Air pollution by ozone (CLIM 006) - Assessment published Sep 2008: Climate variability and change has contributed to an increase in average ozone concentrations in central and South-Western Europe (1-2 % per decade). During the summer of 2003, exceptionally long-lasting and spatially extensive episodes of high ozone concentrations occurred, mainly in the first half of August. These episodes appear to have been associated with the extraordinarily high temperatures over wide areas of Europe and illustrate the expected more frequent exceedances of the ozone information threshold under projected climate change. The projected climate-induced increase in ozone levels may result in current ozone abatement policies becoming inadequate.

Air pollution by ozone and health (CLIM 006) - Assessment published Nov 2012: Ozone is both an important air pollutant and a GHG. Excessive exposure to ground-level ozone is estimated to cause about 20000 premature deaths per year in Europe. Attribution of observed ozone exceedances, or changes therein, to individual causes, such as climate change, is difficult. Future climate change is expected to increase ozone concentrations but this effect will most likely be outweighed by reduction in ozone levels due to expected future emission reductions.

Change in number of ozone exceedance days between 1993-1996 and 2000-2004: The map shows the change in the average number of ozone exceedence days from April to September observed at regional background stations (EMEP monitoring stations) from the period 1990-1994 to the period 1999-2004, excluding the abnormally warm summer of 2003. A day is counted as an exceedence day when the daily maximal 8-hr-average ozone concentration exceeds 60 ppbV.
