Tropospheric ozone impacts agricultural crop and timber production, with significant economic effects for the sector. In the early 2000’s the PODy (phytotoxic ozone dose above a threshold y) indicator for calculating this impact was proposed by the expert group IPC-Vegetation working in support of the Air Convention. Within the ETC/ATNI, annual production of PODy maps has started in 2020. In this report we have implemented an impact modelling chain to quantify and monetize the loss in wheat production due to tropospheric ozone exposure for 2019. We also studied the sensitivity of the results to the degree of spatialization of the input data.

This report presents European air quality maps for 2019, as well as the relevant exposure estimates for health related and vegetation related indicators. It also summarizes exposure estimates in the period 2005–2019. The report provides and documents background materials (maps, exposure estimates) for the European Environment Agency’s Air Quality in Europe 2021 online report.
