Ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση

Αλλαγή γλώσσας
Σελίδα Τελευταία τροποποίηση : 23/11/2023
Η ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση βλάπτει την υγεία του ανθρώπου και το περιβάλλον. Στην Ευρώπη, οι εκπομπές πολλών ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων έχουν μειωθεί σημαντικά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες με αποτέλεσμα τη βελτίωση της ποιότητας της ατμόσφαιρας στην περιοχή. Ωστόσο, οι συγκεντρώσεις ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων παραμένουν σε υπερβολικά υψηλό επίπεδο και τα προβλήματα ποιότητας του αέρα εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν. Σημαντικό ποσοστό του ευρωπαϊκού πληθυσμού κατοικεί σε περιοχές, ιδιαίτερα σε πόλεις, όπου παρουσιάζονται υπερβάσεις στα πρότυπα ποιότητας του αέρα: το όζον, το διοξείδιο του αζώτου και τα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια (ΑΣ) ενέχουν σοβαρούς κινδύνους για την υγεία. Πολλές χώρες έχουν υπερβεί ένα ή περισσότερα από τα όρια εκπομπών του 2010 για τέσσερις σημαντικούς ατμοσφαιρικούς ρύπους. Ως εκ τούτου, το θέμα της ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης παραμένει σημαντικό.

Η ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση είναι ένα τοπικό πρόβλημα όλης της Ευρώπης και του βόρειου ημισφαιρίου. Οι ατμοσφαιρικοί ρύποι που εκλύονται σε μία χώρα ενδέχεται να μεταφερθούν στην ατμόσφαιρα και να επιδεινώσουν ή να καταστήσουν κακή την ποιότητα του αέρα σε μια άλλη περιοχή.

Τα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια, το διοξείδιο του αζώτου και το τροποσφαιρικό όζον αναγνωρίζονται πλέον κατά κανόνα ως οι τρεις σημαντικότεροι ρύποι από την άποψη των επιπτώσεων για την υγεία. Η μακροχρόνια και οξεία έκθεση σε αυτούς τους ρύπους ενδέχεται να προκαλέσει επιπτώσεις κυμαινόμενης βαρύτητας για την υγεία, από προσβολή του αναπνευστικού συστήματος έως πρόωρο θάνατο. Περίπου 90% του ευρωπαϊκού αστικού πληθυσμού εκτίθεται σε συγκεντρώσεις ρύπων που υπερβαίνουν τα όρια ποιότητας του αέρα τα οποία κρίνονται επιβλαβή για την ανθρώπινη υγεία. Παραδείγματος χάριν, τα λεπτόκοκκα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια (ΑΣ2.5) στον αέρα έχει υπολογισθεί ότι μειώνουν το προσδόκιμο ζωής στην ΕΕ κατά περισσότερο από οχτώ μήνες. Το βενζο-a-πυρένιο  είναι καρκινογόνος ρύπος που προκαλεί ολοένα και μεγαλύτερη ανησυχία και, σε ορισμένες αστικές περιοχές, ιδιαίτερα της και κεντρικής και νότιας Ευρώπης, βρίσκεται σε συγκεντρώσεις πάνω από το όριο που έχει τεθεί για την προστασία της ανθρώπινης υγείας.

Η ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση είναι επιβλαβής για την υγεία μας και τα οικοσυστήματα. Μεγάλο τμήμα του πληθυσμού δεν ζει σε υγιές περιβάλλον, σύμφωνα με τα τρέχοντα πρότυπα. Για  μια βιώσιμη πορεία, η Ευρώπη πρέπει να είναι φιλόδοξη και να μην περιορίζεται στις τρέχουσες νομοθετικές ρυθμίσεις.

Hans Bruyninckx, εκτελεστικός διευθυντής του ΕΟΠ.

 Η ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση καταστρέφει επίσης το περιβάλλον μας.

  • Η οξίνιση μειώθηκε σημαντικά την περίοδο 1990-2010 σε περιοχές της Ευρώπης με ευαίσθητα οικοσυστήματα που έχουν υποστεί όξινες εναποθέσεις πλεονάζοντος θείου και αζωτούχων ενώσεων.
  • Ο ευτροφισμός, ένα περιβαλλοντικό πρόβλημα που οφείλεται στην απόρριψη πλεοναζόντων θρεπτικών στοιχείων στα οικοσυστήματα, σημείωσε μικρότερη πρόοδο. Η έκταση των ευαίσθητων οικοσυστημάτων που προσβάλλονταν από το πλεονάζον ατμοσφαιρικό άζωτο μειώθηκε ελάχιστα μεταξύ του 1990 και του 2010.
  • Οι ζημιές σε καλλιέργειες προκαλούνται από έκθεση σε υψηλές συγκεντρώσεις όζοντος. Οι περισσότερες γεωργικές καλλιέργειες εκτίθενται σε επίπεδα όζοντος που υπερβαίνουν τον μακροπρόθεσμο στόχο της ΕΕ για την προστασία της βλάστησης. Περιλαμβάνεται κυρίως σημαντικό τμήμα των γεωργικών περιοχών, ιδιαίτερα στη νότια, κεντρική και ανατολική Ευρώπη.

Η ποιότητα του αέρα της Ευρώπης δεν βελτιώνεται πάντα με βάση τη γενική μείωση των ανθρωπογενών εκπομπών ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων. Οι λόγοι για το εν λόγω φαινόμενο είναι πολύπλοκοι:

  • δεν υπάρχει πάντα σαφής γραμμική σχέση ανάμεσα στις μειούμενες εκπομπές και τις συγκεντρώσεις ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων στον αέρα,
  • το πρόβλημα της μεταφοράς ατμοσφαιρικών ρύπων σε μεγάλη απόσταση από άλλες χώρες του βόρειου ημισφαιρίου στην Ευρώπη οξύνεται διαρκώς.

Ως εκ τούτου, εξακολουθούν να απαιτούνται στοχοθετημένες προσπάθειες μείωσης των εκπομπών για περαιτέρω προστασία της υγείας του ανθρώπου και του περιβάλλοντος στην Ευρώπη.

Πηγές ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης

Υπάρχουν διάφορες πηγές ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης, ανθρωπογενούς και φυσικής προέλευσης:

  • καύση ορυκτών καυσίμων για την παραγωγή ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, οι μεταφορές, η βιομηχανία και τα νοικοκυριά,
  • βιομηχανικές διεργασίες και χρήση διαλυτών, για παράδειγμα σε βιομηχανίες χημικών και ορυκτών,
  • γεωργία,
  • διαχείριση αποβλήτων, και
  • ηφαιστειογενείς εκρήξεις, κονιορτός, εκνέφωση θαλάσσιου άλατος και εκπομπές πτητικών οργανικών ενώσεων από εργοστάσια είναι παραδείγματα φυσικών πηγών εκπομπών.

Πολιτικές της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης

Ο μακροπρόθεσμος στόχος της ΕΕ είναι η επίτευξη επιπέδων ποιότητας αέρα που δεν οδηγούν σε απαράδεκτες επιπτώσεις ή κινδύνους για την υγεία του ανθρώπου και το περιβάλλον. Η ΕΕ δρα σε πολλά επίπεδα για τη μείωση της έκθεσης σε ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση μέσω της νομοθεσίας, της συνεργασίας σε τομείς που ευθύνονται για την ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση επίσης με διεθνείς, εθνικές, περιφερειακές αρχές και μη κυβερνητικούς οργανισμούς, καθώς και μέσω της έρευνας. Οι πολιτικές της ΕΕ αποσκοπούν στη μείωση της έκθεσης σε ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση με μείωση των εκπομπών και καθορισμό ορίων και στοχοθετημένων τιμών για την ποιότητα του αέρα. Στο τέλος του 2013, η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή ενέκρινε την προτεινόμενη δέσμη μέτρων για την ποιότητα του καθαρού αέρα η οποία περιλαμβάνει νέα μέτρα για τη μείωση της ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης.

These health impacts have economic costs, cutting short lives, increasing medical costs and reducing productivity through lost working days. The pollutants with the most serious impacts on human health are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone.

Φάκελος Μεταφορές Οι μεταφορές αντιστοιχούν σχεδόν στο ένα τρίτο της συνολικής κατανάλωσης ενέργειας στις χώρες μέλη του ΕΟΠ και σε περισσότερο από το ένα πέμπτο των εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου. Ευθύνονται επίσης για ένα μεγάλο μέρος της αστικής ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης αλλά και της ηχητικής όχλησης. Επιπροσθέτως, οι μεταφορές έχουν σοβαρό αντίκτυπο στο τοπίο καθώς διαιρούν τις φυσικές περιοχές σε μικρά τμήματα με σημαντικές συνέπειες για την πανίδα και τη χλωρίδα.

Φάκελος Βιομηχανία Η περιβαλλοντική απόδοση της ευρωπαϊκής βιομηχανίας έχει βελτιωθεί τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Οι αλλαγές σημειώθηκαν για αρκετούς λόγους: αυστηρότερη περιβαλλοντική ρύθμιση, βελτιώσεις στην ενεργειακή αποδοτικότητα, γενική τάση για απομάκρυνση της ευρωπαϊκής βιομηχανίας από ορισμένες βαρέως τύπου και πιο ρυπογόνες μορφές κατασκευής και συμμετοχή των εταιρειών σε εθελοντικά συστήματα με στόχο τη μείωση των περιβαλλοντικών επιπτώσεων.
Φάκελος Ενέργεια Ουσιώδης για τη δημιουργία βιομηχανικού, εμπορικού και κοινωνικού πλούτου, η ενέργεια παρέχει, επίσης, προσωπική άνεση και κινητικότητα. Ωστόσο, η παραγωγή και η κατανάλωσή της ασκούν σημαντικές πιέσεις στο περιβάλλον: αέρια θερμοκηπίου και εκπομπές ρύπων, χρήσεις γης, δημιουργία αποβλήτων και πετρελαιοκηλίδες. Αυτές οι πιέσεις συμβάλλουν στην κλιματική αλλαγή, βλάπτουν τα φυσικά οικοσυστήματα και το ανθρωπογενές περιβάλλον, και έχουν δυσμενείς συνέπειες για την ανθρώπινη υγεία.

Φάκελος Κλιματική αλλαγή Η κλιματική αλλαγή συντελείται ήδη: οι θερμοκρασίες αυξάνονται, τα χαρακτηριστικά των βροχοπτώσεων αλλάζουν, οι παγετώνες και το χιόνι λιώνουν και η παγκόσμια μέση στάθμη της θάλασσας ανεβαίνει. Η αύξηση της θερμοκρασίας οφείλεται πιθανότατα κατά κύριο λόγο στην παρατηρούμενη αύξηση των ατμοσφαιρικών συγκεντρώσεων αερίων θερμοκηπίου ως αποτέλεσμα των εκπομπών που προέρχονται από ανθρώπινες δραστηριότητες. Για να μετριάσουμε τις συνέπειες της κλιματικής αλλαγής, πρέπει να μειώσουμε αυτές τις εκπομπές ή να διασφαλίσουμε την πρόληψη της παραγωγής τους.

Πλαίσιο πολιτικής Στο εσωτερικό της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, το Έκτο Περιβαλλοντικό Πρόγραμμα Δράσης της Ευρωπαϊκής Κοινότητας (6ο ΠΠΔ) αποσκοπεί στην επίτευξη επιπέδων ποιότητας του ατμοσφαιρικού αέρα που δεν έχουν ως αποτέλεσμα απαράδεκτες επιπτώσεις ή κινδύνους για την ανθρώπινη υγεία ή το περιβάλλον. Η ΕΕ έχει αναλάβει δράση σε πολλά επίπεδα για τη μείωση της έκθεσης στην ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση: μέσω της νομοθεσίας, της συνεργασίας με κλάδους που είναι υπεύθυνοι για την ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση, μέσω των εθνικών και περιφερειακών αρχών και των μη κυβερνητικών οργανώσεων και μέσω της έρευνας. Οι πολιτικές της ΕΕ αποσκοπούν στη μείωση της έκθεσης στην ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση μέσω της μείωσης των εκπομπών και της θέσπισης ορίων και τιμών στόχων για την ποιότητα της ατμόσφαιρας.
