2. Emission-Pb

3. Emissions-Cd

4. Emissions-Hg

5. Emissions of As and Ni

6. Higher resolution emissions of HM in 10 km x10 km
Provided from the EMEP4HR project
Project took place from
Main goal developement of the EMEP model on the higher resolution, coupled with NWP Aladin to enhance national modelling capabilities
One of the tasks was the developement of the higher resolution emission inventory

7. Emissions
1x 1 km2
50x50 km2
10x10 km2

10. g/km2/y

12. Measurements National measurement network 2006-2010:
Zagreb-1, Sisak-1 and Rijeka-1 daily HM
Institute for public helth Zagreb. Rijeka and Split
daily PM10 samples (gravimetric method)
Metallic components determined by atomic absorption spectrometery
+12 new background stations with HM measurements from precipitation will be established
HM in deposited ambient dust (Bergerhoff method)-
monthly samples (Rijeka,Split, Zagreb, Našice)

13. Measurements in 2009

14. Measurements of As and Ni in PM10

15. Modelling needs The EMEP4HR –no HM
There is a need for a modelling results
In the framework of this case study better understanding of processes influencing the levels of HM concentrations in the air as well as deposition rocesses will be provided through the evaluation of emissions and measurements
