Particle emission monitoring

Particle emission monitoring

PortCastelló is one of the top five ports in the Spanish port system for solid bulk handling. It is committed to sustainable growth to meet the ceramic-tile industry’s needs while also safeguarding the environment and fulfilling our social responsibility to our immediate surroundings.

The Port Authority of Castellon uses continuous measuring equipment to gather air quality data in real time and over the last few years it has rolled out several additional measures to meet regulatory air quality targets.

Particle emission monitoring

The monitoring programme includes a network of six measuring stations for continuous monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter and SO2, NO, NO2 and NOx gas immission levels. The real-time monitoring stations are located in the port-city interface area and are fitted with weather sensors which can interpret the data for subsequent use in enhancing air quality in the port.

These data are provisional as they have to be validated and the particulate matter value discounted due to Saharan dust inputs. The regulatory framework allows the PM10 daily limit value to be exceeded up to 35 times per year.

* The station’s average concentration over the previous 24 hours.

Missing point data may be due to technical actions.
