The rationale for selection of pollutant and corresponding limit/target values for CSI 004 is given in the justification for indicator selection. Only urban and sub-urban background monitoring stations have been included in the calculations. Data for Cyprus, Luxembourg and Malta, are not included due to the geographical coverage of the Urban Audit.

Additional information

Limit values/targets

  • A limit value for PM10 of 50 microgram/m3 (24 hour average, i.e. daily), not to be exceeded more than 35 times a calendar year and to be met by 2005.
  • An annual mean limit value for nitrogen dioxide of 40 microgram NO2/m3 and to be met by 2010.
  • A target value for ozone of 120 microgram O3/m3 as daily maximum of 8 hour mean, not to be exceeded more than 25 days per calendar year, averaged over three years and to be achieved where possible by 2010.
  • A limit value for sulphur dioxide of 125 microgram SO2/m3 as a daily average, not to be exceeded more than three times a calendar year and to be met by 2005.
