Page Last modified 08 Dec 2022

This section of the zero pollution monitoring assessment presents a series of short case studies that highlight additional sources of information on pollution from production and consumption. Studies are presented on each of the production and consumption components, namely resource extraction, production, consumption and waste management.

Introduction

The EEA zero pollution monitoring assessment is mainly based on formal, official EU-wide data sets and indicators. To broaden the assessment, other sources of information are also examined. These sources include findings from research, country-level information and other information that may help highlight pollution issues that are insufficiently addressed by legislative or other reporting. This section of the zero pollution monitoring assessment presents a series of short case studies that highlight some of these additional sources of information. We refer to these as ‘Signals’.

The Signals below align with the subsections of the production and consumption section of the assessment and deal with extraction, production, consumption and waste management.

A brief assessment on key knowledge gaps for each of these topic areas is also presented (Figure 1).
