Background

PlainAirQuality is an independent data-journalism portal. The editorial team synthesizes European Environment Agency (EEA) observations, Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) reanalysis, and national agency datasets (UBA Germany, ADEME France, ISPRA Italy, GIOS Poland, DEFRA UK) to produce country, station, and pollutant briefings for the general European public. The team writes independently of any government agency, industry trade group, or environmental NGO.

How to use this site

PlainAirQuality publishes reference material, data-driven pages, and explanatory tools. Use the source information, assumptions, limitations, and methodology shown on the individual page to decide whether it fits your situation.

Published information can summarize source data or provide an estimate; it is not professional financial, medical, legal, or engineering advice. For an important decision, compare the relevant page with a primary source or a qualified professional.

How information is presented

Pages that present data or estimates identify the available source, method, and material limitations. Results can differ from real-world outcomes because inputs, rules, rates, rounding, data coverage, and individual circumstances vary.

The methodology page explains the site-level approach and limitations. Check the source information on the page you are using rather than treating site-wide wording as a substitute for the current source.
