Objective
The proposed project aims to improve methods for the calculation of natural and biogenic emissionsfrom various sources and the assessment of impacts on air quality policy implementation. Airpollutants from natural und biogenic sources contribute to ambie nt air concentrations in the same wayas anthropogenic emissions, however, the knowledge about the uncertainty of current methods for theestimation of these natural and biogenic emissions is vast. At the same time, with anthropogenicemissions currently de creasing due to emission control activities in many sectors, the relative importance of other sources increases. Thus, it is essential to develop new and improve existingmethods for the quantification of emissions from natural and biogenic sources.The pro posal takes into account the latest research results on air pollutant emissions and theirimpacts, covering all relevant substances {NOX, SOX, NH3, PM, NMVOC; CH4, CO, DMS) from naturaland biogenic sources in Europe, e.g. the results from the "Nature Panel " of the EMEP/CORINAIRAtmospheric Emission Guidebook and includes anthropogenic emissions officially reported to EMEPby countries. Furthermore, the National Reports for the NEC directive for SOX, NOX, NH3 and NMVOC will be taken into account, as well as, the results of ED research project such as NOFRETETE or theresults from the EUROTRAC Subproject GENEMIS. As a major innovation, satellite data are used e.g.for the improvement of calculations from forests in general as well as forest fires in particular . In orderto assess the impacts of emissions from natural and biogenic sources on air quality policyimplementation, the project is designed to advance the current state-of-the-art in methododology forthe calculation of natural and biogenic emissions. Aft er the analysis of temporal and spatial variabilitiesand the assessment of uncertainties and sensitivities, some test cases on EU and local scale will be modelled
