Asia Center for Air Pollution

Research (ACAP), JAPAN

as

the Network Center for EANET

- Expert group meetings: 1993-1997 (4 times)

- Preparatory phase activities: 1998-2000 Started its regular phase activities in Jan. 2001 to achieve the following objectives.

to create a common understanding of the state of the acid deposition problems in East Asia;

to provide useful inputs for decision-making at local, national and regional levels aimed at preventing or reducing adverse impacts on the environment caused by acid deposition; and

to contribute to cooperation on the issues related to acid deposition among the participating countries.

In order to contribute development of international cooperative efforts for prevention or reduction of adverse environmental impacts of acid deposition, participating countries will discuss future EANET activities.

6. Other EANET activities (Research)

1. In 2013

Two researchers from:

Mongolia (Ms. Oyunchimeg Dugerjav)

Long-range transport of air pollutants related

with meteorological process in Asia

Thailand (Mr. Wan Wiriya)

Atmospheric dry and wet nitrogen deposition in Thailand

They conducted research in Oct. – Dec. 2013 at ACAP

2. In 2014

Application: 4 Application from 4 countries

(Cambodia, Mongolia, Russia, Thailand)

Researchers from Mongolia (Meteorological condition

during the highly polluted and clean days in Ulaanbaatar,

Mongolia) and Russia (Investigation of long-term change

of air pollutants concentrations in North-East Asia including

Russia using EANET monitoring data) were selected..

They will conduct their research in Oct. – Dec. 2014 at ACAP.
