# POD, European air quality data for 2021 (interpolated data), July 2026

The data set provides values for the vegetation related indicator of O3 POD (phytotoxic ozone dose) at 2 km resolution grid (the complete POD calculation has been executed in 0.1° resolution) 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 2021

Please be aware that, unfortunately, all the POD maps published for year 2021 at https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/fe1a1977-c2bb-451f-971b-28275a8dd516 before 1 July 2026 were wrong due to a mistake in the applied methodology. Please discard any POD map downloaded before 1 July 2026 at that page and consider as valid ones the maps in this page. Sorry for the inconveniencehttps://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/api/records/aceca1fe-b34a-4119-81ba-9444bcb4a266?language=all
