Temperature inversion traps pollution at ground level
-
Pollution events are more likely to occur under temperature inversion conditions. During extended periods of high pressure in winter months, solar radiation reaches the ground, warming it up. At night, the lack of cloud cover means the ground loses heat rapidly and the air in contact with the ground becomes colder. The warmer air rises and acts as a lid trapping the colder air close to the ground. Pollution, including that from road traffic is also trapped, so the air layer closest to the ground becomes more and more polluted. This continues until the prevailing meteorological conditions change.

Monitoring progress of Europe's transport sector towards its environment, health and climate objectives
-
The ‘Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism’ (TERM) includes a number of indicators used for tracking the short and long-term environmental performance of the transport sector in the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU-28). This briefing presents the latest indicator-based assessment of progress being made towards key transport-related policy targets and objectives.

Car and van manufacturers meet CO2 emission targets for 2016
-
All car and van manufacturers met their carbon dioxide (CO2) specific emission targets in 2016, based on current European vehicle test rules, but they will need to continue their efforts to meet future agreed-to cuts. These are the findings of the latest report tracking progress on CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars and vans published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Technological solutions and behavioural change needed to decarbonise transport
-
While the transport sector contributes significantly to society and the economy it also can cause substantial adverse impacts on the environment, global climate and human health. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) analyses key environmental trends with a view to identifying what has improved and what has hampered the past performance of the transport sector.

Curbing CO2 emissions from road transport
-
Road transport generates about one fifth of the EU's CO2 emissions, with passenger cars responsible for around 12%. This makes it the second most important source of greenhouse gases. Although there have been significant improvements over recent years in vehicle technology, these have not been enough to neutralise the effect of increases in traffic and car size.

Monitoring CO2 emissions from new passenger cars in the EU: summary of data for 2011
-
For the second year, the EEA has collected Member
States' data on passenger car registrations, in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 443/2009
(CO2 from cars). All Member States reported
information on CO2 emissions and the mass of cars,
together with other vehicle characteristics. This
data was used to evaluate the performance in 2011
of the new vehicle fleet, and its progress toward
meeting the CO2 emissions target of 130 gCO2/km
by 2015.
