5.3.6 Urban Increment
Table 7 shows the urban increment (difference between regional and urban back-
ground level for a given city) of PM 2.5 for the critical and non-critical areas. Large
urban increments have been calculated for Sofia, Milan and northern Italy, Athens
and southern Poland. A large urban increment may indicate adverse dispersion
conditions and/or high local emission densities.
5.3.7 Emissions
Data relating to emissions are available from the MACC project 13 and, for on some
areas, from the notifications of time extension. Table 8 shows PM 10 emissions from
MACC categorised into low level sources, 14 high level sources 15 and traffic.
Among urban agglomerations, the highest total emissions have been calculated
13 http://www.gmes-atmosphere.eu/ .
14 Source categories residential, commercial and other combustion, industrial processes, extraction
distribution of fossil fuels, solvent use, road transport, other mobile sources, waste treatment and
disposal, agriculture (SNAP 2, 4-10).
15 Source categories power generation and industrial combustion (SNAP 1 and 3).
