Kunming Air Quality and Urban Noise Project
　　IVL's task in Sida financed project is to assist the Yunnan Environmental Monitoring Centre Station (YEMCS) and Kunming Environmental Monitoring Centre Station (KEMCS) in upgrading the facilities for, as well as skills and knowledge about, air quality management.
　　In order to detect the ambient air quality in Kunming IVL's diffusive samplers have been used with continuously measuring instruments.
　　IVL has in the project also developed and implemented a new software system, EQMS. EQMS is a GIS-based software that can store, analyse and present environmental data of interest and simulate the cause and effect relationships with regard to emissions and air quality.

Technical Assistance to Liaoning
　　This is EU's biggest environmental project in China ever. IVL's main task in the project is to develop an Environment Information System, which will integrate ambient air quality data, water effluent and quality data into a GIS-based decision tool. This tool will be based on IVL's EQMS-system. The decision tool should when finished be implemented at six local environmental protection bureau within the Liaoning province and their staff should be trained in handling the system. IVL will also be responsible for improving the client's general computer literacy and data security awareness. The project starts in 1999 and will end in 2004.

Clean Technology and Waste Water Treatment
　　TAES and IVL have during the last years co-operated in treatment of industrial waste water. The main parts in Sida financed project is to transfer knowledge in different ways to reduce environmental impact from industrial production, and training in using pilot scale tests to evaluate cost and effect of different treatment methods. Partly based upon this experience TAES has designed several full scale treatment plants.
　　A continued co-operation is planned, where more stress will be given to Clean Technology in an opti-malcombination with external treatment. In this project the participation of equipment suppliers in different tests is welcomed.

Cleaner production
　　Liaoning is a province in China with a great deal of heavy energy consuming industry, steel industry and coal mining industry. Mantgomery Waston is a British/American environmental consulting company. They are head contractor for a EC-aid founded project to China, which is aiming to improve the environmental impact in the province of Liaoning. The project is emphasising on pollution prevention, energy conservation and cleaner production. IVL is a subcontractor to Montgomery Wston in this project as instrumentation specialists for measurements of pollutants in waste water. The project is planned to start 1999.

Inner Mongolia Lake Restoration Project
　　Inner Mongolia has a number of lakes, particularly vulnerable to the eutrophication process. The lakes are important production bases for fishery, and a source of drinking, industrial, and agricultural water in the area. These lakes are proven to be very important for the entire ecological system in the area. The lake Wuliangshuhai in Inner Mongolia receives a large amount of nutrients with its inflow from the Hetao area of cultivated land. Already 50% of the lake is covered by reed, caused mainly by the eutrophication process.
　　This Sida/NORAD financed project is a co-operation between the Inner Mongolia Environmental Science Institute (IMESI), IVL and NIVA. The main goal is to produce a control plan for the eutrophication problems of Lake Wuliangsuhai. An additional goal is to qualify the Chinese personnel in methods to carry out similar research and restoration projects.
