Metrology for air pollutant emissions

Ulvila, Ville (Manager)

BA6605 Optical spectroscopy

Project: EU project

Description

Methods to support current and future European air quality regulations.

To enable full enforcement of new EU directives with increasingly stringent emissions limits for air pollutants, a metrologically robust framework of standardised measurement methods is needed.

Project develops and validates reference methods for several key air pollutants including HF, NH₃, PM, formaldehyde, SVOC, OGC, PAH.

VTT MIKES develops a field-capable analyser based on optical isotope ratio spectroscopy for online stack emission monitoring of CO₂.
