Spatial assessment of PM10 and ozone concentrations in Europe (2005)


Technical report No 1/2009
Cover Image
This report presents particulate matter (PM10) and ground‑level ozone concentration maps covering the whole of Europe. The interpolated maps are based on a combination of measurement and regional modelling results. Using measured concentrations as a primary source of information, the report summarizes the methodologies and the methodological choices taken in order to derive such maps.

Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for crops, 2006 and 2007 Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for crops, 2006 and 2007 AOT40 for crops are vegatation exposure related indicators and are based on rural background station observation only
Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for crops, year 2007 Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for crops, year 2007 AOT40 for crops are vegatation exposure related indicators and are based on rural background station observation only.
Agricultural area (in 1 000 km²) in EEA member countries for each exposure class Agricultural area (in 1 000 km²) in EEA member countries for each exposure class Due to lack of detailed land cover data and/or rural ozone data Iceland and Norway are not included until 2006 and onwards. Switzerland and Turkey have not been included in the analysis for the entire period 1996-2007 due to the same reasons.
Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value (May-July) in (μg/m³).h, 1996-2007 Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value (May-July) in (μg/m³).h, 1996-2007 Average values over all rural stations which reported data over at least nine years in the period 1996-2007. The light blue line corresponds to the 5-year averaged value.
Exposure of agricultural area to ozone (exposure expressed as AOT40 in (μg/m³).h) in EEA member countries Exposure of agricultural area to ozone (exposure expressed as AOT40 in (μg/m³).h) in EEA member countries In the Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) the target value for protection of vegetation is set to 18 000 (μg/m³).h while the long-term objective is set to 6 000 (μg/m³).h. Due to lack of detailed land cover data and/or rural ozone data Iceland and Norway are not included until 2006 and onwards. Switzerland and Turkey have not been included in the analysis for the entire period 1996-2007 due to the same reasons.
