pm10, European air quality data for 2017, (interpolated data), Jan. 2020
Description
The data set provides concentrations for the air pollutants PM10 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 2017. It provides estimates for human health related indicators of pollutants PM10 (annual average, 90.4 percentile of daily means) for the year 2017.
This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator CSI005 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports. The methodology and the maps themselves can be found in the 2019 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2017" available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-atni-report-9-2019-european-air-quality-maps-for-2017-pm10-pm2-5-ozone-no2-and-nox-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties.
