Metrology to support zero pollution from industrial emissions

• Research unit: SERI

Abstract (English)

Under the EU’s Zero Pollution action plan (targeting zero impact on health and the environment by 2050) the EU has revised the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). Key changes are an order of magnitude reduction in many pollutant emission limits, use of measurement uncertainty in assessing process plant compliance with emission limits, and greater emphasis on regulating emerging pollutants (e. g. PFAS). However, there is not in place a fit for purpose framework of formerly validated measurement methods and guidance in determining uncertainties and then using these in compliance assessment. This project will address these gaps enabling monitoring and enforcement of this important revision by the emissions community.
