1 1 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz Berlin s Air Quality Strategy: measures and expected effects Martin Lutz Senate Department for Urban Development, Berlin Directorate IX, Environment Policy brief recap: problems, origin, sources expected benefit of a trend scenario additional measures and their impact

2 2 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz assessment of the air quality in Berlin summary on sulfur dioxide: on lead: on carbon monoxide on benzene on nitrogen dioxide on PM 10 on ozone no problem no problem no problem diminishing problem serious problem 10 severe problem, to be tackled on local and European level serious problem serious problem, to be tackled mainly on a European level

3 3 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz Comparison of PM10-pollution in European cities EU-limit value Barcelona Berlin Dresden Frankfurt Graz Hamburg Klagenfurt Leipzig Linz Lissabon London Lyon-Agglomeration Madrid Mannheim Milan München Rhein-/Ruhr Area Riga Rotterdam Stockholm Villach Wien days above 50 µg/m3 PM10 Quelle: ICLEI 2004

4 4 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz Air pollution control planning Structural template Following annex IV of the FW Directive assessment of the air pollution Compliance check, trends source analysis Where does it come from & how much? scales: local, urban, regional, continental Who s to blame & for how much? source sectors: transport, industry, domestic, current legislation and it s likely impact includes effects of national and EU-wide measures Additional measures planned & their likely effect Will the limit values be met? Further possible long-term measures & their benefits

5 5 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz Source analysis Simplified schematic of the PM pollution Urban areas countryside 40 Traffic, local sources PM [µg/m³] urban background regional background hemisspheric/natural background

6 source attribution Sectors contributing to total PM10 at a busy traffic spot in Berlin... traffic exhaust 9% road traffic nonexhaust 1% domestic heating & solvents 9% other 2% agriculture 4% regional background # Industry & power plants 22% #based on values recorded at the top of a radio tower 324m above ground Industry & power plants 3% road traffic exhaust 11% local traffic other 3% domestic heating & solvents 3% traffic non-exhaust 15% urban background non-exhaust traffic exhaust 10% road traffic nonexhaust 7% exhaust cars non-exhaust HDV&LDV exhaust Institut für Energie- und Umwelttechnik e.v. 6 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz

7 7 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz source attribution Sectors contributing to total NO 2 at a busy traffic spot in Berlin... regional background ca 7% other sources 7% local traffic 54% urban background traffic 32% Basis: NOx modelling

8 8 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz source analysis interim conclusion regional PM10 background is around half of kerbside levels motor traffic is the predominant source of PM pollution 20% of regional PM10 background can be attributed to traffic exhaust emissions, but the bulk is secondary PM from industry & power plants more than half of traffic related PM10 stems from road&tire abrasion and resuspension of road dust HDV & LDV emissions of particular importance NO 2 regional background usually less than 10 %

Lutz Likely trend of regional PM 10 background impact of a trend - scenario on regional PM 10 & NO 2 background around Berlin NO 2 : predicted 15-28% reduction, we need > 30% PM10: predicted 8-16% reduction, we need > 25% by 2005!!

16 16 Unit IX D: air pollution and noise control, M. Lutz trend scenario 2010 interim conclusion similar relative improvement of PM10 pollution in and around Berlin envisaged improvement through business as usual measures not sufficient to meet NO2 limit values by 2010 annual PM10 limit value can be attained 24h-limit value for PM10 won t be met by business as usual even in 2010 additional measures necessary to curb PM10 und NO2 emissions! city-wide non-attainment needs city-wide action

Lutz Air pollution control planning stationary sources BAT and more. transport: Options for additional measures cleaner vehicles and fuels municipal car fleet (CRT retrofit & CNG) LEZ (low emission zone) less traffic through sustainable transport- and city planning (master plan transport, StEP ), inter alia. re-routing routing through traffic on tangential roads extension of zones with parking fees expected effect: ~ 10% traffic reduction in Berlin s centre Optimized traffic management at hot spots ( ( HEAVEN) linked with noise abatement Speed limits big effect on noise and safety little effect on air quality
