This paper presents an overview and analysis of air quality in Europe from 2002 to 2011. It reviews progress towards meeting the requirements EU directives, as well development European pollutant emissions over last decade. An latest findings estimates exposure urban population ecosystems pollution is also given. The evaluation status trends based on ambient measurements, conjunction with data anthropogenic their trends. covers up 38 countries, including Member States member countries...
Information on the origin of pollution constitutes an essential step air quality management as it helps identifying measures to control pollution. In this work, we review most widely used source-apportionment methods for management. Using theoretical and real-case datasets study differences among these explain why they result in very different conclusions support planning. These are a consequence intrinsic assumptions that underpin methodologies determine/limit their range applicability. We...
In this paper, the effect of lockdown measures on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Europe is analysed by a statistical model approach based generalised additive (GAM). The GAM designed to find relationships between various meteorological parameters and temporal metrics (day week, season, etc.) one hand level pollutants other. first trained measurement data from almost 2000 monitoring stations during 2015–2019 then applied same 2020, providing predictions expected concentrations absence lockdown....
The air pollution dispersion model EPISODE has been developed at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) over past several years in order to meet needs of modern quality management work urban areas. recently used as a basis exposure calculations NO x and 2 assess effects different traffic diversion measures on health well being residents Vålerenga-Ekeberg-Gamlebyen area Oslo. Here we describe some results from most recent evaluations station Nordahl Brunsgate Oslo period 1 October...
In Oslo, traffic has been one of the dominating sources air pollution in last decade. part city where most collects, two tunnels were built. A series before and after studies was carried out connection with use. Dispersion models used as a basis for estimating exposure to nitrogen dioxide particulate matter fractions. Exposure estimates based on results dispersion model providing outdoor pollutant concentrations an hourly basis. The represent receptor points square kilometre grid. assess...
Abstract. This paper presents the AirGAM 2022r1 model – an air quality trend and prediction developed at Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) in cooperation with European Environment Agency (EEA) over 2017–2021. is based on nonlinear regression GAMs generalised additive models capable of estimating trends daily measured pollutant concentrations monitoring stations, discounting effects time variations corresponding meteorological data. The has been primarily compounds NO2, O3, PM10,...
This paper presents the first outcomes of "FAIRMODE pilot" activity, aiming at improving way in which air quality models are used frame European "Air Quality Directive". Member States may use modelling, combined with measurements, to "assess" current levels and estimate future under different scenarios. In case potential exceedances Directive limit values, it is also requested that they "plan" implement emission reductions measures avoid exceedances. both "assessment" "planning", can should...
Local governments can play a key role in reducing emissions associated with local energy use. 17 Polish municipalities provided data on use and CO2 for 2015. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to calculate lifecycle impact indicators greenhouse gases, particulate matter, acidification eutrophication the annual demand each municipality. Results showed that impacts from increase almost proportionally total participating due heavy reliance fossil fuels. Analysis of two similar size be...
The European Commission and the EEA agreed to reinforce efforts improve knowledge on implementation of air quality legislation through a joint pilot project. Air Implementation Pilot run from March 2012 June 2013 aimed at better understanding challenges cities faced in implementing policy. Twelve were selected invited join One focus project was assess use models for assessment management, share experiences, identify needs further guidance. results analysis modelling practices are presented...

The temporal pattern of exposure to a specific compound may affect health in several ways. Exposure pollution can have short-term effects or long-term effects. For some compounds there is threshold under which no presumed measurable effect, whereas for other compounds, threshold. effects, the high concentration one day either increase decrease response if values same become again next day. Adaptation ozone, example, reported. Similarly, sudden peaks also possibly differ effect from those...
