Emissions of ozone precursors (CSI 002) - Assessment published Dec 2008: The aggregated emissions of ground-level ozone precursor pollutants (nitrogen oxides (NO x ), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH 4 )) have decreased by 37% across the EEA-32 region between 1990 and 2006. This decrease has been achieved mainly as a result of the introduction of catalytic converters for vehicles and to a lesser extent by a switch from petrol-fuelled cars to more diesel cars. Together these changes have significantly reduced emissions of NO x and CO from the road transport sector, the main source of ozone precursor emissions. The EU-27 is still some way from meeting its target to reduce emissions of two ozone precursors (NO x and NMVOC) for which emission limits exist under the NEC Directive. A number of individual Member States anticipate missing their ceilings for one or either of these two pollutants.

Emissions of ozone precursors (CSI 002) - Assessment published Jan 2010: The aggregated emissions of ground-level ozone precursor pollutants (nitrogen oxides (NO x ), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH 4 )) have decreased by 39% across the EEA-32 region between 1990 and 2007. This decrease has been achieved mainly as a result of the introduction of catalytic converters for vehicles and to a lesser extent by a switch from petrol-fuelled cars to more diesel cars. Together these changes have significantly reduced emissions of NO x and CO from the road transport sector, the main source of ozone precursor emissions. The EU-27 is still some way from meeting its target to reduce emissions of two ozone precursors (NO x and NMVOC) for which emission limits exist under the NEC Directive.
