WeBaSOOP aims to increase competencies, skills and scientific recognition of the partners, and of VINCA, IRMB and PHIB in particular by adding value to novel research in air quality monitoring and assessment and source apportionment modelling through a set of activities:
- leading to joint publications,
- joint submission of proposals for future funding,
- exchange of researchers and/or students for short-term visits, organization of and participation in workshops and international conferences
The project will work to provide actionable health relevant knowledge on ambient particulate matter. WeBaSOOP aims to reduce or close knowledge gaps on the following aspects:
- Adoption of on-line and off-line monitoring of particle size distribution and of black carbon in an urban area (Belgrade) and in a hot spot urban-industrial area (Bor) of the Western Balkan
- Adoption of monitoring and measurement methods for comprehensive chemical characterization of PM
- Adoption of methods for assessment of OP of PM
- Generation of comprehensive data on PM in an area that is not covered in current European infrastructures.
