Emissions of most major air pollutants from road transportation in the European Union (EU-27) have decreased considerably since 1990. Levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) fell more than 67 percent between 1990 and 2021, while sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions decreased by over 99 percent. However, ammonia (NH₃) levels increased 114 percent during this period, while nitrogen dioxide (N₂O) levels grew about 45 percent.
