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 10μm; SO_x, sulphur oxides. GVA is used as a proxy for the economic activity of industry in Europe, accounting for inflation, based on 2010 values.
