1. EURODELTA III project: part A started in 2012 and part B in 2014
EURODELTA III Part A (campaigns): was designed to exploit and
interpret intensive measurement campaigns carried out by EMEP.
Bertrand Bessagnet
EURODELTA III Part B (trends): aims to assess the efficiency of air
pollution mitigation strategies over the past 20 years; it aims to
support the Convention on Long Range Transport of Air Pollutant, in
assessing the benefit of its main policy instrument: the Gothenburg
protocol, agreed upon in 1999 with a reference year in 1990

8. Receptor models (RM) and source-oriented models (SM)
Main goals
• contributing to the harmonization of Source Apportionment methods and tools
(development and sharing of best practices)
• contributing to the integration of source- and receptor-oriented techniques
(provide more robust and complete SA information)
• favoring the connection between SA and planning
(e.g. use of common indicators)
• 2015  May 2016
• FARM modelling system (mandatory + optional sources tracking)
