Onesnaževanje zraka

Spremeni jezik
Stran Zadnja sprememba 23.11.2023
Onesnaževanje zraka škoduje zdravju ljudi in okolju. V zadnjih desetletjih so se emisije mnogih onesnaževal zraka močno zmanjšale, zaradi česar se je kakovost zraka v regiji izboljšala. Kljub temu so koncentracije onesnaževal še vedno zelo visoke, težava kakovosti zraka pa ostaja. Pomemben delež evropskega prebivalstva živi na območjih, zlasti v mestih, kjer so standardi kakovosti zraka znižani in ozon, dušikov dioksid, predvsem pa trdni delci (PM) resno ogrožajo zdravje. Številne države so presegle eno ali več zgornjih mej emisij za leto 2010 pri štirih pomembnih onesnaževalih zraka. Zmanjševanje onesnaževanja zraka zato ostaja pomembno.

Onesnaževanje zraka je vprašanje na lokalni in vseevropski ravni, pa tudi na ravni poloble. Onesnaževala, izpuščena v zrak v eni državi, lahko preidejo v atmosfero, kar povzroči ali še poveča slabo kakovost zraka drugje.

Trdni delci, dušikov dioksid in ozon v prizemni plasti danes na splošno veljajo za tri onesnaževala, ki najbolj vplivajo na zdravje ljudi. Dolgoročna in konična izpostavljenost onesnaževalom te vrste povzroča različno hude posledice, od težav z dihali do prezgodnje smrti. V Evropi je okoli 90 % mestnega prebivalstva izpostavljenega koncentracijam onesnaževal, večjim od mejnih vrednosti kakovosti zraka, ki se štejejo za škodljive za zdravje. Po ocenah drobni trdni delci (PM2,5) v zraku zmanjšajo pričakovano življenjsko dobo v EU za več kot osem mesecev. Benzo(a)piren je rakotvorno onesnaževalo, ki zbuja čedalje večjo zaskrbljenost, saj so njegove koncentracije v mnogih urbanih okoljih, še zlasti v srednji in vzhodni Evropi, višje od praga, še varnega za zdravje.  

Onesnaževanje zraka škodi zdravju ljudi in ekosistemom. Velik del prebivalstva živi v okolju, ki po današnjih standardih ni zdravo. Da bi dosegla trajnostno raven, bo morala Evropa postati mnogo ambicioznejša in preseči danes veljavno zakonodajo.

Hans Bruyninckx, izvršni direktor agencije EEA

Zaradi onesnaževanja zraka trpi tudi okolje.

  • Zakisovanje se je v občutljivih evropskih ekosistemih, izpostavljenih kislim padavinam s čezmerno vsebnostjo žveplovih in dušikovih spojin, med letoma 1990 in 2010 močno zmanjšalo.
  • Evtrofikacija, okoljski problem zaradi čezmernega vnosa hranil v ekosisteme, je manj napredovala. Območje občutljivih ekosistemov, prizadetih zaradi čezmernega dušika iz ozračja, se je med letoma 1990 in 2010 le malo zmanjšalo.
  • Izpostavljenost visokim koncentracijam ozona povzroča škodo na pridelkih. Večina kmetijskih predelkov je izpostavljena ravnem ozona, ki presegajo dolgoročni cilj EU za varovanje rastlinja. To velja tudi za precej velik del kmetijskih zemljišč, zlasti v južni, srednji in vzhodni Evropi.

Kakovost zraka v Evropi se ni vedno izboljševala skladno s splošnim zmanjševanjem antropogenih emisij onesnaževal zraka (emisij zaradi človeškega vpliva). Razlogi za to so zapleteni:

  • med zmanjšanjem emisij in koncentracijami onesnaževal, zaznanih v zraku, ni vedno jasne linearne povezave;
  • prenos onesnaževal zraka prek velikih razdalj v Evropo iz drugih držav na severni polobli ima vse večji vpliv.

Za dodatno varovanje zdravja ljudi in okolja v Evropi so še vedno potrebna ciljno naravnana prizadevanja za zmanjšanje emisij.

Viri onesnaževanja zraka

Zrak se onesnažuje iz različnih virov, antropogenih in naravnega izvora:

  • zgorevanje fosilnih goriv pri proizvodnji elektrike, v prometu, industriji in gospodinjstvih;
  • industrijski procesi in uporaba topil, na primer v kemični in nekovinski industriji;
  • kmetijstvo;
  • ravnanje z odpadki;
  • primeri naravnih virov emisij so izbruhi vulkanov, prah, ki ga prinese veter, razpršena morska sol in emisije hlapnih organskih spojin iz rastlin.

Politike Evropske unije

Dolgoročni cilj EU je doseči stopnje kakovosti zraka, ki nimajo nesprejemljivih vplivov in tveganj za zdravje ljudi in okolje. EU deluje na številnih ravneh, da bi zmanjšala izpostavljenost onesnaženosti zraka: prek zakonodaje, raziskav in sodelovanja s sektorji, ki so odgovorni za onesnaževanje zraka, pa tudi z mednarodnimi, nacionalnimi in regionalnimi pristojnimi organi ter nevladnimi organizacijami. Cilj politik EU je zmanjšati izpostavljenost onesnaženosti zraka z zmanjšanjem emisij ter določitvijo omejitev in ciljih vrednosti za kakovost zraka. Konec leta 2013 je Evropska komisija sprejela predlagan paket ukrepov za kakovost čistega zraka, ki vključuje nove ukrepe za zmanjšanje onesnaženosti zraka.

Dejavnosti agencije EEA

Evropska agencija za okolje (EEA) je podatkovno središče Evropske unije o zraku, ki podpira izvajanje zakonodaje EU, povezane z emisijami v zrak in s kakovostjo zraka. Agencija EEA prispeva tudi k ocenjevanju politik EU o onesnaženosti zraka in razvoju dolgoročnih strategij za izboljšanje kakovosti zraka v Evropi.

Delo agencije EEA je osredotočeno na:

  • zagotavljanje javnega dostopa do podatkov o onesnaženosti zraka,
  • dokumentiranje in ocenjevanje trendov glede kakovosti zraka ter povezanih politik in ukrepov v Evropi ter
  • proučevanje kompromisov in sinergij med onesnaženostjo zraka in politikami na različnih področjih, med katerimi so podnebne spremembe, energetika, prevoz in industrija.

Air pollution continues to have significant impacts on the health of Europeans, particularly in urban areas. 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.

Mapa Promet Promet je odgovoren za približno tretjino celotne končne porabe energije v državah članicah agencije EEA in za več kot petino emisij toplogrednih plinov. Prav tako je odgovoren za velik del onesnaženosti zraka v mestih in obremenitve s hrupom. Promet poleg tega resno vpliva na krajino, saj razdeli naravna območja na majhne zaplate, kar ima resne posledice za živali in rastline.

Mapa Industrija Okoljska učinkovitost evropske industrije se je v zadnjih desetletjih izboljšala. Do sprememb je prišlo iz več razlogov: strožja okoljska zakonodaja, izboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti, splošna težnja evropske industrije, da opušča določene težke vrste proizvodnje, ki so bolj onesnaževale okolje, in sodelovanje podjetij v prostovoljnih programih za zmanjšanje negativnih učinkov na okolje.
Mapa Energetika Energija je bistvena za ustvarjanje industrijske, trgovinske in družbene blaginje, posameznikom pa zagotavlja tudi udobje in mobilnost. Toda njena proizvodnja in poraba okolje močno obremenjujeta s toplogrednimi plini, izpusti onesnaževal zraka, rabo zemljišč, nastajanjem odpadkov in razlitji nafte. Te obremenitve prispevajo k podnebnim spremembam, škodijo naravnim ekosistemom in kulturni krajini ter škodljivo vplivajo na zdravje ljudi.

Mapa Ublažitev podnebnih sprememb Podnebne spremembe se že dogajajo: temperature naraščajo, padavinski vzorci se spreminjajo, talijo se ledeniki in sneg, dviguje se gladina morja. Večina segrevanja ima najverjetneje vzrok v povečanju koncentracij toplogrednih plinov v ozračju, ki so posledica emisij zaradi človeških dejavnosti. Če želimo ublažiti podnebne spremembe, moramo te emisije zmanjšati ali celo preprečiti.

Politični okvir V Evropski uniji je cilj Sedmega okoljskega akcijskega programa (7EAP) doseči stopnje kakovosti zraka, ki nimajo nesprejemljivih vplivov in tveganj za zdravje ljudi in okolja. EU deluje na številnih ravneh za zmanjšanje izpostavljenosti onesnaženosti zraka, in sicer prek zakonodaje in raziskav ter sodelovanja s sektorji, ki so odgovorni za onesnaževanje zraka, pa tudi z mednarodnimi, nacionalnimi in regionalnimi pristojnimi organi ter nevladnimi organizacijami. Cilj politik EU je zmanjšati izpostavljenost onesnaženosti zraka z zmanjšanjem emisij ter določitvijo omejitev in ciljnih vrednosti za kakovost zraka.
