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!
% of population exposed, year 2002 Blank histograms means no exposure
Single years (thin lines) and 20-year smoothed mean (bold lines)
Deviations of winter and summer sea surface temperature in the North Sea
Positive values indicate increase and negative values indicate decrease of annaul and winter temperature in degrees Celsius
Note: Summer precipitation change (%)
Sites of major technological accidents (1998-2002)
Note: The observed time periods differ between stations.
Note: number of days the 65 μg/m3, 24 hour threshold value was exceeded, observed at background stations in whole year 1995.
Note: the Commission assessment is based on a (non-exhaustive) review on available information on waters with excessive nitrate concentrations threatened with eutrophication.
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 non-methane volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides
This graph shows past (1990-2004) and projected (2010) emissions due to transport, and compares them with transport volumes (passenger transport by car and freight transport by road).
Luxembourg not included due to data inconsistencies
Note: daylight hours in May, June and July 1995.
Population trends between 1991 and 2001 showing the results by NUTS3 using 4 different classes where to decrease or increase the population.
The model indicates a clear gradient over Europe: summertime concentrations ranging from 60 mg/m3 in the northern part to more than 100 mg/m3 in the central part and in the Mediterranean region (1 ppb O3 >> 2 mg/m3).
