Metrology for air pollutant emissions

Project: EU project

Project Details

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.
