Air quality zones and agglomerations

Today, the problem of air pollution, especially cities, is very acute. Pollutants in the air are able to change environmental conditions (negatively affects not only air quality, but also some pollutants enter soil and water), harm human health and ecosystems. Air quality management therefore plays an important role in the national environmental management system. Information on air quality concentrations in Europe is available on the Up-to-date air quality data portal of the European Environment Agency, while information on air quality indicators in Europe is available on the European Air Quality Index. The dataset contains air quality surveillance zones in accordance with the EC Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC)reporting requirements
