  1. ATMO Poitou-CharentesAir Quality Monitoring Network

  2. The french air quality monitoring network • The french ministry of ecology is responsible for the national program of air quality monitoring • Locally, the ministry entrust associations (AASQA) with air quality monitoring • 3 laboratories (Ecole des Mines de Douai, INERIS ands Laboratoire Nationale d’Essais) bring in scientific knowledge • ADEME is the technical co-ordinator and manage the national air-quality data base

  3. « AASQA », what does it mean ? The AASQA are non-profit associations under the French Law of 1901. They are formed around 4 groups of people that are involved in atmospheric pollution issues : • The representatives of the government (prefect, departmental health direction, departmental equipment direction …) • Territorial entities (local or regional representatives…) • Industrials (they pay a tax because of their atmospheric emissions) • Other members like consumer and environment associations, university, research laboratories, health professionals…)

  4. ATMO Poitou-CharentesThe french network ATMO Poitou-Charentes is a part of the French air-quality monitoring network, that includes 37 non-profits and independent associations.

  5. ATMO Poitou-Charentesour aims and missions • Monitoring air pollution all over the region • Analysing air pollution phenomenon • for better understanding • Informing in case of pollution peaks • Providing informations and • advice on air pollution

  6. ATMO Poitou-Charentesour members and team • A team of 14 people works on these topics to fulfil the network’s objectives • 67 members • Budget : 1 million euros

  7. ATMO Poitou-Charentesmonitored pollutants • Urban concern : • NOx: Nitrogen oxides • CO : Carbon monoxide • PM : particles • Industrial concern : • VOC : Volatil Organic Compounds • SO2 : sulfure dioxide • PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons ) • PCDD/F : dioxins • PM and Toxic heavy metals • Rural concern : • Pesticides • Global concern : • O3 : ozone • pollens

  8. Cartography realised with passive samplers Mobile means Atmospheric Dumping estimation Modelling ATMO Poitou-Charentesour technical and technological means 18 permanent monitoring stations over Poitou-Charentes : 24 h each day

  9. ATMO Poitou-Charentesdata diffusion • Air-quality data are public. • They can be accessed by anyone on our web site … • www.atmo-poitou-charentes.org

  10. ATMO Poitou-CharentesHistorical Background • Born in 1976 to do monitoring in the industrial area at La Rochelle • Industrial Air pollution growed down while traffic became more and more dense

  11. ATMO Poitou-CharentesHistorical Background • Air pollution monitoring network changed of place to go from industrial to urban area (1990)

  12. ATMO Poitou-CharentesHistorical Background • Nowadays, urban and industrial impacts are under control. Nevertheless, each year, studies are made about these topics. Because pollutants means in the air don’t grow down as quickly as we may expect it

  13. ATMO Poitou-CharentesHistorical Background And agricultural and “new” pollutants and interior air-quality studies take more and more place in our objectives.
