People of low social status can be more heavily exposed to traffic and traffic-related air pollutants than people of a higher social status.
Projected chemicals production by region (in sales) Baseline 2010–2050. China is included in the BRIICS data, but has also been singled out to show its share in the BRIICS projected chemical production.
The figures shows the level of PCB in A) Grey seals B) White-tailed sea eagle eggs C) Guillemot eggs D) Baltic Herring in the Baltic region between 1970 and 2010
The red dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2005 annual limit value (40 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of a statistically derived level (31 μg/m3) corresponding to the 24–hour limit value, as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The pale green dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 of less than 20 μg/m3 but not in exceedance of limit values as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The dark green dots indicate stations reporting concentrations below the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 and implicitly below the limit values as set out in the Air Quality Directive.
The figures show the amount of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) that has been collected from private households in European countries, stated in kg/capita. The figures are related to the EU collection target of 4 kg/capita/year. Values are related to 2006, 2008 and 2010.
The figure shows the trend in the amount of WEEE that has been reused and recycled in European countries, stated in kg/capita.
The figure shows the amount of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) that has been put on the market, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collected in total, collected from private households and reused and recycled in European countries, stated in kg/capita. The figures are related to the collection target of 4 kg/capita/year. Values are related to 2010.
The red dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2010 annual target value (25 μg/m3) plus at least 5 μg/m3. The dark orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2010 annual target value (25 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The orange dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the 2020 indicative annual limit value (20 μg/m3), as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The pale green dots indicate stations reporting exceedances of the WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5 of less than 10 μg/m3 but not in exceedance of target or limit values for PM2.5 as set out in the Air Quality Directive. The dark green dots indicate stations reporting concentrations below the WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5 and implicitly below the target and limit values for PM2.5 as set out in the Air Quality Directive
The map shows the proximity of measured O3 concentrations to the target value set in the European Union's Air Quality Directive. At sites marked with dark orange and red dots, the daily maximum 8-hour mean O3 concentration exceeds the 120 μg/m3 threshold on more than 25 days per year (the policy target is set at max. 25 days of exceedance per year, averaged over 3 years).
Assessing health benefits from the reduction of air pollution — the Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) study
Assessing health benefits from the reduction of air pollution — the Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) study
Lombardy (Italy) and Malopolska (Poland) are two highly polluted regions in Europe, where residential heating by solid fuel combustion (wood in Italy, and coal in Poland) in small appliances is still common.
