MetroPOEM - Metrology for the harmonisation of measurements of environmental pollutants in Europe — •Stephan Winkler for the MetroPOEM collaboration — Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany

The European Green Deal's commitment to achieving zero pollution necessitates the development of highly sensitive techniques for detecting minute amounts of pollutants. Fulfilling this need involves implementing strategies outlined by two European Metrology Networks (EMN): Pollution Monitoring (PolMo) and Radiation Protection. These networks support the Basic Safety Standards directive. Detecting radioactive isotopes and stable polluting elements in the environment requires analytical procedures that are not only fast, sensitive, and inexpensive but also validated using traceable multi-element reference materials for the optimal application of single collector ICP-MS. Unfortunately, multi-element certified reference materials are typically unavailable, and single-element certified reference materials are limited to a handful of elements. However, the urgent need for these reference materials persists, as they play a crucial role in calibrating mass spectrometric measurements and mitigating mass bias effects during the measurements in mass spectrometers. To tackle these challenges, the MetroPOEM project (21GRD09) has been initiated. Coordinated by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt of Germany, MetroPOEM will be executed by a consortium of 23 partners spanning 13 European countries.
