O3, European air quality data for 2016, (interpolated data), Apr. 2019

The data set provides concentrations for the air pollutants Ozone (O3) at 1 km grid combining 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 2016. It provides estimates for human health related indicators of pollutants ozone (93.2 percentile of maximum daily 8-hour means, SOMO35, SOMO10) and vegetation related ozone indicators (AOT40 for vegetation and for forests) for the year 2016. 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.
