Ammonia emissions from agriculture and other sources (Indicator)
Key messages: More measures are needed in agriculture to meet the emission reduction commitments for ammonia. NH 3 emissions reduced by only 16% over the period 2005-2022.

Emissions of the main air pollutants in Europe
The air pollutants ammonia (NH 3 ), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and sulphur oxides (SO x ) damage human health and the environment. Reducing their anthropogenic emissions…

Oxygen consuming substances in European rivers (Indicator)
Key messages: Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels in European rivers halved between 1992 and 2022. However, levels have remained steady at around 2.7mg O 2 /l since 2010. Ammonium concentrations fell to 20% of the 1992 level. After 2014, the level…

Risk of eutrophication measured as exceedance of critical loads of nitrogen deposition in Europe, in 2022
The main sources of atmospheric nitrogen deposition are combustion processes, which result in nitrogen oxides (NOx) being emitted to the air, and ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture. ...

Risk of eutrophication measured as exceedance of critical loads of nitrogen deposition in Europe, in 2022
Air pollution threatens biodiversity. Excess amounts of nitrogen can cause eutrophication, disrupting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and leading to changes in species diversity, for example in nutrient-poor grasslands. The main sources of atmosph…
