Key message:

Ozone levels in Europe are exceeding the threshold set for protection of human health. Year-to-year fluctuations and changes in monitoring networks preclude firm conclusions on trends in population exposure; analysis of monitoring data suggests that peak ozone concentrations are decreasing, but median values are tending to increase.
