This project is now part of the project: Acidifying and Eutrophifying Substances in Air and Precipitation
National Environmental Monitoring Programme. National Environmental Monitoring Programme. The PMK Network is part of the national network for deposition measurements. The aim is (i) a long-term monitoring of concentration and deposition of selected air transported compounds caused acidification and eutrophication in different parts of Sweden; (ii) to generate knowledge about long-term variation in the field deposition, (iii) to give the background data from low polluted areas for calculation of pollutants deposition in more polluted areas the monitoring of pollutants in air and precipitations are proceed. Ozon and air samples for analysis of sulphur and nitrogen compounds, HCl as well as basic metal ions (Na, K, Ca, Mg, are taken on a monthly basis in air and precipitation. Ozone, as well as sulphur and the nitrogen compound particles are measured in air, and sulphur and nitrogen compounds, base cations, pH and electro-conductivity in precipitation.

All analyses are performed at the accredited laboratory at IVL according to EMEPs recommendation. All analyses are performed at the accredited laboratory at IVL according to EMEPs recommendation. Air chemistry sampling are proceed with diffusion sampler, precipitation chemistry and metals in precipitation are determined with open sampler method. The programme includes weekly sampling of sulphur- and nitrogen compounds and HCl,as well as metals (Na, K, Ca; Mg) in air. Hourly registraion of ozone levels and sampling of precipitation for analysis of major inorganic components on a weekly basis are proceed.

The precipitation chemistry network consists of approximately 25 stations in rural areas throughout the country (of these 8 stations are at present within or very close to the AMAP area). Monthly sampling of precipitation for analysis of major inorganic compounds is performed at all of the stations. Monitoring of substances in precipitation have proceeded since 1983 and in air since 1994 at monitoring stations across the country. There are currently sixteen monitoring sites for precipitation and eight for air. Measurements have previously been made at a further ten stations (including the stations in the AMAP-area).
