Observed concentrations of PM10 in 2018. The possibility of subtracting contributions to the measured concentrations from natural sources and winter road sanding/salting has not been considered. Dots in the last two colour categories indicate stations reporting concentrations above the EU annual limit value (40 μg/m3). Dots in the first colour category indicate stations reporting values below the WHO AQG for PM10 (20 μg/m3). Only stations with more than 75 % of valid data have been included in the map.
Observed concentrations of O3 in 2019. The data presented were reported as up-to-date (UTD) data and therefore should be considered as not validated. They are used for the purpose of providing a preliminary assessment of the situation in 2019 in relation to the O3 target value. The map shows the 93.2 percentile of the O3 maximum daily 8-hour mean, representing the 26th highest value in a complete series. It is related to the O3 target value. At sites marked with triangles in the last two colour categories, the 26th highest daily O3 concentrations were above the 120 μg/m3 threshold, implying an exceedance of the target value threshold. Please note that the legal definition of the target value considers not only 1 year but the average over 3 years. Only stations with more than 75 % of valid UTD data have been included in the map.
Observed concentrations of PM2.5 in 2019. The data presented were reported as up-to-date (UTD) data and therefore should be considered as not validated. They are used for the purpose of providing a preliminary assessment of the situation in 2019 in relation to the PM2.5 annual limit value. Furthermore, the possibility of subtracting contributions to the measured concentrations from natural sources and winter road sanding/salting has not been considered. Triangles in the last two colour categories indicate stations reporting concentrations above the EU annual limit value (25 μg/m3). Triangles in the first colour category indicate stations reporting values below the WHO AQG for PM2.5 (10 μg/m3). Only stations with more than 75 % of valid UTD data have been included in the map.
Observed concentrations of PM10 in 2019. The data presented were reported as up-to-date (UTD) data and therefore should be considered as not validated. They are used for the purpose of providing a preliminary assessment of the situation in 2019 in relation to the PM10 daily limit value. Furthermore, the possibility of subtracting contributions to the measured concentrations from natural sources and winter road sanding/salting has not been considered. The map shows the 90.4 percentile of the PM10 daily mean concentrations, representing the 36th highest value in a complete series. It is related to the PM10 daily limit value, allowing 35 exceedances of the 50 μg/m3 threshold over 1 year. Triangles in the last two colour categories indicate stations with concentrations above this daily limit value. Only stations with more than 75 % of valid UTD data have been included in the map.
