UNECE CONVENTION ON LONG-RANGE TRANSBOUNDARY AIR POLLUTION (LRTAP)
UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
LRTAP’s contributions to the development of Shared Environmental Information System
13th Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Geneva, 2 November 2012
List of contents
• exchange of information and reporting obligations under the Convention and its eight Protocols
• overview of air pollutant emission reporting in various MEAs
• emission data flow
• examples of reported data on effects (vegetation, integrated modelling, forests)
Exchange of information and reporting obligations under the
Convention and its eight Protocols
• monitoring of ambient concentrations of air pollutants (collection of data at EMEP monitoring stations)
• assessment of air pollutant emissions – national totals and spatially disaggregated (gridded emissions and Large Point Source emissions
• assessment of damage caused by air pollutants to ecosystems, materials and human health
• development of cost-effective measures and best available techniques (BATs) to reduce emissions
• development of best policies and strategies to reduce air pollution including development of air quality management systems;
• …
Overview of air pollutant emission reporting in various MEAs
• ECE LRTAP Convention (21 pollutants: acidifying, ozone precursors, particulate matter, heavy metals, persistent organic compounds);
• 8 protocols • UNFCCC (GHGs: CO2, N2O, CH4, F-gases)
• Kyoto protocol• Montreal protocol – Ozone depleting pollutants • Aarhus Convention -
• E-PRTR protocol – industrial point sources – 91 pollutants•…….
• EIONET framework (EEA) – annual priority data flows

International Cooperative Programme (ICP) on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural
Vegetation and Crops ICP Vegetation objectives are to evaluate the effects of air
pollutants, identify realistic dose-response functions, validate and substantiate critical levels of ozone for crops and non-wood plants, facilitate the production of European ozone exceedance maps.
Its Programme Centre is with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Bangor, United Kingdom

Participation
• 35 countries in the ECE region + South Africa
• EECCA: Belarus, RussianFederation, Ukraine

ICP VEGETATION
International Cooperative Programme on Integrated Monitoring of Air Pollution
Effects on Ecosystems ICP Integrated Monitoring is to determine and predict of the state of
ecosystems (or catchments) and their changes from a long-term perspective with respect to the regional variation and effect of air pollutants, especially nitrogen, sulphur, ozone, and metals, and including effects on biota.
Its Programme Centre is with the Finnish Environment Institute, Helsinki.

International Cooperative Programme on on Assessment and Monitoring of Air
Pollution Effects on Forests ICP Forests mandate is to monitor effects of air pollution as well as
other anthropogenic and natural stress factors on the condition and development of forests in Europe and to contribute to a better understanding of cause-effect relationships in forest ecosystem functioning in various parts of Europe.
Its Programme Centre is with the Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products, in Hamburg,
