Waterbase - Emissions to water

Marek STARON — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:00:00 +0200

Emissions to water are an important element (describing the pressure) in assessment of the state of Europe’s environment (SoE). This database contains data on emissions of nutrients and hazardous substances to water, aggregated within River Basin Districts (RBDs), in the EEA member countries. The reporting process, endorsed by the Water Directors, and this publication of the data, enables all stakeholders to use the data and contributes to streamlining with other reporting processes.

Monitoring of CO2 emissions from vans – Regulation 510/2011

David Simoens — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:55:00 +0200

The Regulation (EC) No 510/2011 requires Member States to record information for each new van registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registrations. In particular, the following details are required for each new van registered: manufacturer name, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2, mass of the vehicle, wheel base, track width, fuel type and fuel mode. Additional information, such as type approval number, engine power and engine capacity were also submitted.

Van manufacturers must make new models more efficient by 2020

Arthur Girling — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:55:00 +0200

New vans in the European Union (EU) must become more efficient to meet carbon dioxide targets in 2017 and 2020, according to provisional data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Europe’s air today

Nicole Kobosil — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:15:00 +0200

Europe has improved its air quality in recent decades. Emissions of many pollutants were curbed successfully, but particulate matter and ozone pollution in particular continue to pose serious risks to the health of Europeans.

Our Natural Europe: conservation stories show importance of local action

Arthur Girling — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:55:00 +0200

When fishermen in the Koster Sea in Southern Sweden understood the value of the ecosystems beneath the waves, they voluntarily agreed to change fishing practices. The area became Sweden’s first marine national park in 2006.

European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) data from CITL

David Simoens — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:00:00 +0200

Data about the EU emission trading system (ETS). The EU ETS data viewer provides aggregated data by country, by sector and by year on the verified emissions, allowances and surrendered units of more than 12 000 installations covered by the EU emission trading system.

Exposure to traffic of children aged 3–14 years according to social status

Projected chemicals production by region (in sales) Baseline 2010–2050. China is included in the BRIICS data, but has also been singled out to show its share in the BRIICS projected chemical production.

PCB levels in grey seals (a), white-tailed sea eagle eggs (b), Guillemot eggs (c) and Baltic Herring (d) in the Baltic region between 1970 and 2010

Annual mean particulate matter (PM10) 2010, based on daily average with percentage of valid measurements 75 % in μg/m3

Carsten Iversen — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:07:04 +0200

The red dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2005 annual limit value (40 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of a statistically derived level (31 μg/m3) corresponding to the 24–hour limit value, as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The pale green dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 of less than 20 μg/m3 but not in exceedance of limit values as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The dark green dots indicate stations reporting concentrations below the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 and implicitly below the limit values as set out in the Air Quality Directive.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (waste 003) - Assessment published Jun 2013

Carsten Iversen — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:05:21 +0200

Data indicates that while reuse and recycling of the collected waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) seems to be on track in the majority of the EU and EFTA member countries, the collection of the WEEE has shown varying but generally improving results. It appears that the amounts of WEEE that are collected, are largely reused (either as a whole appliance or components) or recycled although there is still room for improvement in some countries. However, more attention should be given to the improvement of collection systems. The level of collection is still very low in many countries, especially when compared to the amount put on the market (Figure 1).
