  1. Air quality monitoring Air and meteorological monitoring parameters Environmental monitoring

  2. Air quality monitoring • Classification of air pollutants • Primary pollutants (emitted directly to the atmosphere) • Secondary pollutants (formed by reactions involving primary pollutants and other constituents within the atmosphere) Environmental monitoring • Classification of sources of air pollutants • Stationary sources • Mobile sources • Sources • Natural sources • Anthropogenic sources • Urban sources

  3. Air quality monitoring Primary air pollutants Environmental monitoring Secondary air pollutants are formed from sunlight that results in photochemical reactions of O2 with one or more of the primary air pollutants.

  4. Air quality monitoring Legislation regarding the concentration limits Order no. 592/2002 revized by Order 448/2007 for establishing the limit values and the evaluation methods of several primary pollutants in the environmental air (imisii) Environmental monitoring *Added by Order 448/2007

  5. Air quality monitoring Legislation regarding the concentration limits Order no. 592/2002 for establishing the limit values and the evaluation methods of several primary pollutants in the environmental air (imisii) Environmental monitoring Reference methods for concentration measurement

  7. Air quality monitoring Romanian legislation regarding the concentration limits • Order no. 462/1993 regarding emissions from stationary sources (emisii) • Refers to emissions produced by • Stationary sources • Vehicles • Infrastructures designed to transportation • Burning installations • Fuel burning • Measurements are mandatory for the installation owner. • The results are to be registered and archived by the owner. • The limits are given according to the source. • If the limits are exceeded, the polluter pays. Environmental monitoring

  10. Air quality monitoring Methods and instrumentation • Passive sampling methods • Active sampling methods • Automatic methods • Remote optical - long path analyzers Environmental monitoring • Any instrument measures 3 types of values: • Instantaneous value • TWA (Time Weighted Average) • STEL (Short Term Exposure Limits)

  11. Air quality monitoring Methods and instrumentation Gas measurement using spectroscopic methods Spectrophotometry is based on the interaction of the gas molecules with light. Environmental monitoring • Absorbtion techniques – it is measured the intensity of light after passing through a gaseous medium. Usually absorption is measured at several frequencies in order to avoid offests and interferences with other species. There are 4 principles: • Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) • Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) • Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) • Tunable Laser Diode Absorption Spectroscopy(TLDAS)

  12. Air quality monitoring Methods and instrumentation Gas measurement using spectroscopic methods Environmental monitoring • Emission techniques – excite molecules of the gas and then examine the light emitted as they return to their ground state.The signal is passed through a narrow-band filter and measured with a photomultiplier tube. • Flame photometry • Chemiluminescence • UV fluorescence
