Methodology:

For CO, NO_x, NMVOCs, SO_x, NH₃, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5, data officially reported to the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP)/LRTAP Convention were used. For CH₄ and N₂O data officially reported under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and also under the Kyoto Protocol (KP) were used.

Where a complete time series of emission data has not been reported for CO, NO_x, NMVOCs, SO_x, NH₃, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5, data have been gap filled according to the methodologies of the European Environment Agency's (EEA's) European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC). Details of the gap-filling procedure for the air pollutant data set are described in the EU emission inventory report 1990-2019 under the UNECE's Convention on LRTAP (EEA Technical Report No 5/2021). Similarly, for CH₄ and N₂O additional information on the gap-filling procedure can be found in the Annual European Union greenhouse gas inventory 1990–2020 and inventory report 2022 Submission to the UNFCCC Secretariat.
