CAI-Asia

• The Clean Air Initiative promotes and demonstrates innovative ways to improve the air quality of Asian Cities through sharing experiences and building partnership- Sharing knowledge and experiences on air quality

management- Capacity building- Improving policy and regulatory frameworks at the

regional level - Assisting cities in formulating and implementing

integrated air quality management systems - Piloting projects to encourage innovation

“Create an Air Quality Management Community in Asia”

The Air Quality Management Context in Asia

Page 8: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

Air Quality Management Status • Drivers: trends with respect to factors contributing to

increase/decrease in emissions• Pressure: trends with respect to emissions from different

sources• State: trends with respect to concentrations of

pollutants in the atmosphere• Impact: trends with respect to health, environmental

and economic impacts• Response: trends with respect to the development of

capacity to manage air quality– Air quality measurement capacity– Data assessment and availability– Emissions estimates– Management enabling capabilities

Although there is strong growth in motorization, the introduction of cleaner engines and fuels has slowed down the overall growth in emissions and there is considerable potential to slow down the increase in emissions from transport even further

Removal of lead from gasoline has drastically reduced lead being emitted per vehicle

Energy switch e.g Coal to natural gas has contributed to lowering SO2 emissions in urban areas in China.

Strategic Framework for Air Quality Management in Asia

Page 20: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

A Strategic Framework for AQM in Asia

Aim:

To provide a regional approach to improving urban air quality by facilitating the setting of air quality priorities and providing direction on institutional development and capacity enhancement

Page 22: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

Guide decision-makers

and stakeholders in Asia in the formulation and implementation of AQM

strategies and programmes

Provide a broad, high-level approach that is

flexible and adaptable to the needs of different

countries/cities

Highlight the most important components of

a comprehensive AQM system in a rational and

systematic manner

Strategic Framework Objectives

Page 23: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

Key Sections of the Framework1. Air Quality Policies

2. Air Quality Governance

3. Emissions

4. Air Quality Monitoring

5. Air Quality Modelling

6. Health, Environmental & Economic Risk Assessments

7. Financing of AQM

Page 24: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

SECTION OF THE SF OBJECTIVE

1Air Quality Policies

To include and/or strengthen the concept of AQM in relevant policies and legislation in cities/ countries in the region

2Air Quality Governance

To facilitate law enforcement, to inform, educate and strengthen stakeholder participation in all aspects of AQM to prevent and reduce the impacts of air pollution

3Emissions

To include and/or strengthen enforceable, affordable, sustainable and highly effective measures to assess and reduce emissions

Strategic Framework – Outline (1)

Page 25: Benchmarking Urban Air Quality Management in Asian Cities Cornie Huizenga, May Ajero and Herbert Fabian, CAI-Asia Secretariat Gary Haq, and Dieter Schwela,

SECTION OF THE SF OBJECTIVE

4Air Quality Modelling

To support and strengthen national and local air quality estimates and allow source apportionment and estimations of transboundary air pollution

5Air Quality Monitoring

To establish and/or strengthen national and local air quality monitoring programmes

6Health, Environmental and Economic Risk Assessments

To establish and/or strengthen national and local programmes which monitor health, environmental and economic impact of air pollution in an harmonized way.

Strategic Framework – Outline (2)

• Only in few cases are monitoring stations linked in a network

• Routine regulatory monitoring generally does not (yet) include ozone and PM 2.5

• QA/QC programs are not institutionalized in most cases

• A few cities have APIs, but not all publish AQ information on a regular basis. API’s in most cases do not include pollutants of concern such as PM10 or Ozone.

• Cities with API do not appear to use API as management tool, e.g. issue air quality alerts

• Comprehensive overview of air quality data in Asia is not available

• Inventories in many of the cases were conducted by outside groups: academe or consulting firms

• Level of detail/ disaggregation varies greatly

• Reliability of activity data and Emission factors used is questionable for many of the cities

• Caution in using current emission estimates as basis for policy development

• AQ ambient standards are in place and generally follow WHO guidelines

• Emission standards are in place but enforcement generally weak

• Mobile sources of pollution receive disproportionate attention compared to area sources and stationary sources.

Stage 4 – Mature capacity. AQM is increasingly comprehensive and well structured; external, donor involvement limited only to special areas; AQ levels approaching WHO guidelines as well as NAAQS; continuous AQ monitoring; development of medium-term AQM strategies; emerging emphasis on prevention of pollution; enforcement of standards becoming standard practiceStage 3 – Evolving capacity. Systematic approach to AQM being put in place, often with still extensive foreign support; AQ monitoring increasingly through continuous monitoring; air pollution levels high but stable; more structured approach to enforcement emerging.

Stage 2 – Basic capacity. Initial legislation, standards and control measures; heavy dependence on foreign support; AQ levels high and still increasing; few, often manual type stations for monitoring; often very weak AQ regulations enforcementStage 1 – Minimal capacity. No established AQM capacity; increasing air pollution levels; no comprehensive AQ legislation and standards; limited ad-hoc AQ monitoring and pollution control

AQM Management CapacityStage 5 – Excellent capacity. AQM is a routine activity; well established local institutional capacity; typically stable AQ levels and under WHO guidelines and NAAQS; strong emphasis on pollution prevention; AQ and emission standards are routinely enforced.

Conclusion• Cities with high levels of economic activity and well-

developed AQM systems tend to have better air quality than those cities with a poorly developed AQM system

• More emphasis needs to be given to the development of standard methodologies for conducting emission inventories and source apportionment studies

• The identified stages of development in terms of AQM capability can assist cities in setting priorities and developing strategies for strengthening their AQM capability

• This Benchmarking Study is a useful tool for policy-makers and AQM experts, but methodologies should be modified to adapt to the current situation and new priorities in AQM
