What have been done? PM10 is measured by the air monitoring stations Public Health Institute measures Pb and Cd twice a year National legislation gives daily limit values only for Pb and Cd JICA have made a study and measurements on heavy metals in the air 6 Low volume samplers (LVS) and 4 High Volume Sampler (HVS) were installed in April 2005 All LVS and 3 HVS were put in function
4
Low Volume samplers
5
High Volume Samplers
6
PM10 measuring of LVS-filters Gravimetric method Different type of filters have been used Pr EN 14902:2005 document Balance-Sartorius CP2PF Equilibration of the filters is not yet provided
8
PM10 measuring of HVS-filters Gravimetric method “8x10” glass fiber filters Balance-Sartorius CP224S
10
HM analysis 12 metals are analyzed:Cd;Cu;Cr;Fe;Mg;As;V;Zn;Pb;Mn;Hg;Ni; Different methods have been used for the preparation of the filters(manuel-method proposed by JICA, microwave digestion;) No official method for the HVS and LVS filter preparation
11
ICP-MS analysis for: Cd;Cu;Cr;Fe;Mg;V;Zn;Pb;Mn;Ni; AAS analysis for As and Hg
12
Next steps Concordance table, Plan for Implementation and implementation of the forth daughter directive Update of current sub laws with 2004/107/EC directive Validation of the method for the preparation of filters with SRM(1648), inter laboratory cooperation Quality control of the ISP-MS measurements Validate data on HM in yearly report 2007 and reporting of these data towards EEA in the future Extension of the samplers network
13
Conclusions Participation on workshops, and exchange of experience Monitoring of heavy metals and PM10 is of great importance and support from the national polices is needed Training and study tours for the staff working on this field Identification and the measurement of the HM and PM10 is important for taking further actions of reducing of these chemicals from the air
