What Will Changes in Emission Legislation Mean for the Pollution Monitoring Industry?

The international community is currently working to improve the co-ordination between monitoring systems and the legislation they support - for example, the EU aims to improve the alignment between the Large

Combustion Plant Directive and the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive. But CEM, the International Conference on Emissions Monitoring, has grown in strength and popularity since its inaugural meeting in 1997. CEM 2009 will continue this position as the major international conference and exhibition specifically designed to cover the subject of source emissions monitoring in its entirety.

CEM2009 includes 5 sessions:

1.Emission factors and inventories - looking at the challenges of providing accurate data to meet national and national requirements

2.Certification and accreditation - these systems are shifting from being something desirable to something almost mandatory in many areas

3.PM10/2.5 - fine particles are possibly the greatest challenge to many countries at the moment with many EU member states and individual states in the USA facing the fact that they cannot comply with the tightening air

quality standards without a better understanding of the speciation

4.Advanced techniques - as legislation calls for increased accuracy despite decreasing concentrations, advanced techniques offer a solution to this challenge

5.Case studies of standards in practice - just how easy it is to use CEN/ISO standards in the real world?

The conference programme is only one part of the CEM2009 experience. The posters and extensive exhibition offer delegates the chance to chat and interact with those who may be able to answer the very questions that would solve the challenges they face. The social agenda is designed to maximise the time delegates have free to ask awkward questions, handle equipment and to relax into the extended network of the now well established CEM-community. And where better to do that than on the beautiful shores of Lake Maggiore. For more information please visit www.cem.uk.com
