Aims

1. To formulate a guidance document on best practices for the combined use of monitoring methods and models to assess Air Quality in Europe from hotspot/street level to continental level for various users on local, regional, national and European level and for various purposes.
    
2. To prepare maps of air quality in Europe based on the available European wide data sets and best technique of assessment.

	Users: policy makers at city, regional, national and European level.
	Research objectives: review benefits and drawbacks of existing modelling and monitoring methods for different spatial and temporal scales.
	Criteria for the review: accuracy, costs, input requirements and representativeness of the data.
	Results I: recommended methods for integrated Air Quality assessment with emphasis on the combined use of monitoring and modelling.
	Results II: Air Quality maps covering the European scale, including examples of the hotspot, street, urban, agglomeration and regional level for PM10, PM2.5, NO2, O3, CO, SO2 and benzene.
