Latest ETC Reports (included in homepage)

This report examines air quality trends in Europe based on a combination of in-situ observations available in the AQ e-reporting database, air quality chemical transport models (CTM) and statistical modelling/machine learning using Generalized Additive Models (GAM). We focus on providing more insight on how meteorological variability, natural factors, and emission from the main activity sectors might have influence the development in PM10, NO2 and ozone concentrations between 2000 and 2017. Documenting the long term evolution of air quality in Europe allows us also to understand the extent of improvement of detrimental impacts on human health or ecosystems.

The Environmental Noise Directive (END) sets legally binding obligations to reduce and manage environmental noise. The competent authorities have to draw up action plans for major transport sources and the largest urban areas based upon noise mapping results. This report provides an overview of the reported noise action plans up to January 2020, and the type of measures implemented to reduce environmental noise.
