    Nitrogen Dioxide Exceeds EU annual limit values

Nitrogen dioxide pollution

NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) annual mean level is 46.8 µg/m3, which is above EU quality limit set to 40 µg/m3.

Particulate matter pollution

PM10 (10 micrometre particulate matter) annual mean level is 24.9 µg/m3, which is below EU quality limit set to 40 µg/m3.

PM2.5 (2.5 micrometre particulate matter) annual mean level is 14.8 µg/m3, which is below EU quality limit set to 25 µg/m3.

PM10d (days exceeding daily PM10 mean limit of 50 µg/m3) is approximately 12 days pear year, which is below the quality limit set to 35 days per year.

PM2.5 and PM10 are atmospheric particulate matter with a diameter smaller than respectively 10, 2.5 microns. They are also called floating dust. Long-term exposure to increased levels of PM2.5 and PM10 may trigger or worsen chronic diseases such as asthma, heart attack, bronchitis and other respiratory problems.
