The main objectives of such measurements are to ensure that adequate information is made available on levels in urban background locations and rural background locations. That information is essential to judge the enhanced levels in more polluted areas (such as urban background locations, air pollution hotspots, industry related locations or traffic related locations), assess the possible contribution from long-range transport of pollutants, support source apportionment analysis and for the understanding of specific pollutants such as particulate matter. It is also essential for the increased use of modelling applications also in urban areas.
