Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of Committee, the Economic and Social Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions, Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty, Whereas: (5) Directive 96/62/EC requires limit and/or target values to be set for ozone. In view of the transboundary nature of ozone, target values should be set for the protection of human health and for the protection of vegetation. Those should relate to the interim objectives target values derived from the Community to combat tropospheric ozone. strategy (6) Directive 96/62/EC requires action to be taken in respect of zones and agglomerations within which ozone concen- trations exceed target values in order to ensure that target values are met as far as possible by the date specified. to a large extent Such action will to control in accordance with implemented to be measures relevant Community legislation. refer the the Governments of (1) On the basis of principles enshrined in Article 174 of the Fifth Environmental Action Programme Treaty, the Council and the approved by the Resolution of Representatives of the Member States meeting within the Council of 1 February 1993 on a European Commnity programme of policy and action in relation to the environment and sustainable development (1) envisages in particular amendments to existing said air programme recommends the establishment of long-term air quality objectives. pollutants. legislation The on (2) Pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Directive 96/62/EC of 27 September 1996 on ambient air quality assessment and management (2), the Council is to adopt the legis- lation provided for in paragraph 1 and the provisions laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the same Article. (3) It is important to ensure effective protection against effects on human health from exposure to ozone. The adverse effects of ozone on vegetation, ecosystems and the environment as a whole should be reduced, as far as possible. The transboundary nature of ozone requires action to be taken at Community level. (4) Directive 96/62/EC provides that numerical thresholds are to be based on the findings of work carried out by inter- field. The national Commission is recent and scientific environmental fields concerned and of the most recent the most epidemiological to take account of scientific groups research data in the in the active (1) OJ C 318, 17. 5. 1993, p. 1.

Local measures should not be required where examination of benefits and costs shows them to be disproportionate. to be implemented if (8) Long-term objectives should be set with the aim of providing effective protection of human health and the environment. Long-term objectives should relate to the ozone strategy and its aim of closing the gap between current ozone levels and the long-term objective as far as possible. (9) Measurements should be mandatory in zones with exceedances of the long-term objectives. Supplementary means of assessment and collocated measurements of nitrogen dioxide may reduce the required number of sampling points. (10) An alert threshold for ozone should be set the protection of the general population. An information threshold should be set as an alert threshold to protect sensitive sectors of the population. Up-to-date information on concentrations of ozone in ambient air should be readily available to the public. for (11) Short-term action plans should be drawn up where the risk of exceedances of the alert threshold can be reduced significantly. The potential reducing the number, duration and severity of exceedances should be inves- tigated and assessed. for 29. 2. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 56 E/41 (12) The transboundary nature of ozone pollution may require certain coordination between neighbouring Member States in drawing up and implementing action plans and in informing the public.

(c) to ensure that adequate information is obtained on ambient levels of ozone and that it is made available to the public; (14) The Commission should review the provisions of recent the most this Directive in the light of scientific research concerning in particular the effects of ozone on human health and the environment. Such review should be part of an integrated air quality strategy designed to review and if necessary revise Community including those for acidification air quality objectives, and include That eutrophication. measures to reduce emissions across all sources, taking feasibility and cost-effectiveness, into account in order to ensure achievement of those objectives.

For rural and rural background stations, consideration should be given, where appropriate, to coordination with the monitoring requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1091/94 concerning protection of the Community’s forests against atmospheric pollution (1). (1) OJ L 125, 18. 5. 1994, p. 1. 29. 2. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 56 E/51 II. Microscale siting The following guidelines should be followed, as far as practicable: 1. The flow around the inlet sampling probe should be unrestricted (free in an arc if at least 270(cid:176)) without any obstructions affecting the air flow in the vicinity of the sampler, i. e. away from buildings, balconies, trees, and other obstacles by more than twice the height the obstacle protrudes above the sampler. 2. In general, the inlet sampling point should be between 1,5 m (the breathing zone) and 4 m above the ground. Higher positions are possible for urban stations in some circumstances and in wooded areas. 3. The inlet probe should be positioned well away from such sources as furnaces and incineration flues and more than 10 m from the nearest road, with distance increasing as a function of traffic intensity. 4. The sampler’s exhaust outlet should be positioned so as to avoid re-circulation of exhaust air to the sampler inlet. The following factors may also be taken into account: 1. interfering sources; 2. security; 3. access; 4. availability of electrical power and telephone communications; 5. visibility of the site in relation to its surroundings; 6. safety of public and operators; 7. the desirability of collocating sampling points for different pollutants; 8. planning requirements. III. Documentation and review of site selection Site selection procedures should be fully documented at the classification stage by such means as compass point photographs of the surroundings and a detailed map. Sites should be reviewed at regular intervals with repeated documentation to ensure that selection criteria are still being met. This requires proper screening and interpretation of the monitoring data in the context of the meteorological and photochemical processes affecting the ozone concentrations measured at the respective site. C 56 E/52 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29. 2. 2000 ANNEX V CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF SAMPLING POINTS FOR FIXED MEASUREMENT OF CONCENTRATIONS OF OZONE AND RELEVANT PRECURSOR SUBSTANCES I. Minimum number of sampling points for fixed continuous measurements to assess compliance with the target values, long-term objectives and information and alert thresholds where continuous measurement is the sole source of information rural background 1 station/ 50 000 (1) km2 as an average density over all zones per country Population ((cid:215) 1 000) < 250 < 500 < 1 000 < 1 500 < 2 000 < 2 750 < 3 750 > 3 750 Agglomerations Other zones urban suburban suburban rural 1 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 3 3 4 1 additional station per 2 million inhabitants 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 5 7 1 additional station per 0,5 million inhabitants (1) 1 station per 25 000 km2 for complex terrain in regions below 55(cid:176) N latitude. II. Minimum number of sampling points for fixed measurements for zones and agglomerations attaining the long-term objectives The number of sampling points for ozone must, in combination with other means of supplementary assessment such as air quality modelling and collocated nitrogen dioxide measurements, be sufficient to examine the trend of ozone pollution and check compliance with the long-term objectives. The number of stations located in suburban areas of agglomerations and in rural areas around agglomerations may be reduced to one-third of the number specified in Section I. If the result of this is that a zone has no remaining station, coordination with the number of stations in neighbouring zones must ensure adequate assessment of ozone concentrations against long-term objectives. The number of rural background stations should be 1 per 100 000 km2. 29. 2. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 56 E/53 ANNEX VI MEASUREMENTS OF OZONE PRECURSOR SUBSTANCES Objectives The main objectives of such measurements are to analyse any trend in ozone precursors, to check the efficiency of emission reduction strategies, to check the consistency of emission inventories and to help attribute emission sources to pollution concentration. An additional aim is to support the understanding of ozone formation and precursor dispersion processes, as well as the application of photochemical models. Substances Measurement of ozone precursor substances must include at least nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and appropriate volatile organic compounds (VOC). A list of volatile organic compounds recommended for measurement is given below. Methane Ethane Ethylene Acetylene Propane Propene n-Butane i-Butane 1-Butene trans-2-Butene cis-2-Butene 1,3-Butadiene n-Pentane i-Pentane 1-Pentene 2-Pentene Isoprene n-Hexane i-Hexene n-Heptane n-Octane i-Octane Benzene Toluene Ethyl benzene m+p-Xylene o-Xylene 1,2,4-Trimeth. Benzene 1,2,3-Trimeth. Benzene 1,3,5-Trimeth. Benzene Fomaldehyde Total non-methane Hydro- carbons Reference methods The reference method specified in Directive 85/203/EEC or in subsequent Community legislation will apply for nitrogen oxides. The method to be specified in future legislation pursuant to Directive 96/62/EC is to be used for carbon monoxide once it has entered into force. Each Member State must inform the Commission of the methods it uses to sample and measure VOC. The Commission must carry out intercomparison exercises as soon as possible and investigate the potential for defining reference to improve the comparability and precision of methods measurements for the review of this Directive in accordance with Article 11. sampling and measurement for precursor in order Siting Measurements should be taken in particular in urban and suburban areas at any monitoring site set up in accordance with the requirements of Directive 96/62/EC and considered appropriate with regard to the above monitoring objec- tives. C 56 E/54 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29. 2. 2000 ANNEX VII DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES AND COMPILATION OF THE RESULTS OF AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT I. Data quality objectives The following data quality objectives are proposed to ensure the requisite accuracy assessment methods: Continuous measurement Accuracy of individual measurements 15 % For ozone, NO and NO2 Minimum data capture Indicative measurement Accuracy of individual measurements Minimum data capture Minimum time coverage Modelling Accuracy 1 h averages (daytime) 8 h daily maximum Objective estimation Accuracy 90 % during summer 75 % during winter 30 % 90 % > 10 % during summer period 50 % 50 % 75 % Accuracy of measurement has the definition given in the (cid:145)Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty of Measurements(cid:146) (ISO 1993), or in ISO 5725-1 (cid:145)Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results(cid:146) (1994). The percentages in the table are given for individual measurements, averaged over the period for calculating target values and long-term objectives, for a 95 % confidence interval. The accuracy for continuous measurements should be interpreted as being applicable in the region of the concentration used for the appropriate threshold. The accuracy for modelling and objective estimation is defined as the maximum deviation of the measured and calculated concentration levels, over the period for calculating the appropriate threshold, without taking into account the timing of the events. Time coverage is defined as the percentage of the time considered for setting the threshold value during which the pollutant is measured. Data capture is defined as the percentage of the time of measurement during which the instrument produced valid data. The requirements for minimum data capture and time coverage do not include losses of data due to the regular calibration or normal maintenance of the instrumentation. II. Results of air quality assessment The following information should be compiled for zones or agglomerations within which sources other than measurement are employed to supplement information from measurement: (cid:151) A description of the assessment activities carried out; (cid:151) Specific methods used, with references to descriptions of the method; (cid:151) Sources of data and information; (cid:151) A description of results, including accuracies and, in particular, the extent of any area within the zone or agglomeration over which concentrations exceed long-term objectives of target values; (cid:151) For long-term objectives or target values whose object is the protection of human health, the population potentially exposed to concentrations in excess of the threshold. 29. 2. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 56 E/55 Where possible, Member States should compile maps showing concentration distributions within each zone and agglomeration. III. Standardisation For ozone the volume must be standardised at the following conditions of temperature and pressure: 293 K, 101. 3 kPa. For nitrogen oxides in subsequent Community legislation will apply. the standardisation specified in Directive 85/203/EEC or REFERENCE METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF OZONE AND CALIBRATION OF OZONE INSTRUMENTS ANNEX VIII I. Reference method for analysis of ozone and calibration of ozone instruments (cid:151) Analysis method: UV photometric method (ISO FDIS 13964) (cid:151) Calibration method: Reference UV-photometer (ISO FDIS 13964, VDI 2468, Bl. 6) This method is being standardised by the CEN (1). Once the latter has published the relevant standard, the method and techniques described therein will constitute the reference and calibration method in this Directive. Member States may use any other method for analysing ozone which they can demonstrate as giving equivalent results to the above method. II. Reference modelling technique for ozone Reference modelling techniques cannot be specified at present. Any amendments to adapt this point to scientific and technical progress will be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12(2) of Directive 96/62/EC.
