How it startedHow it started• Phare Programme• Twinning Projects• Sida (Swedish International Development
and Cooperation Agency) project in Tallinn City since early 90's
What is Air Quality What is Air Quality Management?Management?
An endless loop of

Air Quality Monitoring Air Quality Monitoring EquipmentEquipment
Three new monitoring stations will measure
• SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide)
• NOX (Nitrogen Dioxides)
• O3 (Ozone)
• PM 10 / 2.5 (Particulates)
• TSP (Particulates)
• BTX (Hydrocarbons)

Meteorological EquipmentMeteorological Equipment• Three 24 meter masts
will provide input to large scale modelling• Ultrasonic
Anemometers(x, y, z) wind components
• Differential temperature
• Temperature• Humidity• Precipitation
Cooperation with EMT for meteorological equipment installations
Passive SamplersPassive Samplers• The pollutant is
transported to the sorbent by molecular diffusion
• Sampling time1 – 4 weeks
• SO2, NO2, VOC
• 145 samplers per campaign;3 campaigns nationwide
Passive Samplers CampaignsPassive Samplers Campaigns• The first measurement
campaign shows very low SO2 and NO2 values for background sites
Passive Samplers CampaignsPassive Samplers Campaigns• The first campaign
also measured NO2 in some cities.Where do you think the highest values were found in Tartu?
Air Quality Monitoring Air Quality Monitoring EquipmentEquipment
• The “active” monitoring stations will be used for more detailed measurements:* Mobile locations for various types of surveys* Hourly values* On-line quality checks
Laboratory EquipmentLaboratory Equipment• Chromato-mass
detector for organic pollution determination
• High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) and UV detector (ketones + aldehydes)
• Heavy metal detection equipment ICP (air + precipitation)
The Internet ApplicationThe Internet ApplicationThe Airviro SystemThe Airviro System
• The Internet Airviro is based on the fact that many customers, like the EERC, are looking for applications which make use of the Internet for decentralisation of work and responsibilities.
• One corner stone is that only ONE application installation is needed (in the Central Office).
• Users at the Central Offices access via the Local Area Network (LAN).
• County Offices access via the Internet utilising a standard PC and an Internet connection. No additional application/software installations are needed at the County Offices.
Ambient Air Quality DataAmbient Air Quality Data• Real time data
collection• Quality controls• Various
presentation functions under MS Windows
• Statistical functions
Emission DatabasesEmission Databases• On-line emission input
via Internet• Cooperation between
various organisational levels
• Spatial presentation functions under MS Windows
• The picture shows simulated NOX emissions from traffic in Tallinn
Air Quality ModellingAir Quality Modelling• Wind model• Langrangean /
Gaussian model• Grid model• MATCH model• Heavy gas model• Receptor model• Street canyon model• Presentation functions
under MS Windows
TrainingTraining• Target groups:
* Operators (key users)* County
Environmental Departments
* Environmental Inspectorates
• Cluster organisation• Stepwise training on the
applications• On-the-job approach• Only 360 days total project
schedule
Some experiences from other Some experiences from other AQM projectsAQM projects
• Successful projects are based on synergetic principles;i.e. if I provide information to you and you provide information to me, 1 + 1 = 3
• TTT = Things Take Time• Sharing information with the general
public and/or the media often creates some “problems” but it also creates understanding and consequently long-term improvements
Thank you for yourThank you for yourinterest!!!interest!!!
Estonia will have one of the Estonia will have one of the most modern AQM systems in most modern AQM systems in
the world next year…the world next year…
