Air pollution in Europe 1990-2004
Effects of air pollution on European ecosystems
Past and future exposure of European freshwater and terrestrial habitats to acidifying and eutrophying air pollutants
Contributions by sector for emissions of acidifying pollutants (EEA member countries)
The contribution made by different sectors to emissions of acidifying pollutants
Total emissions of acidifying substances (sulphur, nitrogen) and of nitrogen in the EEA-32 from 1990 to 2006
How to read the graph: in 1990, the total of acidifying emissions was around 1 500 Gg, while for nitrogen fractions it was more than 500 Gg.
Unleaded petrol use in Europe 1996
Overall change in emissions of acidifying substances by country, 1990-2003
The graph shows the emissions of acidifying pollutants (SO2, NOX and NH3) each weighted by an acid equivalency factor prior to aggregation to represent their respective acidification potentials
Percentage of ecosystems protected from acidification, 2000
Percentage reduction in observed annual sulphur deposition from 1990/92 to 1998/2000
Projected ocean acidification by 2100
The maps show projected ocean acidification and related impacts on corals by 2020, 2060 and 2100: from better (blue) to worse (orange) conditions for coral skeletal growth.
Regional coincidence of some environmental pressures and impacts (hot spots)
Regional predominant pressures on coniferous forest
Regional predominant pressures on wet grassland
Air pollutant emissions data viewer (Gothenburg Protocol, Air Convention) 1990-2023
The air pollutant emissions data viewer (Air Convention) provides access to the data contained in the EU emission inventory report 1990-2023 under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (Air Convention)
Emissions of Sulphur in 1995 at 50km resolution (tonnes of S per year)
Notes: Includes emissions from shipping in the North Sea and the north-east Altantic (Lloyd's Register of Shipping [1995]: Marine Exhaust Emission Research Programme
Exceedance of critical loads for acidification by deposition of nitrogen and sulphur compounds in 2000
The results were computed using the 2008 Critical Loads database hosted by the Coordination Centre for Effects (CCE).
Exceedance of critical loads for acidification by deposition of nitrogen and sulphur compounds in 2010
The results were computed using the 2008 Critical Loads database hosted by the Coordination Centre for Effects (CCE).
Exceedance of critical loads for acidification by deposition of nitrogen and sulphur compounds in 2020 assuming a Maximum Feasible Reductions scenario
The results were computed using the 2008 Critical Loads database hosted by the Coordination Centre for Effects (CCE).
Exceedance of critical loads for acidifying nitrogen in 1996
Exceedance of critital loads of acidity
Maps showing changes in the extent to which European ecosystems are exposed to acid deposition (i.e. where the critical load limits for acidification are exceeded). Values for 2010 are predicted based on adherence to implementation of NEC Directive.
Exceedance of the 5 percentile conditional critical loads for acidifying nitrogen, 1995
Exceedance of the 5 percentile conditional critical loads for sulphur, 1995
Exceedance of the critical loads for acidification in Europe (as average accumulated exceedances), 2004
This map shows areas in Europe where ecosystems are exposed to atmospheric loads of acidity (sulphur plus nitrogen compounds) that are greater than the critical load for the most sensitive ecosystem in each 50 x 50 grid cell.
Exposure of ecosystems to acidification
The maps show the average accumulated exceedance of critical loads for acidification in 1980 (top left), 1990 (top right), 2000 (middle left), 2010 (middle right), 2020 under the revised Gothenburg Protocol scenario emission reduction agreements (bottom left) and 2030 assuming maximum technically feasible reduction (bottom right).
