Original research
Original analyses by PlainAirQuality. Each page renders from our SQLite extract of the EEA PM2.5 Average Exposure Indicator (2021-2023) and Burden of Disease (2022) at request time - not from live Dataflow E1a or Copernicus CAMS ingest.
What can you learn from PlainAirQuality research?
What this research covers
PlainAirQuality research ranks EU members on PM2.5 exposure, NO₂ compliance, and modelled premature mortality from the EEA AEI / Burden of Disease extract (28 countries; population-weighted mean PM2.5 10.4 µg/m³; 238,378 attributed premature deaths in the modelled scenario), answering one air-quality question per study.

Studies below answer one ranking or compliance question each from the live EEA extract; they are descriptive registry summaries, not medical or policy advice.

Figures on PlainAirQuality are rendered from this site's database rather than typed into the page. Country values restate the EEA's published series and are held in our dataset pending an automated re-import; station-level values are modelled from those national means, not measured at the station. Figures on this page come from the EEA's published series (population-weighted country exposure and Burden of Disease mortality); anything shown per station is a modelled estimate derived from those national means, never an independent reading.
