NO2 ambient concentrations in Switzerland

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration levels are modelled for Switzerland, based on updated NOx emission inventories and on a dispersion model. An emission reduction of 27% is expected in the period 2005-2015 due to a number of reduction measures. The concentration levels for 2005-2015 continuously follow the decrease of the emissions. In 2005, the average population weighted NO2 concentration is 23.2 μg/m3 and drops to 18.9 μg/m3 until 2015. In 2005, 6%-35% of the inhabitants were exposed to exceeding concentration levels. The number is expected to decrease to 1%-10% until 2015. The exceedances mainly occur in the centres of the cities and along major highways.Here the report for the download.
