In 2009, 34,824 tonnes of heavy metals contained in high level nuclear waste was in storage, up 4.7% since 2008. The annual quantity of spent fuel was approximately 1,828 tonnes of heavy metals in 2009. However, there is a decreasing trend in the annual quantity of spent fuel arisings since 1990. On the other hand, the amount of electricity produced from nuclear power has increased by 12.5% over the period 1990 to 2009 (see ENER27). This decoupling between electricity production and generation of radioactive waste can be explained by the fact that fuel rods are replaced gradually as well as by improvements in fuel burnup and plant efficiency [1] . [1] Energy efficiency  is calculated using an efficiney coefficient of  33% for all reactors (the efficiency of a particular reactor type – CANDU) since  all reactors types are slightly different. However overtime there is a trend towards more efficient reactors in Europe, such as those with breeder reactors/fuel enrichment. However, once a reactor is built, the efficiency assumed is fixed at 33%.

It is mainly based on air quality measurement data that have been made available officially by 32 EEA member countries as well as 6 EEA cooperating countries. The report includes maps and analyses of air quality status over the calendar year 2009. It also analyses air quality trends over the past years. The evaluation of the status and trends of air quality is based on ambient air measurements, in conjunction with reported anthropogenic emissions. The report summarizes the main effects of different air pollutants on human health, the environment and the climate. An overview of policies and measures at European level is also given for each pollutant. This report reviews progress towards meeting the requirements of the two air quality directives in force as well as the air quality guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The report is produced in support of European and national policy development and implementation in the field of air quality. It also supports air quality management and informs the general public on the current status and trends of air quality in Europe.

But there is still a lot of room for improvement, as many EU countries are expected to exceed the emissions ceilings in 2010 for at least one pollutant. In addition, concentration levels of ground-level ozone and particulate matter have remained stable over recent years despite efforts to improve air quality.

In 2008, 44,102 tonnes of heavy metals contained in high level nuclear waste was in storage, up 34.1% since 2006. The annual quantity of spent fuel was approximately 2,328 [1] tonnes of heavy metals in 2008, relatively stable since 1990. On the other hand, the amount of electricity produced from nuclear power increased by 38.4% over the same period reference to the relative ENER indicator. This partial decoupling between electricity production and generation of radioactive waste can be explained by the fact that fuel rods are replaced gradually as well as by recent improvements in fuel burnup, plant efficiency and increased plant availability [1] Estimates are provisional and  are based on NEA (2009) - Nuclear Energy Data 2009 No publisher pastocin Assessment09 assessment11 ENER13 electricity nuclear energy heavy metals ENER2011 heavy metal ENER013 fuel ENER ENER2009 nuclear plant 2011-08-02T13:06:09+02:00 Indicator Assessment http://www.eea.europa.eu/soer/countries/fi/air-pollution-state-and-impacts-finland?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic Air pollution - State and Impacts No publisher SOER2010finland country assessment eutrophying deposition PAH concentration O3 NO2 air quality heavy metals polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons particulate matter human health vegetation critical load SO2 acidifying deposition sulphur dioxide SOER2010 PM10 air pollution nitrogen dioxide air quality monitoring ozone rural area urban area 2010-11-26T18:45:07+02:00 Common environmental theme http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/eea_report_2007_2?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic No publisher EEA (European Environment Agency) air pollutant emissions eutrophication tropospheric ozone air quality ground-level ozone nitrogen dioxide heavy metals ozone precursors particulate matter nitrogen carbon monoxide PAH air pollution benzene PM acidification NO2 fine particles 2007-11-13T10:50:00+01:00 Publication http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/technical_report_2007_8?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic No publisher EEA (European Environment Agency) chemical concentration model air quality air pollution heavy metals manufactured chemicals chemical EPER chemical density surface water sewage 2007-05-23T08:00:00+01:00 Publication http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/technical_report_2006_8?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic No publisher EEA (European Environment Agency) PCDD/F carbon monoxide Pb PAH PM2.5 PCB SOx nitrogen oxide road transport ammonia dioxins and furans emission inventory mercury emissions from transport lead heavy metals energy production polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons particulate matter long-range transboundary air pollution industrial production nitrogen oxides Hg PM UNECE solvent HCB non-methane volatile organic compounds hexachlorobenzene HCH non-road transport emission trends PM10 energy use EU emission inventory hexachlorocyclohexane Cd polychlorinated biphenyls sulphur oxides key pollutants sulphur transport 2006-10-12T23:00:00+01:00 Publication http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/eea_report_2005_10?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic No publisher EEA (European Environment Agency) climate change impacts EMF lung disease cancer climate change consequences climate change dioxin noise smoking PAH CAFE O3 NO2 hazardous chemical mercury chemical asthma lead heavy metals REACH polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons SO2 POPs particulate matter flame-retardant human health health sulphur dioxide childhood cancer respiratory diseases allergy asbestos pesticide phthalates DDT cadmium PBC UV rays air quality skin cancer electromagnetic field endocrine disruption health impact PM10 air pollution ground-level ozone nitrogen oxide polychlorinated biphenyls PM2.5 neurodevelopmental disorder persistent organic pollutants 2006-01-04T09:00:00+01:00 Publication
