European air quality data for 2016 (interpolated data and station points), Apr. 2019

The data set provides the EEA 1 km and 2 km grids combining the monitoring air quality data in a ‘regression-interpolation-merging mapping’ methodology and the observational values of the air quality monitoring stations used in the interpolation. The full data set covers Europe for the year 2016, and in particular for the pollutants PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2 and NOx.



This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator CSI005 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports. The methodology and the maps themselves can be found in the 2018 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2016" at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-acm-report-2018-8-european-air-quality-maps-for-2016. The data set for download also includes the maps in TIFF format present in the reports .

      Statement

      The maps are derived primarily from the e-reporting AQ database, consisting of monitoring stations data reported to EEA, and some additional EMEP station monitoring data, supplemented with altitude, meteorological ECMWF data and EMEP concentration modelling data. These maps are assessment tools for use at the European scale. They may show results which differ from assessments made at national scale and should not be used to check formal compliance with regulated standards. More information: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-acm-report-2018-8-european-air-quality-maps-for-2016.
