Results of the IES-ENEA implementation of the JRC-ENEA Memorandum of Understanding
This report describes the project “Aerosources” of the collaboration between ENEA and the Joint Research Centre’s Institute of Environment (IES), its status and results achieved.
An ACSM mass spectrometer capable of analysing in real-time, with a temporal resolution of 30 minutes, the non-refractory components of the fine particulate matter (<1 µm) has been used at three different sites in Italy. The ACSM provides the measurement of the main organic and inorganic chemical components (organic carbon, ammonium, sulphate, nitrate and chloride) and it has been tested if it is suitable for the determination and trend individuation of particulate matter chemical components regulated by the Air Quality Directive. Further data analysis with advanced multivariate statistics (PMF) has been applied to perform emission source identification.
The report provides a comprehensive overview and stock-taking of the project and results achieved. Secondly the editors hope to encourage all staff of both organisations to undertake further interesting projects and to share knowledge, skills, data and facilities.
