Ultrafine particle size distributions in air pollution monitoring networks

• EU LIFE Environment project

• 12-2004 – 3-2008 (11-2007)

• 868 kEUR total budget

PM10 (< 10 µm)• show adverse health effects

in Epidemiological studies• EU directive EU/1999/30

to reduce PM10 is in force

Ultrafine Particles (< 100 nm = UFP):• Particle number concentrations of

UFP partly raised during winter periods 1991 – 1999 in Erfurt (Cyrys et al. 2002)

and 2001 - 2005 Dresden (Löschau 2006).

• toxicological effects• EU wants more spatial and time scale

information• Today: measured only in a few routine

measuring stations in Europe

Purpose

• half hour average in database

• Implemented in routinemeasuring stations

• Same sampling conditions

• comparison with reference instrument for sum of particles and single ranges good. Next comparison Jan-2008 (long term stability)
