    Details
    Level of authority: 
    National
    Italy
    Formal Mandate: 
    <p>On September 1, 2011, the EU LIFE+ program approved the project DIAPASON, "Desert-dust impact on air quality through model-predictions and advanced sensors observations", under the Grant Agreement number LIFE10 ENV/IT/000391.<br /> The DIAPASON proposal was set up to significantly support EU Member States at taking robust measurements of Saharan advections to respond to the air quality (AQ) Directive 2008/50/EC.<br /> The proposed methodology will be tailored to national and regional environmental agencies needs, and will be disseminated at European level through guidelines and recommendations shared with the project stakeholders.<br /> An important project mandate is therefore to network with International environmental initiatives including INSPIRE: in this respect, the DIAPASON project can be proposed as a pilot project to feed or test INSPIRE implementing rules. The information generated by DIAPASON could improve/integrate current measurements under the implementation of the directive INSPIRE by Member States at national level.</p>
    Main Activities: 
    The DIAPASON project will design a new INSPIRE-compliant technology (i.e., a new INSPIRE compliant equipment ready to use under the AQ Directive 2008/50/EC), and disseminate INSPIRE compliant best practice guidelines and recommendations, which could improve current measurements in relation to EC environmental objectives.
