NO2 - Air quality in the Upper Rhine in 2018
This map represents the result of air quality modelling in 2018 on the Upper Rhine. The annual average NO2 amount in µg/m³ is represented according to a categorisation whose values are calibrated around the regulatory limit values of the three countries.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is emitted mainly by vehicles and combustion plants. The regulatory limit values in force are as follows for the annual average: Germany and France: 40 µg/m³, Switzerland: 30 µg/m³. The World Health Organisation's guide value is 40 µg/m³ as an annual average. It should be noted that France is currently involved in a European dispute for non-compliance with the regulatory value, particularly in Strasbourg.
The lowest levels are observed in the Vosges and Black Forest mountain ranges with values below 10 µg/m³ as an annual average. On the other hand, the highest levels are modelled in dense urban areas and along the main road network of the territory, in coherence with the predominantly traffic (43%) and industrial (29%) origin of this pollutant.
On the scale of the Upper Rhine, 47 km² would be exposed to exceeding the 40 µg/m³ threshold out of a total of 21,000 km², i.e. 0.2% of the cross-border territory. The sectors concerned are mainly located on the edges of the main roads of the major conurbations.
