Understanding the process of setting air quality limit values and the associated compliance challenge

Jun 2, 2020

A Concawe modelling study examines how annual average PM and NO2 concentrations would vary under different emission reduction scenarios, and assesses the cost and practicability of achieving compliance with air quality limit values (AQLVs). The study highlights the...

Benzene Monitoring: Technical aspects of the OEL proposal of 0.05ppm

Mar 22, 2019

If the benzene OEL is lowered as recommended by RAC, the petroleum industry would need to consider: 1. Monitoring methods should target a lower OEL and therefore must be updated accordingly. 2. The number of samples needed for the survey will be higher. With an OEL of...

A comparison of the impacts of Euro 6 diesel passenger cars and ZEVs on urban air quality compliance

Sep 3, 2018

A Concawe study aims to determine how real-driving emissions from the latest Euro 6 diesel passenger cars will impact ambient air quality compliance under different scenarios, and compares the results with a scenario where all new passenger cars are replaced with...

Real driving emissions of Euro6 diesel passenger cars and their impact on urban air quality

May 7, 2018

Concawe commissioned two studies in 2017 to determine the expected emissions from the latest Euro6 diesel passenger cars (including Euro 6d certified since September 2017) under the new testing methodology and to understand how the emissions from these new diesel cars...

A comparison of real driving emissions from Euro 6 diesel passenger cars with zero emission vehicles and their impact on urban air quality compliance – Urban air quality study: extension I

Apr 24, 2018

Report no. 8/18: This report describes an extension to the Urban Air Quality Study commissioned by Concawe that explored how urban air quality is affected by emissions from road transport and domestic combustion. In the first report a particular focus was placed on...
