UFP Monitoring Today

Ultrafine particles (UFP) are increasingly becoming the focus of air quality research, environmental monitoring, and regulatory discussions. Their small size, high concentration, and potential impact on health and the environment place special demands on measurement methods, data interpretation, and monitoring strategies.

This seminar offers a current and practical discussion on the state of UFP measurement and updates on the standardization and implementation of the new EU Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD, Directive (EU) 2024/2881). The focus will be on modern measurement techniques, new findings from ongoing research and monitoring projects, and the exchange of experiences from real-world applications. Both stationary and mobile measurement approaches will be examined. CEN-compliant SMPS system

A special highlight is once again the venue at the Taunus Observatory on the Kleiner Feldberg, which offers ideal conditions for directly linking theory, measurement practice, and real environmental conditions.
