Detailed reports for each EMEP country

This section presents updated information on pollution by Heavy Metals and Persistent Organic Pollutants for each country - a Party to the Convention. On relevant pages per each country official data and expert estimates of emissions as well as calculated depositions and concentrations, their spatial distribution, deposition totals and contributions to them of national and of other European countries are demonstrated. HM and POP concentrations in air and precipitation measured at monitoring stations of a given country are given in comparison with modelling results.

To obtain detailed report for an EMEP country click on the country's area on the map below or select the country name using the country list form.

The information has the following structure:

Heavy Metals

HM emission distribution from sources of a given country with spatial resolution 50x50 km (in graphical and digital form) used for computations for 2002;

HM annual emission totals of a given country for 2002;

HM deposition fields for 2002 with spatial resolution 50x50 km (in graphical and digital form) both on the territory of a given country and on territories of other countries from its national sources;

Maps of contribution of external anthropogenic sources to HMs deposition on the territory of a given country;

Contribution of European countries to HM depositions on the territory of a given country for 2002;

Contribution of sources of a given country to depositions to other European countries for 2002;

Comparison of model results against measurements for 2002;

Trends in emissions, air concentrations and depositions of HMs from 1990 to 2001.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (some of maps are under preparation)

POP emission distribution from sources of a given country used in computations for 1998 (HCB, PCBs) and 2001 (PCDD/Fs, B[a]P, B[b]F, B[k]F, lindane);

POP annual emission totals of a given country used for modelling;

Calculated concentrations in various media including atmosphere (means over the country, minimum and maximum values in the country) of selected POPs for 1998 (HCB, PCBs) and 2001 (PCDD/Fs, B[a]P, B[b]F, B[k]F, lindane);

Maps of spatial distributions of selected POPs in air, soil and vegetation;

Transboundary deposition fluxes and air concentrations of B[a]P in 2001;

Trends in emissions and mean annual concentrations in main environmental compartments since 1970;

Comparison of measurements with POP modelling results.

Besides, the detailed reports on each country is now supplied with the links to information on acidifying and eutrophying pollutants on MSC-W web site as well as the links to the country's measurement network pages on CCC web site.
