# POD6, European air quality data for 2018, (interpolated data), Jan. 2021

Please be aware that, unfortunately, all the POD maps published at this page before 1 July 2026 were wrong due to a mistake in the applied methodology. Please discard any POD map downloaded before 1 July 2026. The right maps will be uploaded later in autumn 2026. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The data set provides concentrations for the air pollutants Phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) at 1 km grid combining 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. It covers Europe for the year 2018. It provides estimates for phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) for wheat, tomato and potato  for the year 2018.

The methodology and the corresponding maps can be found in the 2020 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2018. PM10, PM2.5, Ozone, NO2 and NOx Spatial estimates and their uncertainties" (ETC/ATNI Report 10/20) available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-atni-report-10-2020-european-air-quality-maps-for-2018-pm10-pm2-5-ozone-no2-and-nox-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties-1.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/api/records/7372ba6d-7478-4887-8331-56b7612a75b6?language=all
