14:45 - 15:15 - Local air pollution: the challenge of ultrafine particulate matter
Synopsis: An introduction to the Copenhagen Airports Air Quality Programme with special attention to ultrafine particulate matter (UFP). Ultrafine particles are particulate matter of nanoscale size (less than 100 nanometres in diameter). Why does CPH fight UFPs when regulations do not exist for this size class of ambient air pollution particles? The presentation will summarise the actions to fight UFP.
