The graph above shows the emissions of ozone precursors (methane CH4; carbon monoxide CO; nonmethane volatile organic compounds NMVOCs; and nitrogen oxides NOX) each weighted by a factor prior to aggregation to represent their respective tropospheric ozone formation potential (TOFP)
The orange bars show the factors that have an increasing effect on emissions and the green bars show the factors that have a reducing effect
The targets for 2010 are the Gothenburg Protocol target (December 1999) and the more recent NECD Common Position targets (June 2000) for the EU and individual countries for non-methane volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides individually
