Towards a harmonized approach for atmospheric monitoring of Chemicals of Emerging Concern (CECs)

8-10 November 2023 at NILU, Kjeller, Norway.

The overall aim of this workshop was to recommend approaches for sampling and analysis of CECs to support the needs of EMEP and harmonized with other regional and global monitoring programmes. Experts shared experiences of measuring CEC, the current scientific knowledge and gaps. Challenges and recommendations regarding various aspect in the sampling chain and in the analyis was discissed.
