2 THE AIRUSE PROJECT AIMS Characterizing similarities & differences in PM sources & contributions across S-EU (5 cities) Once the main sources of PM1 and PM2.5 are identified, the strategic goal of the AIRUSE project is to develop, test and propose specific and non specific measures to abate urban ambient air PM in S.-EU, to meet AQ standards & to approach WHO guidelines. Specific PM mitigation measures Street washing & dust suppressants for road dust and deposited African dust Biomass burning Industrial emissions (channelled and fugitive) Strategies from other European countries (LEZ, eco-efficient vehicles, labelling, shipping, biomass burning )

18 B4: RECOMMENDATIONS ON BIOMASS BURNING Traditional residential combustion appliances, such as fireplaces and woodstoves, should be replaced by certified equipment rather than installing flue gas depollution technologies Emission requirements for the eco-labelling or certification of small-scale combustion appliances must be mandatory in all countries The market of firewood sales should be regulated; chemically treated material should not be allowed in any quality class of pellets; all pellets sold at the market must have quality certification. Also transport and storage should be regulated to control moisture
