Predefined project - Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience
The Minister of Climate and Environment, supported by National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFEP&WM), as the Operator of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, informs of the conclusion of the agreement on predefined project entitled Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience.
The project is conducted by the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection
About the project
The project conducted under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Area.
The eligible costs of the project is EUR 2 M (approximately PLN 8,7 M) are financed 100% from the EEA Grants. The project is conducted with the Norwegian partner Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) who is a pioneer of research in precipitation chemistry in Europe.
The main objective of the project is to increase knowledge on harmful substances that seep into the ground with precipitation and may affect climate change and the degradation of ecosystems. The project will design and create a new system for assessing atmospheric deposition in Poland. Planned outcomes of the project include the creation of a new national system for measuring and modelling atmospheric deposition in Poland along with making the data available on a widely accessible portal.
There will be also conferences and training on methods of assessing atmospheric deposition based on Norwegian experience. Their purpose is to increase knowledge on methods of measuring and assessing atmospheric deposition. A study visit to Norway will also be held to exchange experiences.
The project agreement was signed on 3rd December 2020 and the project inauguration took place on 8th July 2021. The project will be conducted for two years.
More about the project
We encourage you to follow the website of the project Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience.
On the website of the Financial Mechanisms Office, there is an article entitled "Monitoring and assessing atmospheric deposition: the low-down on how to clean up", in which Barbara Toczko, Deputy Director of the Department of Environmental Monitoring of the Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection, as a leader of the project "Strengthening the assessment of atmospheric deposition in Poland based on Norwegian experience", presents its assumptions, goals and results. We invite you to read it.
