# POD, European air quality data for 2020 (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 2020.

Please be aware that, unfortunately, all the POD maps published for year 2020 at https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/0a84ffa2-d661-4fae-a4c0-474281820f2e 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/008afff0-4cf0-40a6-a500-ad743ab7ab68?language=all
