Annual report of air quality measurements in Austria 2009
Description
The annual report of the Federal Environment Agency is based on the measurements of the offices of the state governments and the Federal Environment Agency and provides an overview of the air quality situation in Austria. In 2009, numerous exceedances of ozone and the limit and target values of the Air Pollution Control Act for particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were registered; occasionally also for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), benzo(a)pyrene and dust precipitation. The limit and target values for carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, cadmium and nickel in PM10 and for benzene were met. Exceedances of limit values for NO2 occurred mainly on busy roads, for particulate matter especially in larger cities. Due to the favourable weather conditions, the exposure to ozone, sulphur dioxide and PM10 in 2009 was exceptionally low, compared with many years ago.
