EuroAirnetDevelopment and Implementation 1996 - 2001 • Definition (goal, objectives) 1996 2. Criteria development 1996-1998 3. Visits to NRCs 1996 - 2000 4. Station selection 1997 - 2001 5. Evaluation process 1999 6. Data reporting to AIRBASE 1997 - 2001 EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE

What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? • EuroAirnet has developed in parallel with DEM/EoI • EuroAirnet criteria have put emphasis on the: • Representiveness issue • In broad terms: area, city, station selection • In detail: representativeness area • Data quality issue • Methods • QA/QC procedures EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? • 40 visits to 27 countries • Countries have considered those issues • Increased awareness (?) • Modification of networks (?) • Strengthening of QA/QC (?) EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? Some examples: • e.g. Austria, Finland, Germany, Spain : EuroAirnet is subset of EoI • e.g. Italy, Norway, UK (?) : EuroAirnet = EoI EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? Phare/accession countries: The EAN/DEM process* has resulted in: • EAN networks in 11 countries • Regular data reporting to AIRBASE using DEM * Work carried out by the ETC-Phare Topic Link EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? Continued limitations in using EAN/EoI data for European exposure assessments EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
What has been the impact of EuroAirnet? Continued limitations in using EAN/EoI data for European exposure assessments EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Future of EuroAirnet • EuroAirnet metadata into DEM(new EoI) • Local/national networks are now being modified according to requirements from AQ Directives:Updating of station metadata needed • ETC will use metadata as much as possible in annual ”AQ Europe” assessments EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Future of EuroAirnet Crucial questions: • How to improve data quality? • How to improve representativeness? • How to make AQ monitoring in Europe more cost effective? What do you see as further needs: • Further develop EuroAirnet criteria? • Continued selection/evaluation process? • Need for - follow-up from ETC? - regular reminders?

EUROAIRNET – QA/QC Criteria • Classification of QA/QC procedures • Data Quality Objectives (DQO) • Methods • Documented QA/QC plans EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
QA/QC criteria for classification and the selection ofstations accepted to be included in the EUROAIRNET EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Improving data quality • QA/QC at data provider side • QA/QC in the DEM process • QA/QC in AIRBASE EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON AIR AND CLIMATE CHANGE
