Trends in concentration of cadmium and mercury at river stations included in the EU Exchange of Information Decision
In less polluted areas in, for example, Nordic countries, concentrations of cadmium and mercury are only 10 and 1 % of these values
Trends in lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) emissions in EU-25, 1990-2004
Annual mean arsenic and cadmium concentrations in 2017
Observed concentrations of arsenic (left) and cadmium (right) in 2017. The map shows the arsenic and cadmium annual mean concentrations. The dots in the last two colour categories indicate stations with exceedances of the annual target value (6 ng/m3 for arsenic and 5 ng/m3 for cadmium). Only stations with more than 14 % of valid data have been included in the map.
Annual mean arsenic and cadmium concentrations in 2017
Observed concentrations of arsenic (left) and cadmium (right) in 2017. The map shows the arsenic and cadmium annual mean concentrations. The dots in the last two colour categories indicate stations with exceedances of the annual target value (6 ng/m3 for arsenic and 5 ng/m3 for cadmium). Only stations with more than 14 % of valid data have been included in the map.
EU emissions of As, Cd, Hg, Ni and Pb, 2002–2011, as a percentage of 2002 emissions
The graph shows the development in As (and other heavy metals) emissions reported by the EU Member States between 2002 and 2011 as a percentage of 2002 emissions.
Cadmium accumulation in soils in the EU-27, 2010
Accumulation rates of Cadmium (left) and Copper (right), 2010
Map of accumulation rates of Cadmium (left) and Copper (right) for the year 2010 in agricultural top soils (upper 20 cm). Data on: (i) manure application, affecting metal inputs, is based on livestock statistics from EUROSTAT, (ii) fertilizer inputs and crop yields , affecting metal uptake, are based on FAOstat, and (iii) soil metal concentrations, affecting metal leaching, are based on GEMAS (Reimann et al. 2014a,b)
AirBase - Exchange of information
Observed air quality concentration maps for 2013 for components O3, PM10, NO2, PM2.5 and BaP.
Annual mean cadmium concentrations in 2018
Observed concentrations of Cd in 2018. Dots in the last two colour categories correspond to concentrations above the target value. Only stations reporting more than 14 % of valid data have been included in the map.
Annual mean concentrations of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel), 2011
The four maps shows the annual mean concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel in the year 2011
Cadmium 2010 - Annual target value for the protection of human health
In the directive 2004/107/EC (Fourth Daughter Directive), the EU has set a target value for cadmium (Cd) for the protection of human health: the Cd annual mean value may not exceed 5 nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m3). The target value enters into force 31.12.2012.
Cadmium - Annual target value for the protection of human health
In the directive 2004/107/EC (Fourth Daughter Directive), the EU has set a target value for cadmium (Cd) for the protection of human health: the Cd annual mean value may not exceed 5 nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m3). The target value enters into force 31.12.2012.
Cadmium in mosses, early 1990s

Distance to target (2004) for arsenic, cadmium and nickel at urban and rural stations
´Average´ is average across all stations, ´avg > LV´ is average of those stations exceeding the target value, ´max´ is the maximum station
Air quality statistics
The Air Quality Annual Statistics Viewer shows yearly data for all 12 air pollutants that have legal limits under EU air quality laws. Results are presented by year on maps and box plots. Specific screens also show the evolution throughout the years, as well as the distribution of the values

Emissions of cadmium to water based on E-PRTR reporting of 2007 data
The map shows the emissions of cadmium to water based on E-PRTR reporting of 2007 data
European Union emission inventory report 1990 — 2008 under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP)
This document is the European Union emission inventory report under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). It includes information on the formal institutional arrangements that underpin the European Union's emission inventory, emission trends for the EU‑27 and Member States, and the contribution of important individual emission sources to total emissions, sector group emission trends for key pollutants, information on recalculations and future planned improvements.
