The extended EUROS model has been used to calculate concentrations of PM
10
and PM
2.5
for Europe for the years 2002 and 2010 using a recent emission scenario. The obtained results for Belgium show decreases in PM-concentrations between 5 and 26% in this period, depending on the location. The contribution of anthropogenic sources in Flanders to annual averaged PM
10
concentrations amounts to 17% in 2002 and 15% in 2010 on average. The most important contribution to PM
10
concentrations originates from agricultural activities in Flanders, whereas the sector ”traffic” is the dominant source for anthropogenic PM
2.5
in Flanders.
