This paper provides the annual update of the European air quality concentrations of selected pollutants (PM10 and ozone), their exceedance probability and population exposure estimates for the year 2010. The analysis is based on interpolation of annual statistics of the 2010 observational data reported by EEA Member countries in 2010 and stored in AirBase . The paper presents the mapping results and includes an uncertainty analysis of the interpolated maps, building upon the latest methodological developments.

Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value for crops (May-July) in (μg/m³).h, 1996–2010

Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value for crops (May-July) in (μg/m³).h, 1996–2010 Average values over all rural stations which reported data over at least eleven years in the period 1996-2010. The black line corresponds to the 5-year averaged value. Variations over Europe in observed values is large, eighty percent of the observations falls with the red shaded area.

Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for forest in 2010

Rural concentration map of the ozone indicator AOT40 for forest in 2010 The gradient of the AOT40f values is similar to those of the AOT40c for crops: relative low in northern Europe, and the highest values observed in the countries around the Mediterranean. The critical level is met in north Scandinavia, Ireland, part of the UK and in the coastal regions of the Netherlands (total forested area with concentrations below the critical level is 22 % of a total area of 1.44 million km2). In south Europe levels may be as high as 4-5 times above the critical level.
