Abstract

The effectivity of abatement strategies concerning elevated PM 10 and PM 2.5 levels in Germany have been determined by establishing detailed emission data bases reflecting the strategies, and using CTM’s to calculate the resulting concentrations up to the year 2020. The concentrations have been weighted by population density, and the uncertainty of the calculated yearly averaged concentrations have been estimated to be +/− 30%.
