This report provides an overview of the state of air quality in 13 central and eastern European countries involved in the European Union's Phare Programme. Based on EUROAIRNET monitoring network data for 1997 as reported by these countries, it also provides information on emission sources and...

Summary of a draft report to the European Commission giving a preliminary evaluation of ozone pollution across Europe in spring and summer 2003. The report is based on data provided up to 15 September by countries in the framework of Council Directive 92/72/EEC on air pollution by ozone.

An overview and evaluation of the air quality in Europe in 1999 and its development in the preceding decade are presented in this report. It covers the European area, including the 18 initial EEA member countries as well as 13 Phare countries in central and eastern Europe. The report addresses...

An analysis of trends in emissions of the main air pollutants in EU Member States and Candidate Counties between 1990 and 1999 is presented in this report. Emissions data are shown and analysed by country and economic sector. They are also compared with agreed international emission ceilings and...

In summer 2004, the levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 µg/m3), as laid down in the ozone directive (2002/3/EC). The exceedances of the information threshold were similar to earlier years, except for...

Traffic-related air pollution is still one of the most pressing problems in urban areas. Evidence of the adverse health effects of fine particulate matter is continuously emerging and it is alarming that most of the traffic-related emissions are in the fine particulates range ( PM2.5). Human...

In summer of 2005 levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 micro g/m3) laid down in the ozone directive (2002/3/EC). The frequency of exceedances of the information threshold was similar to earlier years, except...

In summer 2006, levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe and north-western Europe, with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 μg/m3, Directive 2002/3/EC). The frequency of these exceedances was higher than those in previous years, though not as high as...

This inventory report accompanies the annual emission inventory submission of the European Community to the UNECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution. The report presents an overview of air pollutant emission data reported by the EU-27 Member States between the years 1990 to...

The National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) sets pollutant-specific emission ceilings for each country to be met by 2010. It also lays down the requirements for the Member States of the European Union to compile and report their national inventories, projections and programmes. As part of...
