Veröffentlichung Aerosol pollution maps and trends over Germany with hourly data at four rural background stations from 2009 to 2018(2020) Heintzenberg, Jost; Birmili, Wolfram; Hellack, BryanA total of 10 years of hourly aerosol and gas data at four rural German stations have been combined with hourly back trajectories to the stations and inventories of the European Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), yielding pollution maps over Germany of PM10, particle number concentrations, and equivalent black carbon (eBC). The maps reflect aerosol emissions modified with atmospheric processes during transport between sources and receptor sites. Compared to emission maps, strong western European emission centers do not dominate the downwind concentrations because their emissions are reduced by atmospheric processes on the way to the receptor area. PM10, eBC, and to some extent also particle number concentrations are rather controlled by emissions from southeastern Europe from which pollution transport often occurs under drier conditions. Newly formed particles are found in air masses from a broad sector reaching from southern Germany to western Europe, which we explain with gaseous particle precursors coming with little wet scavenging from this region. Annual emissions for 2009 of PM10, BC, SO2, and NOx were accumulated along each trajectory and compared with the corresponding measured time series. The agreement of each pair of time series was optimized by varying monthly factors and annual factors on the 2009 emissions. This approach yielded broader summer emission minima than published values that were partly displaced from the midsummer positions. The validity of connecting the ambient concentration and emission of particulate pollution was tested by calculating temporal changes in eBC for subsets of back trajectories passing over two separate prominent emission regions, region A to the northwest and B to the southeast of the measuring stations. Consistent with reported emission data the calculated emission decreases over region A are significantly stronger than over region B. © Author(s) 2020.Veröffentlichung Luftqualität 2022(Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Dauert, Ute; Feigenspan, Stefan; Hellack, Bryan; Kessinger, Susan; Minkos, Andrea; Moravek, Alexander; Richter, Simone; Wichmann-Fiebig, Marion; Deutschland. UmweltbundesamtDiese Auswertung der Luftqualität im Jahr 2022 in Deutschland basiert auf vorläufigen, noch nicht abschließend geprüften Daten aus den Luftmessnetzen der Bundesländer und des Umweltbundesamtes, Stand 31. Januar 2023. Aufgrund der umfangreichen Qualitätssicherung in den Messnetzen stehen die endgültigen Daten erst Mitte 2023 zur Verfügung. Die jetzt vorliegenden Daten lassen aber eine generelle Einschätzung des vergangenen Jahres zu. Ausgewertet werden die Schadstoffe Feinstaub (PM10 und PM2,5), Stickstoffdioxid (NO2) sowie Ozon (O3). Betrachtet werden nicht nur geltende Ziel- und Grenzwerte, sondern auch die aktuell geltenden Richtwerte der Weltgesundheitsorganisation.

Obwohl bereits erste Schritte der Vereinheitlichung gemacht sind zeigt sich ein deutlicher Normungs-, Regelungs- und Untersuchungsbedarf.

UmweltbundesamtIn preparation for the upcoming revision the German Environment Agency (UBA) from a scientific point of view has assessed the possibility to meet the proposed WHO Guidelines Levels, the applicability of improved chemical transport models and advanced monitoring methods for air quality assessment as well as concepts for a better protection of ecosystems from air pollutants. In the following we propose criteria for binding and non-binding air quality standards as well as a monitoring strategy beyond compliance checking. The considerations are based on the German situation but may be extrapolated to many other European Member States.

UmweltbundesamtThis evaluation of air quality in Germany in the year 2022 is based on preliminary data which has not yet been conclusively audited from the air monitoring networks of the federal states and the UBA, valid on 31th January 2023. Due to the comprehensive quality assurance within the monitoring networks, the final data will only be available in mid-2023. The currently available data allows for a general assessment of the past year. The following pollutants were subject to consideration: particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3). The evaluation and assessment of the air quality takes place in terms of the limit and target values as well as the air quality guideline (AQG) levels of the World Health Organization.
