===== Background =====
Main motivation: 
  * Model intercomparison / performances for BaP, also in relation with modelling of correlated species: PM, EC, levo
  * Reference BaP levels for exposure assessment in relation with EU target levels
  * Link BaP with PAHs in general in relation with Gothenburg Protocol Review
  * Sensitivity to modelled processes

===== Modelling experiment =====

Annual simulation encompassing IMP field campaing in the winter of 2017/2018
Referred to as Experiment "E" of Eurodelta-Carb PM modelling phase, with adaptation in the model technical specifications below
