Air pollution

Average occurrence (the number of exceedance per station) per region for stations, which reported at least one exceedance, observed during the year

North-western Europe: United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France north of 45 degrees latitude; Central and eastern Europe: Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Switzerland; Southern Europe: France south of 45 degrees latitude, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Greece, Cyprus and Malta; Northern Europe has not been included in this figure because of the low number of exceedances.

Frequency distribution of concentrations in excess of the 1-hour information threshold.

Presented as Box-Jenkins plots indicating the minimum, the 25th percentile, the 75th percentile and the maximum value.

Exceedance of the critical loads for acidification in Europe (as average accumulated exceedances), 2004

This map shows areas in Europe where ecosystems are exposed to atmospheric loads of acidity (sulphur plus nitrogen compounds) that are greater than the critical load for the most sensitive ecosystem in each 50 x 50 grid cell.

Change in Particulate (Primary and Secondary) emissions for each sector and pollutant between 1990 and 2006

No data available for Iceland.

EU 15 and EU-27 past and projected greenhouse gas emissions from waste (1990-2005)

For Italy, sectoral WAM projections had to be gap-filled to calculate EU15 greenhouse gas projections

Emissions of SOx in 2005

Absolute gaps (over-delivery or shortfall) between greenhouse gas projections and 2010 targets for EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries

Except for Switzerland and Norway, the use of Kyoto mechanisms is not accounted for in this figure

Ozone SOMO35, 2005

Change in EU-10 emissions of greenhouse gases by sector and gas 1990-2003

Percentage changes in emissions of acidifying substances (SO2, NOX and NH3) over the period 1990 to 2004, and comparison with NEC Directive targets

Ozone exposure of ecosystems, in terms of AOT40, 2004

Shares by sector in EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions in 2005

Emissions from the energy supply and use sector include emissions from energy supply industries, fugitive emissions, emissions from energy use in industry and other emissions from energy use

Left panels: observed and modelled PM10 concentrations. Right panels: ratio of the maximum modelled yearly concentrations for 2002-2003 to 1997-2001

Left column: Model calculations evaluated two cases: 1) reported real emissions and 2) constant emissions, i.e

Emission trends of NH3 for EEA-32

No data available for Iceland

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

Since sectoral emission projections for Germany were not available, greenhouse gas projections for the EU-15 are calculated on the basis of projections reported by 14 Member States

Ozone 26th highest maximum daily 8-hour average 2004

Combined rural and urban concentration map of the 26th highest daily maximum 8-hour ozone average, 2004.

Yearly allowance allocations for the period 2005 to 2007 compared to CO2 emissions of the trading sector in 2003, and relative emission change in 2005-2007 compared to 2003

The CO2 emissions of the trading sector were calculated on the assumption that the share of the trading sector in the Member States total CO2 emissions will not change until 2007
