This report is based upon data submitted to the European Commission under Directive 92/72/EEC on air pollution by ozone. In this topic report, the annual 1998 and summer 1999 reports as presented to the Commission are reproduced here in an updated version. New information which became available...

This report provides an overview and analysis of the air pollution situation in Europe in the year 2000 and the preceding decade. It is based on indicators for underlying driving forces, emissions, air quality, deposition of pollutants and the effectiveness of policies and measures. The report...

The main objective of the present study is to analyse and quantify the effects that certain past policy measures in the road transport and industrial combustion facilities have had on the magnitude of air pollutant emissions and subsequent air quality in Europe. The policies selected are the...

Recent efforts to improve the integrated assessment approach to air pollution and greenhouse gases are documented in this report. Among other things, the study evaluates the methodologies used in the baseline scenario developed for the EEA's report Environment in the European Union at the Turn...

This report provides a first evaluation of ground-level ozone pollution in Europe during spring and summer 2001. Based on data submitted to the European Commission under the EU Directive on air pollution by ozone, it details observed exceedances of the Directive's thresholds for information 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.

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...

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...
