Industrial releases of pollutants to air and economic activity in the EU-27, 2010-2020
Chart (static)
Economic activity represented by gross value added (GVA). CO2 = carbon dioxide. NMVOCs = non-methane volatile organic compounds. NOX = nitrogen oxides. Cd = cadmium. Hg = mercury. Pb = lead. PM10 = particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometres. SOX = sulphur oxides.

Methodology
Pollutant releases reported under European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register/Large Combustion Plants (E-PRTR/LCP) dataflow for the relevant pollutant have been aggregated at EU-27 level and index against 2010 level has been calculated.
Additional information
GVA, gross value added; NMVOC, non-methane volatile organic compound; NOX, nitrogen oxides; PM10, particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 μm; SOX, sulphur oxides. GVA is used as a proxy for the economic activity of industry in Europe, accounting for inflation, based on 2010 values.
