Hence, it is important to follow the progress of the measures with suitable indicators that relate more directly to the measure Examples of indicators are: - have the planned parking fees been implemented [y/n] and to what extent [number of parking places affected]; - has the planned permit revision been implemented [y/n]; - how much has the traffic volume on a road gone down [% heavy duty vehicles]. -- Name -- air quality directive source apportionment -- Definition -- Where the exceedance situation covers a distinct geographical area (as opposed to a point exceedance at a monitoring site) the source apportionment in the exceedance area at the location of highest measured or modelled concentration should be given. -- Name -- inspireId -- Definition -- A Unique identifier for the source apportionment dataset provided here. -- Description -- An external object identifier is a unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external applications to reference the spatial object. -- Name -- reference year -- Definition -- Reference year for which source apportionment has been applied -- Name -- regional background -- Definition -- Regional background - Split of total regional background in µg/m³ The regional background level is the concentration of pollutants on a spatial scale of more than about 30 km. It comprises contributions from outside the exceedance area, but also from sources within the exceedance area. The regional backbground has to be split, if appropriate data are available, into contributions from within the MS affected and transboundary contributions. -- Name -- urban background -- Definition -- Estimate of split for urban increment in µg/m³ The urban background level represents the concentrations within towns or agglomerations, wich are determined by the total emissions of the town or agglomerations, but not directly by local emissions. -- Name -- local increment -- Definition -- Estimate of split for local increment in µg/m³ The local increment identifies contributions from sources in the immediate vicinity. The local increment can be estimated as the difference between the concentration measured or modelled at the location of exceedance and the urban background level. -- Name -- macro exceedance situation -- Definition -- An exceedance description for all exceedance situations (instances) in a zone with similar source apportionment. i.e. exceedance arising from similar emissions sectors or groups of emissions sectors -- Name -- comment -- Definition -- Comments on clarification, e.g. information on primary NO2 -- Name -- urban background -- Definition -- Estimate of split for urban increment (which is the urban background minus the regional background) in µg/m³. The urban background level represents the concentrations within towns or agglomerations, which are determined by the total emissions of the town or agglomerations, but not directly by local emissions. -- Name -- total -- Definition -- To be provided in µg/m³ -- Name -- traffic -- Definition -- Road traffic emissions only (excludes emissions from off road mobile machinery) -- Name -- heat and power production -- Definition -- Emissions arising directly from industrial processes and combustion (e.g. sinter plants, BOS furnaces). This excludes emissions from off road mobile machinery used in industry. Because industry is such a broad category, a page reference to where the relevant information about the relative contribution of different processes can be found in the full air quality plan should be given in the comments. -- Name -- agriculture -- Definition -- Emissions arising directly from agricultural activities (e.g. chicken farming). This excludes emissions from off road mobile machinery used in agriculture -- Name -- commercial and residential -- Definition -- Emissions from commercial or residential heating (e.g. domestic boilers). This excludes emissions from off road mobile machinery used in commercial and residential sectors. -- Name -- shipping -- Definition -- Emissions from shipping (excludes emissions from off road mobile machinery used at ports). -- Name -- off road mobile machinery -- Definition -- This includes off road mobile machinery used in industry, agriculture, commercial and residential sectors and shipping. -- Name -- natural -- Definition -- Sources which are not influenced by human activity, e.g., dust resuspended from roads, even if having Saharan origin, must be listed under “traffic”; wind-blown dust from crop fields must be listed under “agriculture”. Please provide a description of the natural contribution in the comments . -- Name -- transboundary -- Definition -- Transboundary (related to national boundaries) contributions to the urban increment. -- Name -- other -- Definition -- Please provide description in the comments. -- Name -- costs -- Definition -- Estimated costs for the implementation of the measure over the whole implementation period. -- Name -- estimated implementation costs -- Definition -- The estimated total costs include also the costs borne by the sector(s) affected -- Name -- final implementation costs -- Definition -- The estimated total costs include also the costs borne by the sector(s) affected -- Name -- currency -- Definition -- Specification of currency of costs -- Name -- air quality directive representative area -- Definition -- -- Name -- inspireId -- Definition -- The unique identifier for representative area -- Description -- An external object identifier is a unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external application to reference the spatial object. -- Name -- description -- Definition -- -- Name -- documentation -- Definition -- -- Name -- measurement equipment -- Definition -- -- Name -- equipment -- Definition -- -- Name -- other equipment -- Definition -- -- Name -- air quality directive aggregation process -- Definition -- -- Name -- description -- Definition -- -- Name -- local increment -- Definition -- Estimate of split for local increment in µg/m³ The local increment identifies contributions from sources in the immediate vicinity.
