Exposure of ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone

REMOVE [1]

"The indicator shows the ecosystem or crops areas at risk of exposure to harmful effects of ozone as a consequence of air pollution, and shows the state of change in acidification, eutrophication and ozone levels of the European environment."

Link to Methodology: 

Exposure of ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone [2]

Aggregation level of indicator: 

  • Index or Composite [15]

Data quality assesment: 

  • assessed by international institution including WTO, OECD [16]

Link to data quality assessment: 

Exposure of ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone (CSI 005) - Assessment published Dec 2013 [17]

Contribution to the green economy: 

Smaller value of the indicator indicates less exceedance of critical loads for eutrophication due to the deposition of nutrient, which is beneficial for the environment and for the green economy in general.

Cost of accessing data: 

  • free of charge [18]
Potential misinterpretation: 
Is the indicator increasing, but the amount of nitrogen is still within the boundaries of environmental limits?
Related Indicator: 
Nutrients in transitional, coastal and marine waters [19]
Potential misinterpretation: 
Are decreasing acidification, eutrophication and ozone emissions indicating a deindustrialisation?
Related Indicator: 
Industry, value added (% of GDP) [20]
Potential misinterpretation: 
Are decreasing acidification, eutrophication and ozone emissions indicating declining agricultural activities?
Related Indicator: 
Agriculture, value added (% of GDP) [21]
