Effect of the EU Emission Trading Scheme in 2010 according to three calculation methods

Carbon monoxide 2006. 8 hour mean limit value for the protection of human health

Percentage changes in eutrophying nitrogen emissions

Changes in EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions by sector and shares of sectors

Several Member States did not report projections for all sectors/scenarios

EU-15 and EU-27 greenhouse gas emissions from transport compared with transport volumes (passenger transport by car and freight transport by road) (1990-2005)

To calculate EU15 greenhouse gas projections, sectoral WAM projections for France and Italy had to be gap-filled

PM10 in cities, 2000

Hot-spot stations (traffic, industrial), 36th highest daily value

Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value (May-July). Average values over all stations, which reported data over at least six years in the period 1996-2002.

The ends of bars indicate the 10th and 90th percentile values.

Zone exceedances of the annual limit value NO2 year, 2005

Zone exceedances of the annual limit value NO2, 2005, reported under Annual report (questionnaire) on air quality assessment and management (2004/461/EC).

Change in emissions of acidifying substances compared with the 2010 NECD targets (EU-15 and EFTA-3)

PM10 annual average inter-annual variations, 1997-2004 at selected urban background stations

Only cities where measurements were available at two stations over the whole period 19972004 were selected (> 70 % data coverage annually).

Total particulate emissions by economic sector for EEA country groupings in 2004, and contributions from each sector and pollutant to total change since 1990

Fossils fuels developments (2000-2030, Baseline, Low economic growth and Low GHG emissions scenarios)

Change in emission of primary and secondary fine particles 1990-2004 (%), (EU-15 and EFTA-3)

Relative gaps (over-delivery or shortfall) between greenhouse gas projections and 2010 targets for EU-15 Member States

For all EU15 Member States projections assume existing and additional domestic policies and measures were available, but for some Member States projections did not change compared to last year's, or updates were taken from NAPs

PM2.5/PM10 emissions ratios, total and for road transport

Deposition of sulphur in the Black Triangle, 1997

Actual and projected greenhouse gas emissions aggregated for new Member States

Past GHG emissions include the eight new Member States which have Kyoto target (not Cyprus and Malta)

EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions and projections for the Kyoto period 2008-2012

Note: The full effect of the EU Emission Trading Scheme is not reflected in all Member States´; projections.

Emissions of ozone precursors

The 'with measures' (WM) projections reported by Member States take into account currently implemented and adopted policies and measures

Sector split of emissions of acidifying pollutants (EU-15)

Change in emissions of ozone precursors (NOx and NMVOC only) compared with the 2010 NECD and Gothenburg protocol targets

Gothenburg protocol targets are shown for the non-EU countries

Percentage reduction in observed annual sulphur deposition from 1990/92 to 1998/2000
