Methodology:: Past emissions reported by countries to the UNECE CLRTAP Convention and EEA, and for WB countries from UNECE/EMEP estimates. 2010 projections data reported by EU Member States under the EU’s National Emission Ceiling Directive. 2020 outlooks calculated from the GAINS model (IIASA) on the basis of the PRIMES2010 energy scenario. Outlooks shown include a) a 2020 ‘current policy’ baseline, b) the emission reduction required in 2020 in order that the EU-27 achieve the environmental objectives of the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution (TSAP) and c) the maximum reduction case (MRR) in 2020.

Air pollution — SOER 2010 thematic assessment

Air pollution — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Emissions of air pollutants derive from almost all economic and societal activities. They result in clear risks to human health and ecosystems. In Europe, policies and actions at all levels have greatly reduced anthropogenic emissions and exposure but some air pollutants still harm human health. Similarly, as emissions of acidifying pollutants have reduced, the situation for Europe's rivers and lakes has improved but atmospheric nitrogen oversupply still threatens biodiversity in sensitive terrestrial and water ecosystems. The movement of atmospheric pollution between continents attracts increasing political attention. Greater international cooperation, also focusing on links between climate and air pollution policies, is required more than ever to address air pollution.
