Indicators using this data

Exceedance of air quality standards in urban areas This indicator shows the fraction of the EU-28 urban population that is potentially exposed to ambient air concentrations of certain pollutants (PM 2.5 , PM 10 , O 3 , NO 2 , SO 2 and BaP) that are in excess of the EU limit or target values (EU, 2004, 2008) set for the protection of human health, and to concentrations of these pollutants in excess of the WHO Guidelines (WHO, 2000, 2006). It also shows the evolution of urban and suburban background levels of PM 2.5 , PM 10 , O 3 and NO 2 at EU-28 level. The indicator is based on measurements of air pollutants as reported under the Air Quality Directives (EU, 2004, 2008) and the Decisions on the exchange of information (EU, 1997, 2011)

Produced figures

EU urban population exposed to air pollutant concentrations above selected EU air quality standards and WHO AQ guidelines The rationale for selection of pollutants and corresponding WHO guidelines is given in the specification section of indicator CSI 004.

Percentage of urban population resident in areas where pollutant concentrations are higher than selected limit/target values, 2000-2012 (EU-28) The rationale for selection of pollutant and corresponding limit/target values for CSI 004 is given in the justification for indicator selection.
