The result of this indicator for each year is compared with the result calculated in the base period (defined as the three-year period 2011-2013).
The territorial scope of this sub-indicator includes the Canary Islands while Eurostat does not consider it because they do not fall within the EMEP domain (Co-operative programme for monitoring and evaluation of long range transmission of air pollutants in Europe).
