BAPMAN Mission 9: Monitoring station quality control and emissions/dispersion modeling. 19-24 October 2013. Dhaka, Bangladesh. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Dauge, F.; Clemetsen, T.

The Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN) project is an institutional-building project where NILU lends the necessary Air Quality Management (AQM) tools and associated training to the Clean Air and Sustainable Environment (CASE) program at the Department of Environment (DoE). Mission 9 of the BAPMAN project occurred in Dhaka from 19-24 October 2013 where the target of the mission was to finalize Task 2 training (CAMS QA/QC), continue Task 1 training (AirQUIS emission inventory), and to upgrade the data retrieval interface for the AirQUIS server (Task 3).

Chemical speciation of fine airborne particles in Abu Dhabi. NILU OR

Hak, C.; Lopez-Aparicio, S.

PM2.5 was sampled at two urban background sites in Abu Dhabi (Khalifa in the city of Abu Dhabi and Bida Zayed) and analysed chemically for further source identification and quantification. Understanding of source contributions to PM2.5 is a prerequisite for the formulation of effective control strategies for PM2.5 emissions.
For both sites, five source factors were identified. Long-range transported aerosol is the largest contributor (~41%) to average PM2.5 mass concentrations at both sites. It gradually forms from SO2, which is possibly emitted into ambient in the Arabian Gulf area, while it is transported to the sites. Mineral dust was found to be the second most important source, contributing ~25% at both sites. It represents an ubiquitous natural contribution of mainly regional origin to particulate matter in Abu Dhabi.
Other source contributions to particle concentrations found at Khalifa identified were: local traffic (15.1%), shipping/industry (10.5%) and sea salt (4.0%). The latter is a natural contribution.
At Bida Zayed, a mixed traffic/industry factor (13.2%) was found, as well as another two factors of natural origin, explaining 11.4% and 8.7%
