I. Key facts for 212 Year 212 confirms the overall stability of chronic pollution levels by particles, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and benzene. These pollutants remain an issue in Ile-de-France regionwith quality objectives and limit values frequently and substantially exceeded. In 212, weather conditions were characterized by a strong variability. During the first three months, weather conditions were not favourable for atmospheric pollution: an intense cold wave in February, followed by a very dry and sunny period in March. Therefore, the number of pollution episodes during that time was important. The rest of the year was characterized by a cool and rainy summer, except a late heat wave in August, and a mild and rainy autumn, leading to low pollution levels. Mean levels in 212 were slightly lower than those in 211, but were still higher than those recorded in 28. From one year to another, the variations of meteorological conditions could explain most of the variation of major problematic pollutants levels in the Ile-de-France region. On the other hand, trends over several years reflect the effects of the mitigation measure implementation and the technologic evolutions. Even if the levels were slightly lower than in 211, due to more dispersive weather conditions, 212 confirms the overall stability of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels in the greater Paris urban for roadside levels. Away from the traffic, a slight decrease of the levels seems to be confirmed in 212. Along main roads, the levels are in average twice the annual limit value. The limit value is thus largely exceeded over a wide portion of the Ile-de-France road network, as almost 1,6 km of roads are concerned. Levels slightly decrease at most sites in 212. However, other sites are continuously increasing, especially in the surrounding suburban areas. The limit value is also exceeded at background sites, away from the traffic, in the centre of the. All in all, around 3 million Ile-de-France inhabitants were potentially exposed in 212 to NO2 levels exceeding the annual limit value. After a period of stability, a slight decrease of background levels of nitrogen dioxide seems to be observed over the past two years in the. More stringent requirements for low emission vehicles have certainly been a favourable factor, despite the fact that emission standards are based on NOx and not on NO2. However, primary NO2 emissions from dieselpowered vehicles are probably linked to a major issue on the evolution of nitrogen dioxide levels, both at background and at roadside sites. Although the particulate filters that now equip most new diesel vehicles contribute to reduce particulate emissions, those combined with oxidation catalyst contribute to a significant increase in NO2 emissions. As a result, the proportion of NO2 in NOx emissions has been increasing steadily from 1996 to 21, with an indication of stabilization these last two years, as indicated by observations made at roadside sites in Ile-de-France. Daily and annual limit values for PM1 particles are still greatly exceeded on roadside sites. In 212, around 2.4 million inhabitants in the living close to main roads were potentially affected by the PM1 particles exceedance of the daily limit value. This is slightly less than in 211. In 212, weather conditions were characterized by a strong variability: an intense cold wave in February and an average high temperature in March, favourable to PM pollution episodes but also both an early spring and a very rainy autumn. This has led to a lot of exceedances of the 5 daily threshold for PM1, but only in the first four months of the year. Therefore, 212 average levels are overall below 211. For fine particles (PM2.5), in 212, all the 11.7 million inhabitants of Ile-de-France were potentially affected by air quality objective exceedance. levels away from road traffic were, on average, 1.5 higher than the objective and up to three times higher on roadside situations. The 212 limit value was exceeded near major roads, as monitored at the Paris ring-road and A1 highway stations. Concerning ozone levels, every year, the quality objective, is exceeded in all parts of the region, and especially in sub-urban and rural areas. Except a short and late heat wave in August, summer was overall not very sunny. Ozone levels in 212 were rather stable compare to 211, and Air quality in the Paris region 212: summary - March 213 2
much lower than those recorded in 23 and 26, years in which there were long hot spells (historical heatwave in August 23). Benzene levels have, overall, been stable for several years, after a long period of reduction which began at the end of the 199 s. Although the quality objective for background is met everywhere, this is not the case at roadside sites where the national quality objective is exceeded on about 5 km of regional roads. Generally speaking, almost 3, Ile-de-France inhabitants, in the and at roadside situations, are potentially exposed to an exceedance of the annual quality objective for benzene. Concerning pollution episodes, the information and warning procedure was triggered 44 days in 212. This significant important number is due to the modification of the regional alert procedure at the end of 211that set lower thresholds for PM1. Should similar thresholds had been kept, 212 would have been similar to 211. Most of these episodes are due to PM1 (36 days of exceedance of the information warning threshold), mainly occurring during the first four months of the year. The alert threshold has been exceeded 4 times for PM1 in 212. Three exceedances of the information threshold have been recorded for ozone in summer, and only one for nitrogen dioxide.

II. Pollutants exceeding air quality standards Nitrogen dioxide in brief Nitrogen dioxide remains an important issue in Ile-de-France: in 212, around 3 million inhabitants living in the centre of the were potentially exposed to an exceedance of the annual limit value. Recurrent limit value exceedances are recorded, especially near road traffic. A slight decrease of background levels is observed between 211 and 212 due to weather conditions more favourable to dispersion in 212. But after a significant decrease of background levels since the beginning of the 2 s, concentrations have been overall stable for several years. The main source of nitrogen dioxide remains road traffic. Levels along major roads can be twice higher than the air quality standards. Near road traffic, no improvement is emerging and the increasing proportion of NO2 in NOx emissions from diesel vehicles equipped with oxidation catalyzed particulate filters is leading to a raise of mean NO2 concentrations on some sites. exceedance intensity no exceedance very important > + 5 % important + 3 à + 5 % moderate + 1 à + 3 % light à + 1 % Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) Annual limit value exceedance * 212 21-211 Rural Rural background background 23, 27, 29, 21, 211 every year Hourly limit value exceedance * 26 to 211 * considering margins of tolerance decreasing from year to year Concentrations ( ) 12 11 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) Annual limit value Highest monitoring station in 212 in Ile-de-France 41 Limit value 12 outside 18 Raodside Number of hours exceeding 32 28 24 2 16 12 8 4 Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) Hourly limit value (number of hours exceeding the 2 threshold) Highest monitoring station in 212 in Ile-de-France 1 Limit value (18 exceedances) outside 145 Raodside Summary of air quality standards exceedances for nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in Ile-de-France Air quality in the Paris region 212: summary - March 213 4
