13 May MI-TRAP Presented at EGU 2026 Session on Transport and Urban Air Quality
MI-TRAP Presented at EGU 2026 Session on Transport and Urban Air Quality
MI-TRAP was presented at the EGU General Assembly 2026 during Session AS3.32, Transport and urban air quality: Characterization and monitoring of real-world emissions, impacts on health, and mitigation strategies, convened by MI-TRAP Project Coordinator Konstantinos Eleftheriadis.
Held on Friday, 8 May, the session brought together interdisciplinary research focused on transport-related air pollution, atmospheric chemistry, and the impacts of emissions on climate and public health. The session addressed the growing need for real-world emissions studies and improved scientific understanding of emerging pollution sources, including non-exhaust emissions and microplastics.
MI-TRAP was introduced during the convener’s opening remarks by Dr. Eleftheriadis and further highlighted through three project presentations focusing on urban monitoring campaigns and source apportionment analyses conducted within the project framework.
The presentations included:
- Ultrafine, solid particles and Black Carbon Near Real Time assessment and critical properties at a traffic Hotspot MI-TRAP monitoring station in Athens Maria Gini, Stergios Vratolis, Manousos Manousakas, Evangelia Diapouli, Konstantinos Granakis, Vakalaki Eleni Amvrosia, Stasinos Konstantopoulos, Theodoros Giannakopoulos, Arpit Malik, Jakub Ondracek, Vladimir Zdimal, Griša Močnik, Konstantina Vasilatou, Andreas Nowak, and Konstantinos Eleftheriadis
- Real-Time Source Apportionment at an Urban Traffic Site in Athens during the MI-TRAP 2025 Campaign Manousos Manousakas, Erin Kiely, Olga Zografou, Aggelos Laoutaris, Evangelia Diapouli, Maria Gini, Stergios Vratolis, Prodromos Fetfatzis, Eleni Papaioannou, Daniel Deloglou, Kyriaki Tsortanidou, Laurence Windell, Kaspar Daelenbach, Andre Prevot, and Konstantinos Eleftheriadi
- Source Apportionment and Composition Characterization of Transport-Related Aerosols in the Port of Rotterdam during the MI-TRAP Campaign Štěpán Horník, Juliane L. Fry, Joel F. de Brito, Veronique Riffault, Hui Chen, Laurent Alleman, Jean-Eudes Petit, Olivier Favez, Hasna Chebaicheb, Manousos Ioannis Manousakas, Konstantinos Eleftheriadis, Maria Gini, Stergios Vratolis, Jakub Ondráček, Hugo Bison, and Ed van der Gaag
The presented work contributed to ongoing discussions on the characterization of transport emissions in high-impact urban environments and the development of evidence-based approaches for improving air quality monitoring and mitigation strategies across Europe.
