Europe has significantly cut its emissions of gases that lead to ground-level ozone. Despite this, levels of ozone do not appear to be falling. A recent EEA report questions this and suggests that the effect of the emission cuts on ozone may be masked by variable weather conditions. In many countries of Europe, the time-series of ozone data are yet too short to draw conclusions about long-term ...
