BElgian Ammonia assessed using innovative Multiscale Measurements and Modelling
BEAM
The BEAM (BElgian Ammonia assessed using innovative Multiscale Measurements and Modelling) is a project funded by BELSPO, which aims at reducing ammonia (NH₃) emissions, improve inventories, and supports policies to mitigate nitrogen’s environmental impacts.
Atmospheric nitrogen emissions, primarily ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), have surged since pre-industrial times. Upon deposition, reactive nitrogen (Nᵣ) threatens biodiversity and human health by forming PM2.5, linked to millions of premature deaths highlighting the urgent need for better nitrogen management strategies in environmental policies.
