The outlook is for good air quality. The use of studded tyres has decreased and the consequence is that PM levels have decreased. As a result of the economic depression, traffic has also decreased from 2008-2010.

 

Further developments are expected in new geothermal power plants with increased emission of hydrogen sulfide until the year 2014, but in that year stricter exceedance limits will enter into force.
