plans for the Air Quality To assist the regional tools for Air Quality – emission inventories (INEMAR) – AQ models Collaboration with other Regions of Po Valley and other European groups

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 Integrated assessment Air quality (POMI) WP4 Integrated Assessment

POMI kick-off meeting 7 March, 2008 A tool to bring together data on pollutant sources (emission inventories), their respective contribution to atmospheric concentrations (S/R relationships) and human exposure, together with information on potential technological and other measures that may be used to reduce concentrations and their costs. The RIAT will be built as a self-consistent IT tool, set-up in a modular way to facilitate further updates, flexible enough to be geographically versatile and user-friendly. It should be efficient in supporting the air quality decision making process. RIAT (I) The Regional Integrated Assessment Tool should be:
