Abstract
In 2004 werd een gezamenlijke meetcampagne opgezet
tussen het Duitse LUEN en het Nederlandse RIVM om een internationale
bevestiging van de meetresultaten te verkrijgen. De campagne werd
uitgevoerd op een landelijk meetpunt dichtbij Valthermond.
Dit rapport geeft de resultaten van de componenten PM10, NO, NO2, O3 en NH3
over 2004. De verschillen zijn meestal binnen aanvaardbare grenzen en
verklaarbaar. Voor O3 zijn de verschillen niet volledig verklaard. Dit is
een punt van aandacht.
Deze campagne laat op een constructieve wijze zien hoe kwaliteit en
internationale vergelijkbaarheid van de door elk instituut geproduceerde
gegevens verbeteren. De uitwisseling van ervaringen heeft een lerend
effect. Om de oorzaak en de oplossing voor de verschillen verder te
onderzoeken zal de campagne in 2005 worden voortgezet.
In 2004 a simultaneous measurement programme was set up between the German LUEN and the Dutch RIVM to obtain an international validation of the results. The programme took place at a rural station near Valthermond, in the northeast of the Netherlands. This report states the results from the calendar year 2004 for the components PM10, NO, NO2, O3 and NH3. The differences observed were mostly within acceptable limits and could be explained. However the differences for O3 cannot be fully explained and this requires further attention. The programme led to a constructive improvement in the quality of the data produced by each institute and showed us how to improve the international comparability. Further much was learned from the experiences exchanged. The programme will be continued at the Valthermond site in 2005 to investigate the underlying causes in the differences and to resolve these.
