The report examines the potential regular production of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) maps at the European scale in line with the operational production of other air quality maps. Stations measuring BaP are relatively scarce at the European scale, so in order to extend the spatial coverage, so-called pseudo station data have been calculated and used together with the actual BaP measurement data. These pseudo station data are derived from PM2.5 or PM10 measurements in locations with no BaP observations.

The European Ambient Air Quality Directives (AAQD) have the overall objective to protect human health and the environment from ambient air pollution. This report provides an overview of air quality plans and measures reported for areas where the standards of air quality specified by the AAQD were not attained. The results are based on the reported data from 2014 to November 2020 by 23 countries to the EEA.
