Air pollution

Passenger and freight transport demand for EU-25

Percentage of the urban population in EEA-32 potentially exposed to pollutant concentrations over selected limit/target values

Ozone exposure of agricultural crops in EEA-32 relative to target levels

EU 15 and EU-27 past and projected greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and gross value added (1990-2005)

Gross value added is the difference between output and intermediate consumption for any given sector, i.e

PM10, inter-annual variations, 1997-2004, 36th highest daily value per year

Street = 28 stations, Urban = 59 stations, Rural = 17 stations

Changes (%) in primary and secondary PM emissions from 1990 to 2004

Total energy consumption and final electricity demand vs. GDP growth 1990-2030

Development of gross inland energy consumption and energy related CO2 emissions according to different scenarios - EU-25

EEA reprojected EMEP grid

"EEA has reprojected the grid used by EMEP for analyses on air emissions (150*150 km2 and 50*50 km2 grids covering Europe)

PM10 concentrations in Europe 2004 showing the 36th highest daily value

The figures were constructed by combining rural and urban maps using population density

Annual variation in the ozone AOT40 value (May-July)

Average values over all rural stations which reported data over at least six years in the period 1996-2004

NEC Directive targets are applied on LRTAP Convention data.

Change in emissions of acidifying substances compared with the 2010 NECD targets (EU-10)

Ozone at rural stations, 2000

26th highest daily eight-hour max value

Atmospheric Kyoto greenhouse gas concentration (in CO2-equivalents) between 1990 and 2100

Baseline (blue line), EEA climate action scenario (green line), compared with four IPCC (SRES) scenario's (described in IPCC's Special Report on Emissions Scenario's, 2000) (grey lines).

Observed depositions of lead and zinc to the North Sea

Urban population exposure to pollution levels above EU limit values

Changes in EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions by gas and by sector base year-2004

Exceedance of critical loads for eutrophying nitrogen in 1996

Average occurrence of exceedances for stations, which reported at least one exceedance, by EU region

Polycyclic musks in bream muscles from the river Rhine

In this case Galaxolide

Past and projected EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions compared with Kyoto target for 2008-2012

The EU15 target including Kyoto mechanisms and sinks is based on an estimated projected use of Kyoto mechanisms and activities under Article 3.3 and 3.4 (carbon sinks)

Percentage of ecosystems protected from acidification, 2000

Days exceeding the target value as 3-year average 2002-2004

In 2004 urban/suburban background areas provided 44 % of stations, rural background areas 24 %, traffic sites 18 %, 9 %, industrial, and 5 % not properly classified.
