Near real time concentration of pollutants in ambient air, measured at ground-level by monitoring stations in Europe and transmitted to EEA by national and regional air quality networks (http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/air/air-quality/resources/who-provides-the-air-quality-data). All pollutants might not be monitored at all stations. The measurements are preliminary and may be changed at any time by the data providers following their quality control procedures. The measurements may not be used for compliance purposes.

AirBase is the European air quality database maintained by the EEA through its European topic centre on Air pollution and Climate Change mitigation. It contains air quality monitoring data and information submitted by participating countries throughout Europe. The air quality database consists of a multi-annual time series of air quality measurement data and statistics for a number of air pollutants. It also contains meta-information on those monitoring networks involved, their stations and their measurements. The database covers geographically all EU Member States, the EEA member countries and some EEA collaborating countries. The EU Member States are bound under Decision 97/101/EC to engage in a reciprocal exchange of information (EoI) on ambient air quality. The EEA engages with its member and collaborating countries to collect the information foreseen by the EoI Decision because air pollution is a pan European issue and the EEA is the European body which produces assessments of air quality, covering the whole geographical area of Europe. All pollutants might not be monitored at all stations.

The data set provides the EEA 1 km and 2 km grids combining the 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. The full data set covers Europe for the year 2016, and in particular for the pollutants PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2 and NOx. This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator CSI005 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports. The methodology and the maps themselves can be found in the 2018 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2016" at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-acm-report-2018-8-european-air-quality-maps-for-2016. The data set for download also includes the maps in TIFF format present in the reports.

The data set provides the EEA 1 km and 2 km grids combining the 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 2017 and for the pollutants PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2 and NOx. It includes SOMO10, as a novelty from the 2016 data set. This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator CSI005 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports. The methodology and the maps themselves can be found in the 2019 Eionet report "European air quality maps for 2017" available at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-atni/products/etc-atni-reports/etc-atni-report-9-2019-european-air-quality-maps-for-2017-pm10-pm2-5-ozone-no2-and-nox-spatial-estimates-and-their-uncertainties.

The data set provides the EEA 1 km and 2 km grids combining the 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 2018. 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 2018. The data set contains also Phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) for wheat and potato and NOx annual average grids for 2018. The POD data set is presented for the first time. This data set is used to estimate population and vegetation exposure to air pollution, as an input to the indicator CSI005 (Exposure of Europe's ecosystems to ozone) and for the health impact assessments published in the Air Quality in Europe reports.

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.
