Summary Summary � The mobile carriage- laboratory is the ef f ective tool f or investigation of spatial variations of atmospheric constituents over the continent atmospheric constituents over the continent, their sources and sinks, long- range transport and chemical transf ormation. I t can be a part p of GAW/ WMO network responsible f or observations over vast territories in Eurasia � The mobile laboratory could be used as international laboratory and operate on the international laboratory and operate on the territory of European and Asian countries uniting prof essionals in dif f erent f ields of research and giving training and ecological education f or giving training and ecological education f or students and young scientists.

EUROTRAC Tropospheric Ozone Research (phase 2) Main conclusions on t rends: � Observations in polluted areas show a substantial decrease p in NMVOC and CO (-35/ -50% ), and NOx(-20/ -40% ) levels over the last 10-15 years. � For traffic there is an excellent agreement with emission � For traffic there is an excellent agreement with emission trends. � Ozone peak values have been decreasing significantly over the last 10 years while background ozone and low ozone the last 10 years, while background ozone and low ozone values in polluted areas have increased. � There is strong evidence, that the lower percentiles in the ozone values in polluted areas have increased, in particular l i ll t d h i d i ti l during winter.
