Notes:
(a) In the report, for PM2.5, calculations have been made using a counterfactual concentration (C0) of 0 μg/m3, as in previous years and a C0 of 2.5 μg/m3 to take into account the estimated European background concentration. For NO2, calculations have been made using C0 values of 20 and 10 μg/m3 (see explanations in the main text of the report).
(b) Under the UN Security Council Resolution 1244/99.
(c) Total and EU-28 figures are rounded to the nearest thousand (except for ozone, nearest hundred). The national totals to the nearest 10.
(d) Includes the areas of the Republic of Cyprus not under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus.
(e) The annual mean (in μg/m3) and the SOMO35 (in μg/m3 .days), expressed as population weighted concentration, is obtained according to the methodology described by ETC/ACM (2017b) and not only from monitoring stations.
