Figure Exceedances of air quality objectives due to traffic measured in traffic stations and background stations The figure shows the annual mean and back ground concentrations of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 observed at traffic stations in 2013. The two highest PM10 concentration classes (dark orange and light orange) correspond to the 2005 annual LV (40 μg/m3) and to a statistically derived level (31 μg/m3) corresponding to the 2005 daily LV. The lowest class corresponds to the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 of 20 μg/m3.
Figure Annual mean concentrations of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel), 2011 The four maps shows the annual mean concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel in the year 2011
Figure Annual mean benzene concentrations The map shows the annual mean benzene concentrations in 2011, based on annual averages with percentage of valid measurements >= 50% in μg/m3

Used in publications

Publication Air quality in Europe — 2013 report This report presents an overview and analysis of air quality in Europe from 2002 to 2011. It reviews progress towards meeting the requirements of the air quality directives and gives an overview of policies and measures introduced at European level to improve air quality and minimise impacts. An overview of the latest findings and estimates of the effects of air pollution on health and its impacts on ecosystems is also given.
Publication Air Implementation Pilot - Lessons learnt from the implementation of air quality legislation at urban level Almost three quarters of Europeans live in cities. The air quality in our cities is therefore of significant importance to the health of Europeans. Considerable progress has been made in the past twenty years in improving urban air quality, but issues remain. A number of different air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and ozone remain above regulated levels, posing a threat to human health. This report describes a European pilot project to help identify and address the reasons underlying this 'gap' in implementation of air quality policy in 12 European cities, and thereby draw lessons of wider relevance.
