European air quality data for 2019 (interpolated data and station points), Mar. 2022

The data set provides air pollutants concentrations at 1 km and 2 km grids 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 2019. It provides estimates for human health related indicators of pollutants PM10 (annual average, 90.4 percentile of daily means), PM2.5 (annual average), ozone (93.2 percentile of maximum daily 8-hour means, SOMO35, SOMO10) and NO2 (annual average), and vegetation related ozone indicators (AOT40 for vegetation and for forests) for the year 2019. The data set contains also Phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) for wheat, tomato and potato and NOx annual average grids for 2019. This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator AIR004 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to ozone: https://www.eea.europa.eu/ims/exposure-of-europes-ecosystems-to-ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports (https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications#c7=en&c11=5&c14=air-quality-reports&c12=&b_start=0). The methodology and the corresponding maps can be found in the 2021 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2019. PM10, PM2.5, Ozone, NO2 and NOx Spatial estimates and their uncertainties" (ETC/ATNI Report 1/2021) available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-atni-report-1-2021-european-air-quality-maps-for-2019-pm10-pm2-5-ozone-no2-and-nox-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties This data set includes the station values and the gridded interpolated values in Shapefile format and the interpolated values in OVR and GeoTIFF formats. It can also be downloaded in Spatialite-Rasterlite. For convenience, the data set also includes the maps in TIFF and PNG format included in the report.
