1 Clean Air for Europe and Research Needs
A first overview CAFE Steering Group 18 November 2004 André Zuber Clean Air & Transport Unit DG Environment

2 Main knowledge gaps and research needs
Summing up the key knowledge gaps so far Input to the EU 7th Framework programme and the TS Useful for national research plans as well Be better prepared for the next cycle for air pollution policies This is not the complete picture of the research needs

3 Overview of knowledge gaps
Understanding changes in society Emission sources, atmospheric chemistry and deposition Effects of air pollution Environment and health Assessment tools and policy instruments Abatement technologies Risk assessment and risk managment

4 Understanding changes in society
Research needs so far Understanding changes in society Effects of other EU policies (e g climate change, transport) on air pollution Globalisation of economy –long term structural shifts Changing emissions globally Changing European population and

5 Emission sources, atmospheric chemistry and deposition
Research needs so far Emission sources, atmospheric chemistry and deposition Sources of PM and role of ”natural sources” Secondary organic aerosols Hemispheric air pollution Links between the environmental problems, air pollution, climate change, eutrophication Improved assessment of air pollution situation, through superstations, remote sensing, modelling

6 Effects of air pollution
Research needs so far Effects of air pollution Environment: Dynamic effects on ecosystems Effects of air pollution on biodiversity Integrated effects of nitrogen on ecosystems (biodiversity, acidification, carbon cycle, greenhouse gases) Health: Effects of changing pollution mix and vulnerability Long term effects of ozone Effects of specific fractions of PM (UF) and sources Health impact monitoring

7 Abatement, assessment tools and policy instruments
Research needs so far Abatement, assessment tools and policy instruments Abatement technologies Technologies and measures to reduce PM and NOx, effectiveness and costs of abatement Non technical measures Vehicle related measures, including on-board diagnostics Risk assessment and risk managment Integrated assessment modelling, non-technical measures and local scale, policy instruments
