EMEP was founded by UNECE [United Nations Economic Commission for Europe], WMO [World Meteorological Organization] and UNEP [United Nations Environment Programme] in 1977. In 1983 it became a project under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air pollution, itself under the auspices of the ECE Protection of the Environment framework. It is one of two regional networks, the other in North America, where a denser network of precipitation monitoring stations has been established to evaluate SO2 and NOX emissions and transport, in particular.

OBS

Currently the national trends networks measure the composition of precipitation and wet deposition using wet-only collectors for both atmospheric and ecological purposes. They are long-term, country-wide, national networks :... Ontario Hydro and the Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network(APN), fall into the third category-research support networks. They are designed primarily to support studies in atmospheric transport, chemistry, and modeling.
