Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Environmental pressures of heavy metal releases to air, 2016 [2]. An eco-toxicity approach (USEtox model, https://usetox.org/model) was applied to illustrate spatially the combined environmental pressures on Europe’s environment caused by releases of the selected pollutants. This gives information about the location of source of heavy metals and the low or high levels in air as indicated in the upper left corner of the figure.
