BACKGROUND
Several urban and industrial areas in Southern Europe exceed PM10
and PM2.5 limit values
Anthropogenic emissions: channelled and diffuse
Traffic,..
Biomass burning
Industry
Harbour
Construction

MAIN OBJECTIVE
The AIRUSE project aims to provide the
National Authorities of Southern
European countries with the appropriate
measures to reduce PM2.5 and PM10
concentrations in air

EXPECTED RESULTS
•Identification and quantification of the PM10 and PM2.5 emission
sources
•Development and demonstration of effective mitigation strategies
for air pollution
•Provide the decision makers with European valuable tools for
environmental planning
•Reduction of PM10 and PM2.5 levels to meet the limits established
by EU

PROBLEMS DETECTED AND OBTAINED EXPERIENCE
Industrial emissions inventory
Constraints
Identification of non IPPC activities
Identification of BATs implemented
Obtaining specific emission factors (PM2.5)
PM diffuse emissions inventories don’t exist:
identification of sources, bulk solids handled, specific
emission factors, etc.

PROBLEMS DETECTED AND OBTAINED EXPERIENCE
Constraints
Biomass Burning & Traffic
Inventories uncertainty: residential combustion
equipments and wooden fuels used
Difficulties to distinguish contribution of diesel from
gasoline
