We are at European Geosciences Union from RI-URBANS & Project FOCI to present our latest results on Black & Brown Carbon and organic aerosol light absorption in Europe. Follow our talks on Tuesday and Thursday on this week of full science #EGU24 Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research

This week, we are in 14th International Conference on Air Quality in Kumpula, Helsinki. I'll have a talk today on the use of Machine learning models for black carbon concentration in Europe. Join us if you're at University of Helsinki. RI-URBANS Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research

Today our work was perfectly presented by Olivier Favez from Ineris at #ACTRIS Science Conference 2024 #ASC24 in Rennes, France based on our latest results in RI-URBANS ACTRIS Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research #blackcarbon #Filterabsorptionphotometers

📊 We will present how to implement harmonized protocols for black carbon measurements ACTRIS RI-URBANS

And some of the final oral presentations of today: "Ultrafine Particles in Urban Europe" by M. Garcia "eBC Concentration in Urban Europe" by A. Alastuey Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research RI-URBANS "Biorelevant Soluble Trace Metals in the Atmospheric Aerosols" by I. Belbachir from @IPNA_CSIC

🚨NEW PAPER! A clear gap in the performance of buildings has been attributed to the adoption of advanced technologies. It's required to identify & address the challenges that compromise core objectives of BEMS doi.org/10.1007/s12053…

Great thanks to my colleague @JeanEudesPetit for presenting the results of our work on the advantages and limitations of using Aethalometer data to determine the optimal Absorption Angstrom Exponents for eBC source apportionment at #EAC2024 RI-URBANS ACTRIS Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research

Almost done with the first day of the 3rd RI-URBANS science meeting at Helsinki. We presented the results of the completed tasks on black carbon harmonization and source apportionment within WP1 thanks to all collaborators.

✨️Day 2 of the 3rd RI-URBANS Science Meeting was a success! We delved into the guidelines and explored service tools developed through RI-URBANS project. Exciting discussions and valuable insights as we move forward...

A great day for RI-URBANS Air quality: Council gives final green light to strengthen standards in the EU europa.eu/!dDykXC

Great day at yesterday’s webinar organized by ATMO ACCESS and RI-URBANS! Engaging discussions, valuable feedback, and an insightful presentation by Dr. Marco Pandolfi from Inst. of Environmental Assessment & Water Research on black carbon guidance, monitoring. A big thank all stakeholders for their participation!

📊Yesterday, we attended the WeBaSOOP project's workshop to present the BC guidance and discuss its added value for project partners. Great discussions and collaboration all around! 🌍💬 RI-URBANS

🎥New videos alert! @ATMO_ACCESS and RI-URBANS are excited to share their latest videos of the webinars "How to implement the revised European Union ambient air quality directive?" Click the link below to watch the videos!👇 youtube.com/@ATMOACCESS/pl… #EUgreendeal #airquality

The new European Air Quality Directive (2024/2881) is published! It also introduces a network of AQ supersites to monitor advanced air quality parameters, aligning with recommendations from RI-URBANS. check out the new #AQDirective here: 🔗eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/2…
