| 2010-07-09 | Markku Vainio | MIKES | MIKES has extensive experience of sensitive high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Together with our REG collaborator (University of Helsinki) we have capability for cavity-ring-down (CRD) laser spectroscopy both in the near-infrared and mid-infrared. Our CRD spectrometer provides a combination of high detection sensitivity (< 1ppb for NH3), good temporal resolution (1 s) and high selectivity. We also use other highly sensitive spectroscopy techniques, such as quantum cascade lasers with multipass Herriot cells. In addition to optical methods, we do research on gas sensors based on graphene films.
MIKES plans to participate in research addressing the following objectives: 3. Achievement of significantly lower uncertainties in the measurement of chemical pollutants in air 4. Development of traceable measurement of 'challenging' chemical pollutants 5. Develop compact optical sensors and micro-sensors for monitoring ambient air pollutants |

| 2010-07-06 | Matthias Richter | BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing | BAM has great experience in measuring (V,S)VOC emissions from materials. The material testing is performed in emission test chambers with different volumes (35 mL up to 20 m³). The analytical techniques are GC/MS, GC/MS-MS, GC/FID, GC/NPD equipped with thermal desorption units or liquid injection. For the measurement of carbonyl compounds LC/DAD and LC/MS is used. For the generation of complex and stable long-term VOC gas mixtures a gas mixing system is available.
BAM plans to participate in the following objectives: 1. Development of dilution methods for preparation of gas mixtures for calibration purposes 3. Achievement of significantly lower uncertainties in the measurement of chemical pollutants in air 4. Development of traceable measurement of 'challenging' chemical pollutants |

| 2010-07-02 | Teresa Fernández | Centro Español de Metrología (CEM) | CEM has a Reference Gases Laboratory with approved CMCs for gravimetric preparation and analysis of CO, CO2, O2, C3H8, CH4, and analysis of NO and synthetic natural gas (up to 7 components). We also have set up facilities to prepare ethanol in nitrogen mixtures.
The analytical techniques currently used in the laboratory are: GC-TCD-FID, GC-HID-FID, GC-MS, FTIR and specific analysers (CO, CO2, O2, THC and NOx). We're participating in EURAMET projects, and now we're interested in these specific objectives: - Development of dilution methods for preparation of air pollutants gas mixtures for calibration purposes. - Development of traceable methods for validation of zero gas standards, based on FTIR and GC-MS meaurements. - Achieve significantly lower uncertainties in the measurement of chemical pollutants in air. - Development of traceable measurement of "challenging" gaseous pollutants. |

| 2010-07-02 | Annarita Baldan | VSL | VSL has capabilities in the preparation (gravimetric and dynamic dilution) and analysis of the chemical pollutants of the air quality directive. The preparation and analytical facilities are also suitable for PAHs and (s,v) VOCs. Further, VSL is very much interested the development of standards for zero air by use of novel spectroscopic or sample enrichment techniques. |
