[abstract] A Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) system has been operating by the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics for almost one year. The DOAS instrument used was constructed by OPSIS AB and monitored O-3, SO2, NO2, toluene and benzene, simultaneously. This paper critically discusses continuous UV/VIS-DOAS measurements of O-3, NO2, SO2, benzene and toluene performed in parallel with conventional measurements of O-3, SO2, NO2 and total non methane hydrocarbons (NMHC).
