DANIDA. Air pollution in Egypt. Status after the first year of EEAA/EIMP measurements. NILU OR
Air quality in Egypt has been summarized from the first year of measurements undertaken by the EEAA/EIMP air pollution monitoring programme. Exceedances of the air quality limit values given by the Egyptian Law no. 4 have been found in several areas.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a key air quality indicator due to its adverse health impacts. Accurate PM2.5 assessment requires high-resolution (e.g., atleast 1 km) daily data, yet current methods face challenges in balancing accuracy, coverage, and resolution. Chemical transport models such as those from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) offer continuous data but their relatively coarse resolution can introduce uncertainties. Here we present a synergistic Machine Learning (ML)-based approach called S-MESH (Satellite and ML-based Estimation of Surface air quality at High resolution) for estimating daily surface PM2.5 over Europe at 1 km spatial resolution and demonstrate its performance for the years 2021 and 2022. The approach enhances and downscales the CAMS regional ensemble 24 h PM2.5 forecast by training a stacked XGBoost model against station observations, effectively integrating satellite-derived data and modeled meteorological variables. Overall, against station observations, S-MESH (mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.54 μg/m3) shows higher accuracy than the CAMS forecast (MAE of 4.18 μg/m3) and is approaching the accuracy of the CAMS regional interim reanalysis (MAE of 3.21 μg/m3), while exhibiting a significantly reduced mean bias (MB of −0.3 μg/m3 vs. −1.5 μg/m3 for the reanalysis). At the same time, S-MESH requires substantially less computational resources and processing time. At concentrations >20 μg/m3, S-MESH outperforms the reanalysis (MB of −7.3 μg/m3 and -10.3 μg/m3 respectively), and reliably captures high pollution events in both space and time. In the eastern study area, where the reanalysis often underestimates, S-MESH better captures high levels of PM2.5 mostly from residential heating. S-MESH effectively tracks day-to-day variability, with a temporal relative absolute error of 5% (reanalysis 10%). Exhibiting good performance at high pollution events coupled with its high spatial resolution and rapid estimation speed, S-MESH can be highly relevant for air quality assessments where both resolution and timeliness are critical.

CZ0049 - Activity 2. Implementation of a secondary aerosol module in the CAMx model. NILU TR
The objective of project CZ0049 is to improve the characterisation of particulate matter, especially the formation and identification of secondary particles. This report presents our achievements in Activity 2 "Implementation of a secondary aerosol module in CAMx". We have reviewed available SOA smog chamber experiments from the literature and created a new parameterisation for formation of anthropogenic secondary organic aerosols. The new parameterisation has been implemented in the chemistry transport model CAMx. A detailed description of the work, including source code implementation, is given in the report.
