The red dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2010 annual target value (25 μg/m3) plus at least 5 μg/m3. The dark orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2010 annual target value (25 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2020 indicative annual limit value (20 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The pale green dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5 of less than 10 μg/m3 but not in exceedance of target or limit values for PM2.5 as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The dark green dots indicate stations reporting concentrations below the WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5 and implicitly below the target and limit values for PM2.5 as set out in the Air Quality Directive
The map shows the proximity of measured O3 concentrations to the target value set in the European Union's Air Quality Directive. At sites marked with dark orange and red dots, the daily maximum 8-hour mean O3 concentration exceeds the 120 μg/m3 threshold on more than 25 days per year (the policy target is set at max. 25 days of exceedance per year, averaged over 3 years).
Assessing health benefits from the reduction of air pollution — the Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) study
Assessing health benefits from the reduction of air pollution — the Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) study
Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) are two highly polluted regions in Europe, where residential heating by solid fuel combustion (wood in Italy, and coal in Poland) in small appliances is still common.
This indicator presents the trend in aggregated production volumes of toxic chemicals, broken down into five toxicity classes: Carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR) chemicals; Chronic toxic chemicals; Very toxic chemicals; Toxic chemicals; and Harmful chemicals.
12 European Cities participating in the Air Implementation Pilot depicting the Air Quality zones and the Urban Audit core city limits. The intention is to show the match between AQ zones and the Urban Audit city limits.
The map shows the indoor radon concentration averaged over 10x10 km grid cells
The colours on the map show the inferential distribution of the daily mean pollen concentration categories of the entire ragweed season by settlements (HAN). The level of warning resp. the 3 levels of alert are shown. The 'very high' concentration category, meaning 'worsening symptoms, in some cases with extremely high daily concentration producing serious symptoms' was very typical in the central, eastern and southern part of Hungary.
The modeling for 2011 is done for regional background level in scale of 15 μg/m3 for PM 2.5
Trends in EU greenhouse gas emissions for the period 1990/base year - 2011
Absolute change in emissions by sector in EU-27, 1990 -2011
Absolute change of GHG emissions by gas in the EU-27, 2010 - 2011 and total GHG emissions by gas in the EU-27, 2011
The grid is based on the recommendation at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids in 2003 and later INSPIRE geographical grid systems. For each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. The grids cover at least country borders - plus 15km buffer - and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v7.0 - plus 15km buffer - (www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound). Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.
Interpolated maps showing air quality in Europe. The dataset has been reorganised in order to improve data harmonization among years and to facilitate storage and processing of the interpolated maps for the EEA data services.

Graph showing progression of average emissions for new cars versus 2015 and 2020 targets
Output from conventional thermal power stations consists of gross electricity generation and also of any heat sold to third parties (combined heat and power plants) by conventional thermal public utility power stations as well as autoproducer thermal power stations. Due to inconsistencies in the Eurostat data set Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Norway are excluded for all years (efficiencies >100%). For Cyprus, Iceland and Malta data on autoproducers is not available, therefore they are also excluded for all years.
