Do something for our planet, print this page only if needed. Even a small action can make an enormous difference when millions of people do it!
Different types of schemes cannot really be compared hence the graph is divided into the classification types used (biological, physico-chemical, combined)
The emissions of acidifying pollutants (SO2, NOX and NH3) are each weighted by an acid equivalency factor prior to aggregation to represent their respective acidification potentials
Countries are sorted by regional grouping (EU-15, EU-12, other EEA countries and Croatia) and ranked by projected change between 2006 and 2010 resulting from both existing and additional measures.
The number of groundwater monitoring bodies in each country is given in brackets
Gothenburg protocol targets are shown for the non-EU countries (Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway)
NEC Directive targets are applied on LRTAP Convention data.

The figure indicates 'potential exposure' as estimates are based on the assumption of exposure for a person permanently in ambient air(i.e
This graph shows the evolution of GHG emissions between 1990 and 2004 and the total projected emissions by 2010 in the EU-15 Member States.
Average household combined sewage and water bills, except for Germany and Luxembourg where data are only to public water supply
The energy supply sector includes coal, oil and gas exploration and extraction, public electricity and heat production, refineri
The targets for 2010 are the Gothenburg Protocol target (December 1999) and the more recent National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) Common Position targets (June 2000) for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and ammonia
