Main drivers
Between 1995 and 2013 the total PM10 emissions dropped about 27%. The Main Drivers for PM10 emissions are Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A) with 47% of total 1995 emissions and a 42.6% reduction between 1995-2013 and as a sum the Industrial Processes (NFR 2) (and especially Handling of Bulk Products NFR 2.L therein) with 39% of total 1995 emissions and a 27% reduction between 1995-2013.
Within NFR 1.A, Transport (NFR 1.A.3) produces the biggest part of PM10 emissions. Here, about 90% of 2013 Transport PM10 emissions are produced by Road Transport (NFR 1.A.3.b), half of which is directly caused by fuel combustion (NFR 1.A.3.b.i - iv) and the other half by road abrasion and tyre and brake wear (NFR 1.A.3.b.vi - vii).
