Welcome to EMEP

EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) is a scientifically based and policy driven programme under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution for international co-operation to solve transboundary air pollution problems.

This website is intended to facilitate the understanding and accessibility of the information compiled under the Co-operative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP). The operational objectives and needs of the programme are presented here together with updated EMEP data on the European regional air quality concerning acidification, eutrophication, ground level ozone, heavy metals, persistent organic compounds and atmospheric particles. We hope you will find it useful !

NEWS AND UPDATES

 
2010-01-16 Problems with EMEP data retrieval are fixed
After a couple of weeks with limited access to the EMEP data, the model results are available again. We hope that all problems with the data retrieval are fixed. Please send us a feedback if you still experience any difficulties with accessing the EMEP model results.
2009-12-15 Problems with EMEP data retrieval
Unfortunately, the server upgrade did not go that smoothly as we hoped and most of the EMEP model results are still unavailable. We try to fix the problems as soon as possible.
2009-12-09 Upgrading of server hosting the EMEP model results
The EMEP webpage will partly be down on Monday 14th of December (from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) due to an upgrade of the server hosting the EMEP model results.
The following data will not be available: Air concentrations and depositions, SR data and Trajectories
Please send us a feedback if the pages are not available from Tuesday 15th of December.
2009-09-08 Corrected country reports, source-receptor relationships and model results for 2007
New model calculations have been performed with corrected emission data for 2007. Corrected country reports, source-receptor tables and evaluation of the EMEP Unified model performance are now available along with updated downloadable model results for 2007.
2009-08-27 Important information on source-receptor relationships for 2007
A mistake has been found in the gridding of emissions for Croatia for 2007, affecting model calculations for acidifying and eutrophying compounds as well as ozone (Status Report 1/2009 and Country Data notes 2009). Nordic countries and neighbor countries of Croatia are most affected. Corrected model results, country reports and source-receptor tables for 2007 will be available by 4th of September.
