Ambient air quality monitoring system for Zambia. Mission report 1 to Zambia, Sep-Oct 1998.

Summaries of the mission to Zambia 19 September to 2 October 1998 to support the Norwegian State Pollution Control Authority (SFT) in defining the ambient air pollution component of the Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme (IPPP) operated by the Environmental Council of Zambia (ECZ). A screening study of the present ambient air quality was undertaken, with visits to the main industries, collection of meteorological data and installation of passive samplers in Lusaka and the Copperbelt areas. Several laboratories were visited and a common laboratory for air and water chemical analyses is proposed. As a result of this mission the measurement programme for ambient air quality measurements in Zambia has been designed.
