Updated modelling results on HM and POP pollution levels within the EMEP region for 2020, based on emissions data for 2020 as reported to the EMEP in 2022, are available here. Particularly, spatial distributions of annual mean air concentrations and total annual deposition fluxes of Pb, Cd, Hg, PCDD/Fs, B(a)P, B(b)F, B(k)F, I(cd)P, PCB-153 and HCB for 2020 are presented. Modelling of HM and POP long-range transport and deposition was performed using the latest version of GLEMOS model.
