Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

... street dust episodes and associated respiratory problems. During the project implementation, the number of days when respirable particles (PM10) exceeded the daily limit (>50 µg/m3) decreased in Helsinki’s city centre. Furthermore, the margin of particle levels exceeding the threshold on poor air quality days also declined, further indication that air quality is improving. The limit value was ...

SNOOP - Shipping-induced NOx and SOx emissions – OPerational monitoring network (SNOOP)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Based on an existing framework of ship exhaust emission estimation, SNOOP aims to take the strategic evaluation of ship emission effects to a new level by enlargement the scope from nitrogen oxides to SOx, PM, CO, CO2 emissions. The cause-effect chains are studied by monitoring ambient air quality and estimating its human health effects in harbour areas, by modelling the nitrogen input from ship e ...

From waste to traffic fuel (W-FUEL)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

In Estonia as well as in Finland there is a growing need to produce renewable traffic fuels, decrease emissions and to prevent and recycle waste. At the same time economic recession, unemployment and regional development need to be managed in both countries. Until now little progress has been reached in waste prevention allthough it has by several studies been proved to be environmentally and econ ...
