EEA geospatial data catalogue
POD, European air quality data for 2023 (interpolated data), June 2025
The data set provides concentrations for the ozone indicator Phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) at 2 km2 grid for beech, spruce, wheat, tomato and potato, combining monitoring air quality data, chemical transport model results and other supplementary data in a ‘regression-interpolation-merging mapping’ methodology. It covers Europe for the year 2023.
This data set is used to estimate vegetation exposure to air pollution. The methodology can be found in the 2024 ETC HE report 2024/4 "Air quality maps of EEA member and cooperating countries for 2021. PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2, NOx and BaP spatial estimates and their uncertainties.", available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-he/products/etc-he-products/etc-he-reports/etc-he-report-2024-4-air-quality-maps-of-eea-member-and-cooperating-countries-for-2022-pm10-pm2-5-o3-no2-nox-and-bap-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties (the corresponding 2025 report with the 2023 maps will be published at the end of 2025).

- Statement
-
The data set and corresponding maps are derived primarily from the e-reporting Air Quality database, consisting of monitoring stations data reported to EEA, and some additional EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) station monitoring data, supplemented with, among others, altitude, meteorological ECMWF data, EMEP concentration modelling data and satellite data. These data sets and the corresponding 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.
The methodology and the corresponding maps can be found in the 2021 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2019. PM10, PM2.5, Ozone, NO2 and NOx Spatial estimates and their uncertainties" (ETC/ATNI Report 1/2021) available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-atni-report-1-2021-european-air-quality-maps-for-2019-pm10-pm2-5-ozone-no2-and-nox-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties; the references therein; and the successive Eionet reports for the following years available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/all-etc-reports .
