HomeAir pollution by ozone in Europe in summer 2005 overview of exceedances of EC ozone threshold values for April–September 2005
Publication metadata
In summer 2005, the levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 µg/m3, Directive 2002/3/EC). The frequency of these exceedances was comparable with those of previous years, though not as high as in the record year 2003. The highest one-hour ozone concentration in summer 2005 (361 µg/m3) was observed in Portugal. Other high hourly ozone concentrations of between 300 and 360 µg/m3 were reported in France, Greece, Italy, Romania and Spain. The directive's long-term objective to protect human health (maximum ozone concentration of 120 µg/m3 over 8 hours) was extensively exceeded in the EU and other European countries. In many parts of Europe the target value to protect human health was also exceeded.
