Conclusions In EU-25, primary PM emissions will decline by approx. 40% between 2000 and 2020 because of CLE (as are NO x and VOC emissions). No significant changes in non-EU countries. In EU-25, equal amount could be reduced in addition with currently available technical measures. Largest potentials for further reductions in domestic sector and for industrial processes. Co-benefits of PM2.5 reduction on PM10 depend on sector and measure chosen (and vice versa). Cost-effective approaches to reduce health-relevant PM concentrations involve other precursor emissions. Majority of costs occur for controlling other pollutants than for PM. In a cost-effective approach, largest reduction of primary PM should come from small sources and from industrial processes.
