and buses. For the other areas no data are available.

5.3.10 Population Weighted Exposure

As detailed and comparable information about health impacts in the critical areas is
not available for all areas, the population weighted exposure 16 has been calculated
on the basis of gridded air quality and population data [ 4 , 5 ]. The values obtained in
this way give a rough estimate of potential health effects (Table 14 ). The highest
levels have been calculated for Sofia, Krak ´ w and Milan, where the levels for the
annual mean are more than twice as high as in Berlin.
