SAAP4FUTURE will be implemented through 15 activities that can be grouped in 4 main groups –
research activities, field (sampling) activities, chemical analysis of samples,
dissemination and management activities.
The single activities are:
Activity 1
Kick-off Meeting in Kirklareli
To discuss actual work plan,
procedures, difficulties and responsibilities and to adopt the Communication Plan.

Activity 2
Project Publicity Meeting in Burgas
To promote the project to the
target groups and potential beneficiaries (local authorities, stakeholders,
general public, and mass media). More...
Activity 3
Joint assessment of air pollution
status and main anthropogenic emissions in Burgas and Kirklareli Regions
To identify main air pollution
problems in the cross border area, based on public available
monitoring data from environmental agencies/authorities of the countries and international ones.
Where possible, to collect information on the main anthropogenic sources of air pollution in the area.
Activity 4
Procurement of precipitation
sampling systems, selection of sites for field campaigns, on-site setting
To provide and install the technical
equipment necessary for the collection of wet (precipitation),
dry and bulk air pollution deposition samples at four sites in the cross border area – Burgas,
Ahtopol, Kirklareli and Pinarhisar. More...
Activity 5
Air pollution modelling
Set up of the numerical system and
simulations of pollutants concentrations and deposition
To set up and apply advanced air quality modeling systems in order to provide the
spatial distribution of main air pollutants over the cross border area in typical situations.
Activity 6
Field campaigns
for collection of samples, orientation of support personnel, exchange of samples
To set-up methodologies and program
for precipitation sampling, to organize the filed campaigns with duration up to the 10th
month of the project, to perform on-site elaboration of samples. More...
Activity 7
Chemical analysis
of the precipitation samples
To perform chemical analysis
of collected samples in highly specialized laboratories
for main cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, NH4+),
main anions (SO42-, Cl-, NO3-) and
heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, Cd, Co, Pb, Mo).
Activity 8
Midterm Project
Meeting in Ahtopol
To discuss the actual
status of project activities, the technical and financial progress, to define milestone for the next period.
More...
Activity 9
Data integration and
evaluation of all samples' analysis
To create a common database of all
collected samples in both countries and to evaluate jointly their chemical composition.
Activity 10
Elaboration of
air pollution maps for specific meteorological situation in the region
To elaborate, based
on outcome of Acitvity 5, air pollution maps for the main pollutants (SO2,
NO2, O3 and particulate matter) for typical meteorological situations in the target area.
More...
Activity 11
Joint Scientific Workshop in
Burgas - 20th and 21st of November 2014
To present study results and to
jointly analyse outcome of Activities 5, 6 and 7.
More...
Activity 12
Combined analysis
of data collected during the field campaigns and from numerical modeling
To analyse the uncertainties
inherit both in the numerical modelling and observations data of different nature
(meteorological, chemical, air quality).
Activity 13
Dissemination Activities,
Implementation of Communication and Visibility Plan Communication and Visibility Plan
To disseminate project
results to general public, local authorities and stakeholders, environmental organisations, research communities etc.
Activity 14
Project Information and
Closure Meeting/Workshop in Kirklareli
To present project outcomes both
to wider audience, as well as to experts in environmental issues in view of future cooperation
and joint management initiatives.
Activity 15
Project Management
Activities
To coordinate and manage all
the administrative and financial aspects of the project for its successful implementation.
