Ammonia concentrations measured in the Upper Rhine (2021-2022)
Produced as part of the Interreg Upper Rhine Atmo-Rhena PLUS project, this map shows ammonia measurements in the Upper Rhine region.
Ammonia (NH3) is a gaseous compound in the atmosphere. At very high concentrations, this gas is irritating to the respiratory tract and eyes. At the concentrations usually found in ambient air, its direct health effects are low, unlike the environmental effects it causes (ammonia plays a major role in the acidification and eutrophication of natural environments). In addition, ammonia reacts with other substances in the atmosphere to form secondary fine particles.
Ammonia is mainly emitted by agriculture, mainly through the spreading of fertilisers and animal waste from livestock farming. In urban areas, the residential sector, waste management, certain industries and road transport are also responsible for ammonia emissions.
Annual levels on the Upper Rhine range from 0.5 to 8.2 µg/m3. The sites associated with the highest concentrations are those close to an agricultural source or road traffic. Of the 21 sites, 19 exceeded the annual limit for the protection of sensitive vegetation and 8 exceeded the limit for the protection of total vegetation.
