Notification ServiceTransport remains main source of health-damaging pollutants
Thereport shows that road transport remains the single main source ofnitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and non-methane volatileorganic compounds (NMVOCs), and the second-most important source offine particulate emissions (PM10 and PM2.5) in the EU-27. This reportcontains essential data that helps understand the evolution of airpollutant emissions since 1990.This inventory report accompanies the annual emission inventorysubmission of the European Community to the UNECE Convention on Long -Range Transboundary Air Pollution. It presents an overview of airpollutant emission data reported by the EU-27 Member States between theyears 1990 to 2006. In particular, the report highlights thesignificant contribution to air pollution made by the transport sector- this sector is the most significant source of NOx, CO and NMVOCs andthe second most important source of particulate emissions (PM10 andPM2.5). Across the EU-27, significant emission reductions have occurredfor various air pollutants since 1990 - the reported emissions ofnitrogen oxides in 2006 have decreased by more than 35 %, and sulphurdioxide by almost 70 %. The emission reductions have taken place acrossmany of the economic sectors reported by countries.

Uma referência da cultura, da ciência e da educação - o artista, o cientista e o pedagogo" Tendo sentido, desde muito cedo, a necessidade de separar a metodologia científica da metodologia pedagógica ,Rómulo de Carvalho nunca esqueceu que uma coisa é, por exemplo, aFísica como ciência e outra, bem distinta, é a Física como objecto deensino ."

Notification ServiceEEA reports on progress in greenhouse gas emissions reductions in 2006
Greenhousegas (GHG) emissions in the European Union decreased slightly between2005 and 2006 according to the official inventory report prepared bythe European Environment Agency (EEA). Overall emissions within theEU-27 fell by 14 million tonnes (0.3 %) and now stand 7.7 % below 1990levels. Total emissions in the European Union were slightly more than5.1 billion tonnes in 2006.The Annual European Community Greenhouse gas inventory 1990–2006 and inventory report 2008, includes the following key findings:
- The net reduction in GHG emissions observed for EU-27 was mainly due to reduced emission of nitrous oxide (12 million tonnes CO2-equivalents) from chemical plants;
- Overall emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most important greenhouse gas, remained stable in the period 2005–2006;
- Heavier use of coal for power and heat production resulted in an increase of 15.4 million tonnes CO2 from this sector in 2006. Poland alone accounted for an increment of 7.6 million tonnes of emissions from this sector;
- Denmark and Finland experienced the biggest relative increase in GHG emissions (with 10.9 and 16.3 % respectively), due to heavier use of solid fossil fuels for power generation;
- EU-15 Member States cut emissions by 0.8 % (or 35 million tones) in 2006 and account for 81 % of the EU total. In 2006, EU-15 emissions were 2.7 % below their levels in the base year (1990 in most cases).
