O3 - Air quality in the Upper Rhine in 2018
This map represents the result of air quality modelling in 2018 on the Upper Rhine. The number of days on which the regulatory target value of 120 µg/m³ Ozone is exceeded is shown according to a categorisation based on the limit values of the three countries.
Ozone is produced in the atmosphere by complex chemical reactions between primary pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds under the influence of solar radiation.
The regulatory target value is 120 µg/m³ for the daily maximum 8-hour average not to be exceeded on more than 25 days per calendar year averaged over 3 years. The World Health Organisation's guide value is 100 µg/m³ for the daily maximum 8-hour average.
The predominantly red map shows a high number of ozone exceedance days of the 8-hour average of 120 µg/m³ for the entire Upper Rhine in 2018. 99.7% of the area exceeded the 25-day threshold, which is the target value that must not be exceeded over three years. Compared to the mountainous regions, the Rhine valley was slightly more exposed due to the presence of ozone precursor pollutants and potentially higher temperatures.
