Energy-related emissions of particulate matter

REMOVE [1]

Combination of primary PM10 data, and emissions of secondary PM10 precursors (SO2 and NOx and NH3) weighted using aerosol formation factors (according to de Leeuw, 2002) NOx = 0.88, SO2 = 0.54 and NH3 = 0.64. Gaps in reported data have been filled by EEA/ETC-ACC where necessary using simple interpolation techniques.

Potential misinterpretation: 
Is is less energy consumed due to an economic recession?
Related Indicator: 
Real GDP, Index 1990=100 [15]
Potential misinterpretation: 
Is the environmental pressure 'Energy-related emissions of particulate matter' shifting to other countries whose energy is imported?
