Location of EMEP sites

EMEP monitoring network for HM:

• Number of monitoring sites increased from 44 in 1990 to 66 in 2010

• Data quality is controlled by regular laboratory intercomparisons

• Significant territories in Eastern and Southern Europe remain uncovered

Monitoring of POPs within EMEPMeasurement network for POPs in 2002 and 2012

Not all considered POPs (PAHs, HCB, PCBs) are measured at the shown monitoring sites.No measurements of PCDD/F at the EMEP monitoring network.

Coverage of the EMEP domain by measurements is still incomplete.

HM and POP pollution in EECCA countries

Pollution levels:

• Relatively low reduction of HM and POP deposition in EECCA countries

• The largest decrease in the western part of the region

Data reporting in the EECCA countries:

• Low completeness of emissions reporting

• Few monitoring data are reported so far

Country-scale pollution assessmentCase studies of HM pollution in selected EMEP countries

Approach: Evaluation of pollution levels in a country with fine spatial resolution involving variety of national data

Requirements:• Detailed emissions data (fine

resolution, source categories, LPS)• Additional measurements from

national monitoring networks• Participation of national experts in

joint analysis of the results

Climate change has the potential to affect all POPs pathways in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and soil.

There is evidence that climate change phenomena, e.g., elevated temperatures and sea-ice reduction, and extreme climate events, such as forest fires, flooding and glacial melting, will remobilize POPs previously deposited in sinks, e.g., forest soils and vegetation, ocean and lake sediments and glaciers.

HCB PCB-153 23478-PeCDF B[a]P

Typical temperature range

Discussed at the review of MSCE models, Moscow, 2005

Considered in MSCE model intercomparison. Results published in [Hollander et al, 2008]

Based on a number of scientific publications (Mackay, 1992, Hinckley et al., 1990, Paasivirta et al., 1996, Harner and Bidleman, 1996, …)

Secondary emissions from media (soil, seawater) can be essentially in the gaseous form

Comparison of emission sectors

Different seasonal variations of B[a]P and PM10: concentrations of B[a]P in summer period fall 20 times in comparison with winter ones while for PM10 this drop is only 2 times (Cianelle et al., APR, 4, 2013)

Supplementary measurement data

Detailed references on PCDD/F measurements used in the EMEP reports [Shatalov et al., 2013;

Gusev et al., 2014]

Measurements of PCDD/Fs in air in remote and rural areas (2002-2011; compiled by MSC-E):

• Europe: Italy, Denmark, France, Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain [Castro-Jimenez et al., 2012;…]

• North America: the USA, Canada [Lorber et al., 2013;…]

• Southeast Asia: Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea [Chi et al., 2013;…]

• Regional POP networks (EMEP, AMAP, IADN, …)

• Global and regional POP monitoring programs (GAPS, MONET, PNA COP, …) available through GMP of Stockholm Convention

• European measurement database AirBase

STOCKHOLMCONVENTION

OSPARCOMMISSION Important to initiate formal co-operation between the

Convention and other relevant international bodies

Workshop on CLRTAP Assessment report, 2015

Page 31: Assessment of HM and POP pollution in EMEP domain Long-term trends (1990-2012) Pollution levels (2012) Transboundary transport Intercontinental transport

Possible MSC-E contribution to the Assessment Report

• Long-term changes of pollution levels of HM and POP in the EMEPdomain (special attention to EECCA countries)

• Changes of transboundary transport of anthropogenic and secondarysources in the EMEP region

• Intercontinental transport from anthropogenic and secondary sourcesoutside the EMEP region.

• Effect-related information

- Deposition to ecosystems HMs and POPs.

- Deposition of Hg to ocean fishing regions

• Cooperation with international organizations (Minamata & StockholmConventions, OSPAR HELCOM, AMAP, EU)
