(Discontinuity between 2004 (reported) and 2005 (projected) due to different sources of data) The same trend has occurred for acidifying and eutrophying substances, with reductions of 47% and 30% since 1990

11 th EIONET AQ workshop La Rochelle 26-27/10/2006 Outdoor air quality – Particulate matter in EEA and EECCA region Annual PM10 urban concentrations, calculated by GMAPS and monitored PM10 concentrations in EEA countries, averaged through urban background stations, and TSP concentrations monitored in EECCA Air pollution is among the most serious environmental problems faced by cities in the EECCA region as well. Lack of monitoring data of sufficient quality precludes in- depth assessment of the state of air quality in this region though air quality has been monitored in all the countries for many years Lack of funds has inhibited any major progress. Obsolete measuring methods are therefore still widely in use (UNECE, 2006). TSP concentrations in EECCA countries are quite high comparing with the modelled data. Generally applied sampling procedure - 20 minutes three or four times a day - seem to lead to rather unreliable, and to some extent systematically overestimated observations. Nevertheless, modelled as well as observed PM data indicate that the pollution levels in the cities of most of the EECCA countries are high heaving corresponding health effects on the population in these cities.

11 th EIONET AQ workshop La Rochelle 26-27/10/2006 Air pollution in EECCA region Time evolution of air quality index API in largest cities of the Russian Federation Increase of API is caused mainly by increase of air pollution by benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in monitored cities of RF The number of cities with concentrations of BaP over MAC has increased in the last five years (to 47% in 2004). This increase in BaP concentration is assumed to be caused by forest fires, by an increase of industrial production without implementation of respective abetment measures, by an increase of usage of diesel cars and by waste incineration. High concentrations of BaP are observed in winter months which indicates increased consumption of solid fuels for domestic heating

11 th EIONET AQ workshop La Rochelle 26-27/10/2006 Impact of air pollution and Responses (Prospects) Specific air quality policies of the CAFE Strategy will significantly improve air quality and reduce the impacts both on human health and ecosystems. Projected effects are the largest for the air pollution problem which may be considered as the most crucial one: loss of life expectancy because of PM exposure. They are smaller, but still very significant for three other impact indicators: damages due to exceedance of critical loads for acidification, damages due to excess nitrogen deposition, and health and the environment damages due to ozone exposure.

11 th EIONET AQ workshop La Rochelle 26-27/10/2006 Prospects in UNECE region Future progress in air quality protection in EECCA and UNECE region in general could be connected with envisaged challenges for the Convention. These are predominately focussed to particulate matter pollution, and air pollution and climate change issues and linkages. To include particulate matter in any future air pollution strategies of the Convention requires to set not only an emission ceiling for anthropogenic emissions of PM10 and/or PM2.5 but also to further lower the existing emissions ceilings for their precursors.

11 th EIONET AQ workshop La Rochelle 26-27/10/2006 Conclusions – key messages In NWE, air pollution, mainly by fine particles and ground level ozone, continues to pose a significant threat to human health: it shortens average life expectancy by almost one year. In EECCA, the poor quality of the data precludes in-depth assessment of the state of air quality and its consequences. The limited data available indicate that the main health threats from air pollution are also from small particles and their toxic constituents. Air pollution also still poses a serious threat to the environment and agricultural production in many parts of Europe through the acidification and eutrophication of lakes, rivers, forests and other ecosystems, and damage to forests, crops and vegetation by ground-level ozone. The main contributor to air pollution in cities is the continuing growth in road transport. Emissions from industry, power production and households also contribute substantially in urban areas in many parts of EECCA, central and eastern Europe and in the Balkan countries. Emissions and exposures to the public and ecosystems in NWE are projected to fall significantly by 2020 as a result of the continuing systematic and concerted efforts being paid to air pollution problems. Emissions in EECCA are expected to rise, with consequent worsening in air quality. Stronger efforts will be needed to achieve levels of air quality that do not pose significant threats to human health and the environment.
