Abstract :
Particulate matter ŽPM. monitoring presents a new challenge to the transboundary air pollution strategies in
Europe. Evidence for the role of long-range transport of particulate matter and its significant association with a wide
range of adverse health effects has urged for the inclusion of particulate matter within the European Monitoring and
Evaluation Programme ŽEMEP. framework. Here we review available data on PM physico-chemical characteristics
within the EMEP framework. In addition we identify future research needs for the characterisation of the
background PM in Europe that include detailed harmonised measurements of mass, size and chemical composition
Žmass closure. of the ambient aerosol.
