In view of upcoming more stringent air quality limits and the ambition to align with the WHO guidelines, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution from traffic and other sources will remain a problem in the EU. To assess the impact of traffic measures and emission reductions...
While concentrations of most air pollutants have been decreasing in Europe over the last 20 years, O3 is showing variable trends, with increasing average and decreasing peak concentrations. The complexity of O3 chemistry adds to the difficulty of understanding both...
Report no. 10/23: Aviation causes emissions of NOx, SO2 and PM that have a negative impact on air quality. To investigate the extent of this impact, simulations with the chemical transport model (CTM) LOTOS-EUROS (LE) have been performed to model the atmospheric...
This article presents the results of a modelling study carried out to examine how concentrations of key air pollutants (i.e. nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3)) would vary under different emission reduction scenarios, and to assess how...
Report no. 3/23: The European Commission (EC) is currently in the process of revising the EU Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) Directives with the aim to set more strict ambient air quality standards (AAQS) in order to align them more closely with the World Health...
