Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions per 500 m grid in the Upper Rhine (2021)
Produced as part of the Interreg Upper Rhine Atmo-Rhena PLUS project, this map shows nitrogen oxide emissions per km² across all sectors in the Upper Rhine region in 2021.
Limiting air pollutant emissions is the most important lever for reducing pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere. Air pollutants are gaseous compounds or particles that have a negative impact on air quality and harm human health and the environment. Their negative effects are not limited to the area close to the emission sources, but can spread in the atmosphere over hundreds of kilometres, and sometimes even globally.
On this map, nitrogen oxide emissions per km² across all sectors are higher in urban areas due to traffic density, as well as in municipalities crossed by major roads such as motorways or with industrial sites. A per capita representation would not be appropriate with the current ‘source’ inventory methodology, since emissions are generated in a municipality by all vehicles passing through it.
The static map in PDF format is available at a scale of 500m. The data is accessible as open data only at the scale of EPCI, Kreis and Cantons.
