Environmental information systems
The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) is a web-based register established by Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 which implements the UNECE PRTR Protocol. Article 8 of the Regulation requires the Commission with support from the EEA to have information on releases from diffuse sources where such information exists.

The set of 32 maps shows the distribution of air pollutant emissions from diffuse sources. The data is based on a scale of 5 by 5 km grid and includes details of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM10). It complements existing data on emissions from individual industrial plants included in the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR).

Landscape fragmentation Effective Mesh Size
This data is the basis of the indicator for assessing landscape fragmentation due to urban and transport expansion, considering major roads only. The computation is based on the method of Effective Mesh Size. The effective mesh size (meff) can be interpreted as the area that is accessible to animals when starting a movement at a randomly chosen point inside a landscape without encountering a physical barrier. The meff expresses the probability that any two points chosen randomly in an area are connected, that is, not separated by the barriers of a Fragmentation Geometry (FG) such as transport routes or built-up areas. Hence, meff is a measure of landscape connectivity, i.e. the degree to which movements between different parts of the landscape are possible. The meff is measured as an area (km2), within the cells of a 1 km2 regular grid as reporting units.
Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas
The datasets represents multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe Seas. The datasets were prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 'Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas' available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas-1.
Combined effects of pressures on marine species and habitats in ...
This data presents the potential combined effects of human activities and pressures on marine species and habitats estimated using the method for assessment of cumulative effects, for the entire suite of pressures and a selected set of marine species groups and habitats by an index. The raster dataset consists of a division of the Europe's seas in 10km and 100 km grid cells, which values represents the combined effects index values for pressures caused by human activities. The relative values indicate areas where the pressures potentially affect the marine ecosystem.
