WP2 – Research implementation

Objectives

The primary objective of WP2 is to perform scientific activities enabling source identification and source apportionment for sources contributing to PM pollution in Belgrade and Bor. This includes field measurements, chemical – physical – biological characterisation of PM, statistical analyses and data provision performed in line with existing international guidelines and procedures.

Description of work

In this WP, we will plan and implement the research activities. All tasks will be time-coordinated with tasks in WP1 to maximize benefits of training, and to fully internalize guidelines provided by RI-URBANs, ACTRIS-RI and COLOSSAL. The results and outcomes of all tasks (particularly, tasks 2.2-2.8), will be provided to WP3 for dissemination and scientific publication.

Task 2.1 Coordination of research plan and field campaigns, quality assurance and quality control (Leader: CSIC, participants: all).

Task 2.2. Sampling (lead: VINCA, participants: IRMB, PHIB, CSIC, NILU).

Task 2.3. Chemical characterization (lead: PHIB, participants: VINCA, IRMB, NILU)  

Task 2.4. Measurement of equivalent black carbon (eBC) (Lead: Vinca, participants: IRMB, PHIB, UNG)

Task 2.5. Measurement of particle size distribution including ultrafine particles (Lead: Vinca, participant: CSIC)

Task 2.6. Measurement of OP (Lead: Vinca, participants: IRMB, PHIB, DEAKIN, CSIC, NILU) (VINCA, IRMB, PHIB under guidance supervision of DEAKIN)

Task 2.7. Source Apportionment of atmospheric PM oxidative potential. (Lead: Vinca. Participants: all)

Task 2.8. Source apportionment of eBC and PSD (Lead: Vinca. Participants: all
