The contribution made by each sector to the total change in primary PM10 particulate matter emission between 1990 and 2009.
The contribution made by each sector to the total change in primary PM2.5 particulate matter emissions between 1990 and 2009.
The contribution made by different sectors to emissions of primary PM2.5 and PM10, and to emissions of the secondary particulate matter precursors.
Percentage change in primary PM10 particulate matter emissions for each sector and pollutant between 1990 and 2009.
Percentage change in primary PM2.5 particulate matter emissions for each sector and pollutant between 1990 and 2009.
The reported change in primary PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter for each country, 1990-2009.
This chart shows past emission trends of primary PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter, 1990-2009.
The contribution made by different sectors to emissions of acidifying pollutants
This chart shows past emission trends of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx) and ammonia (NH3) in the EEA-32 and EU-27 group of countries. In addition - for the EU-27 - the aggregated Member State 2010 emission ceilings for the respective pollutants are shown
The maps illustrate Corine Land Cover 1990 for each country for all 44 classes

(*) Data are missing for some countries in years between 2000 and 2007. The countries whose data are missing are listed in ETC/SCP, 2011.
'Precious metals' include silver, gold and platinum. 'Other metals' include lead, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, bismuth, cadmium, titanium, antimony, manganese, beryllium, chromium, germanium, vanadium, niobium, rhenium, gallium, indium and cermets. * The 2009 calculation is based on the values for only the second half of 2009. Despite the huge decline in commodity prices at the beginning of 2009 due to the economic downturn, the total turnover of recyclables recovered markedly in the second half of 2009.
(*) The current and potential contribution figures are both based on the infrastructure available in 2006. Future changes in collection rates, improved recycling structures and market conditions could significantly influence the potential contribution figures.
(*) The 2010 values are based on amounts and values for only the first half of 2010 because figures for the second half of the year were not available at the time of writing. Precious metals include silver, gold and platinum. 'Other metals' includes lead, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, bismuth, cadmium, titanium, antimony, manganese, beryllium, chromium, germanium, vanadium, niobium, rhenium, gallium, indium and cermets.
