An ambient air pollution screening study was performed in Dhaka from 31 January - 15 February 2011. The main objective of the study was to gain an overview of the background concentrations and the spatial distribution of the air pollution in the Dhaka city area. Thorough ambient air quality data has not been collected in the city for some years. Results show relatively high concentrations for SO2, NO2, and O3, with PM concentrations alarmingly high. PM concentrations could be attributed to local sources (predominantly brick Kilns and traffic), as well as regional influences (haze clouds) during the winter season which were compared to satellite AOD data.

The objective of the training workshop for Work segment 4 in the "Bangladesh Air Pollution Management" BAPMAN project, is to build local (DOE) capacity for developing an air quality management strategy for the future.
The training workshop was held at NILU, being presented by NILU air quality experts.
The purposes of the workshop were to produce information on the health consequences of air pollution in Dhaka that can be used by local expertise at DOE and in supporting Bangladeshi institutions in the assessment of health impacts. The workshop aimed at developing the fundamental expertise by which objectives and strategies for air quality management can be developed into the future.

Bangladesh Air Pollution Studies (BAPS): Task 5 (Industrial emission estimates). Final report. NILU OR
As part of the Bangladesh Air Pollution Studies (BAPS) under Clean Air & Sustainable Environment Project (CASE), stack emission measurements were made on several days at a steel mill and a ceramic industry, both located in the outskirts of Dhaka city. The measurements were made by ChE-BUET Team of the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), Dhaka. The team has access to all the sophisticated equipment and expertise for emission measurements at industrial stacks. All equipment used were calibrated as per manufacturers' instructions. USEPA/ASTM approved methods were followed for all measurements.

BAPMAN Mission 4: Project planning and further AQ screening. 18-23 February 2012, Dhaka, Bangladesh. NILU OR
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 4 of the BAPMAN project occurred in Dhaka from 18-23 February 2012 where the target of the mission was to hold project planning meetings for administration of the project and to establish future missions to Dhaka and trainings at NILU in Norway, especially for the beginning of Task 2 (CAMS training). In addition, field data was collected on PM levels, traffic density flow estimates, and SO2 concentrations from select brick kilns using a UV camera.

The Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN) project is an institutional-capacity building program where NILU lends the necessary Air Quality Management (AQM) tools and associated training to the Clean Air and Sustainable Environment (CASE) program at the Bangladesh Department of Environment (DoE). The last training seminar of the project was entitled "Advanced Air Quality Management and Health Impacts" and occurred at NILU from 25- 29 November 2013 as a part of the BAPMAN project. The seminar included three workshops: 1. Emissions - Improved competence with emissions inventories through completion of the emissions/dispersion exercise for brick kilns in Dhaka and write report based on findings; finalized top-down emissions report at national level for Bangladesh. 2. Monitoring Data - Advanced understanding of QC of monitoring data through preparation of monthly and annual reports for the data. 3. Health Impacts - Improved capacity in health impact assessment through completion of health impact exercise of PM exposure in Dhaka city and write report based on findings.

BAPMAN Training Seminar: Advanced air quality management and health impacts. 25 - 30 August 2013. NILU OR
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). The fourth training seminar at NILU for the BAPMAN project occurred in Kjeller, Norway from 25 - 30 August 2013. The seminar contained the following 2 workshops and accompanying goals. 1) Air Quality Management: reviewing AirQUIS and local progress; monitoring data statistics and reporting; emissions/dispersion exercise for Dhaka brick kilns, and scenario-building for future mitigation options; compiling draft reports based on monitoring data and emissions exercise. 2) Health Impacts: understanding health end-points (using Dhaka health data as case example); simple scenario building for effects of potential changes in future concentrations; compiling draft simple report/memo for basic health impacts from PM in Dhaka.

BASELINE ambient air quality monitoring at KPIZ, Abu Dhabi. NILU OR
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) is a master developer and regulator of ports in Abu Dhabi Emirate. The development of Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone (KPIZ) is one of the major strategic projects undertaken by ADPC. The KPIZ is located at Al Taweelah, midway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi City.
The survey aims to establish background AAQ levels at the project site and to compare the measured data with pertinent ambient air quality standards.
This report provides a summary of ambient air quality and meteorological measurements carried out during the 6 month period 24 August 2010 to 24 February 2011 which is referred to as Report No. 6.
