Additional information

GVA, gross value added; NMVOC, non-methane volatile organic compound; NO_x, nitrogen oxides; PM₁₀, particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 μm; SO_x, sulphur oxides.
EU-27, the Member States of the EU as of 2021.
GVA is used as a proxy for the economic activity of industry in Europe, accounting for inflation and based on 2010 values.
Germany, Lithuania and Slovakia did not report any data from 2017; Italy and Malta did not report any data for 2020. In these cases, the most recent data available have been used to populate the emissions trend.
