Information about indicator
Name of the indicator
11.6.2 Annual mean levels of fine particulate matter in 12 agglomerations
Sustainable Development Goal
Goal 11. Sustainable cities and communities
Target
11.6 By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management
Definition
Value of standardized average annual concentration of PM 10/PM 2,5 in 12 agglomerations.
Unit
µg/m3
Available dimensions
PM 10, PM 2,5
Methodological explanations
PM 10 is particulate matter with a particle diameter equivalent to less than 10 µm. PM 10 limit of average annual concentration value: 40 µg/m3. PM 2,5 is particulate matter with a particle diameter equivalent to less than 2,5 µm. PM 2,5 limit of average annual concentration value: 25 µg/m3.
Source of data
Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection
Data availability
Annual data Since 2010.
Notes
The presented indicator (11.6.2 Annual mean levels of fine particulate matter in 12 agglomerations) is a proxy indicator to the one adopted in the official list of indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The replacement of the original indicator (11.6.2 Annual mean levels of fine particulate matter (e.g. PM2.5 and PM10) in cities (population weighted)) is due to the inability to obtain data for it. The proxy indicator has been selected so as to most fully reflect the essence of the observed phenomenon.
