  1. IPA West Balkan support Air Quality Sarajevo, 6-7 July 2011 Air Quality in Croatia monitoring and reporting/ Croatian Environmental Agency Nina Zovko

  2. According to legalobligationmaintasks for Croatian Environment Agency – CEA (founded by the Government of the Republic of Croatia in 2002)are: • collecting and integrating environmental data on the state level • processing that data • maintaining environmental databases • monitoring the state of environment and reporting on the environment • CEA is focal point for cooperation with the EEA and EIONET The most importantduties of the Agency is to establish, develop and coordinate a unique Environmental Information System – EIS Air qualityinformationsystem – AQIS is a constituentpartofthe EIS

  3. Air Quality unit in CEA (three employees): • Data collection and processing (emission and imission) • Databases development and maintenance • Reports (annual air quality) • National List of Indicators • Reporting to EEA • Assurance of Public availability of data

  4. Air QualityInformationSystem: - database on air quality (local + statenetworks) - database on emissions of pollution from stationary sources - database on products and terminals - database on VOC emissions - database on content of VOC in certain paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products - database on legal persons performing activities air quality and emission monitoring on air pollution sources - database on critical level exceedances and measures for protection of people and the environment in such circumstances

  5. State network: • 8 automatic urban stations – residentalandindustrialareasand3 automaticstations – nearindustrialplant (cement industry) • PHARE2006 „Air QualityMonitoringand Management System” funded: 12 newstations (7 rural/ backgroundstations + 5 stationsinprotectedareas) • Since 2005 servicing, maintaning and calibration,analysis of measurement results and verification of the accuracy of measurements and dataof all stations within state network are preformed company EKONERG

  6. Localnetwork: • Countyes, City of Zagreb,cities and district(if pollution levels>LV must establish) • specialpurposeairqualitymonitoring (nearthesourceofairpollution) • establishin 10 counties and City ofZagreb(24 automaticstations & 100 samplingstations)

  7. Legal personsthatperformtheactivitiesofmonitoringairquality: • licence fromCroatianAccreditationAgency (professional and technical qualifications inaccordancewiththe HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard) • approvalfrom MEPPPC Records is publicavailable (nameandaddress, period ofvalidity,list ofactivities for which licence andapprovalhasbeenissued) • selected in a public tender, in compliance with the public procurement regulations State network-carried out by EKONEG – the energy research and environmental protection institute (from 2005) Localnetwork- PublicHealthInstitutes measure air quality in 10 counties, and Institute for medical research and occupational health (IMI) carries out these measurements for the City of Zagreb

  8. - eachyear for every station must prepareannualreporton airqualitymeasurements processeddatafrom + processeddatafrom State network (report) Localnetwork (report) Annualreport on airqualitymonitoringin Croatia - preparedbyCroatianEnvironmentalAgency (from 2005) • Total 146 stations/ 35 automatic 42 classic 69 sampling

  9. Meta information about stations (GIS) Raw data (near real time) Validated data Annualreports Data base from local and state network • SQL database, JAVA application • available on CEA's website (www.azo.hr) to general public, since2009 • upgradethedatabase for operations to complitingtheQuestionaire

  10. At the moment 6 local stations and 8 state stations are connected http://lokalnemreze.azo.hr/iszo/iskzl/

  11. Air QualityInformationSystem - AQIS Data sources: - Central state administration bodies - Bodies of local and regional self-government units - Legal persons with public authorities who are engaged in the monitoring and management of air quality - Theownerand/or useroftheautomaticairqualitymonitoringstations must ensurecontinuallytransmittedmeasureddata to AQIS

  12. The CEA regularly submits to the EEA: • Monthly ozone exceedances and Summer ozone exceedances(from2003) • NRT ozone - start thisdays (IPA 2007 TwiningLight Project Fiche: Improvingenvironmentalreportingin Croatia withAustriaEnviromnentAgency) • EoI Data on air quality measurements at monitoring stations (from2007) • from 8 stateautomatic urban stations (wewilldeliveralsodata for NOxfor 2011, anddatafrom EMEP stations Puntijarka andZavizan)

  13. Annualreport (questionaire) on airqualityassessmentandmanagement- so far wedidnotdelivered • G2G-short Programme: Towards CAFE directive implementation in Croatia, with RIVM (Netherlands) • One oftheactivitiesof G2G project is educationandtraningofthe CEA on thecontentandfulfilmentoftheQuestionaire • Emissions of pollutants into the air in the RC (LRTAP) (from2002) • preparedbyEkonerg (for 2008 and 2009 Croatia received the award for best LRTAP report among countries to10 million inhabitants)

  14. MEPPPC is responsible for air quality assessment in the entire state territory • the first preliminary air quality assessment in the Republic of Croatia was prepared by the Ministry in cooperation with Meteorological and Hydrological Service in 2007 • this document proposed the segmentation of the country into 7 zones and 6 agglomerations • The counties, the City of Zagreb, cities and municipalities carry out assessments of air pollution levels in their respective areas • If the pollution levels exceed limit values (LVs), they set up local networks for continuous monitoring of air quality in their respective areas on the basis of these assessments, taking due account of the specific local and regional conditions • coordinate all activities within the local network

  15. Republicof Croatia justprepare: • new Air ProtectionActaccordingtherequirementsof CAFE directive • newpreliminaryassessmentofairqualitywhichwillincludeanalysis for NO2, NOx, CO, O3, PM10, PM2.5 lead and benzene in a period of 5 years • on this basis will be carried out revision existing zones and agglomerations
