Additional information

The maps are derived primarily from Airbase background station monitoring data, few EMEP station monitoring data, supplemented with altitude, meterological ECMWF data and EMEP concentration modeling data. These maps are assessment tools for use at the European scale. They may show results which differ from assessments made at national scale.
