logotyp MFEOGUnder the developed “Concept for modernization and optimization of atmospheric deposition measurements in Poland” implemented under the contract GIOŚ/ZP/380/2021/DMŚ/MF EEA dated 22/12/2021 for the implementation of the project “Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience” under the program “Environment, Energy and Climate Change”, area “Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation”, financed by the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, the purchase and foundation of measurement equipment has begun. The contract for “Procurement of atmospheric deposition measurement instruments” is currently being implemented, under which 14 atmospheric deposition measuring devices (wet deposition collectors) will be purchased. The delivery has been divided into two stages.

In the first stage, i.e. until June 30, 2023, 5 units of wet deposition collectors were delivered and put into operation, which were installed at the following stations:

  • Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection station in Gołuchów,
  • Integrated Monitoring of the Natural Environment stations in Granica and Szymbark,
  • Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - National Research Institute station in Lesko and Łeba.

We would like to inform you about contracts concluded for the implementation of further tasks under the project "Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience"

On 24-25 May, a workshop session was held as part of the activity  entitled “Concept for the implementation of a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) system for deposition measurements together with workshop of GIOŚ [Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection] staff”. The workshop was organised as part of the project “Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience.”  

The Norwegian delegation was led by Cristina Guerreiro, Research Director of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), who is also the project manager on the Norwegian side.

The meeting was also attended by First Deputy Chief Inspector of Environmental Protection Magda Gosk, who paid special attention to the cooperation and exchange of experience. We are strengthening further areas of air quality assessment, this time in the field of atmospheric deposition. We are convinced that the exchange of experience with our Norwegian partner will allow us to continue improving our measurement methodologies” Magda Gosk said.
