-**Total PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions declined by 58.6%** between 1995 and 2021.
+Between 1995 and 2021, **Total PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions declined by 58.6%**.
-The Main Drivers for PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with 72% of total 1995 emissions and a 65% reduction between 1995 and 2021 and, as a sum, the **Industrial Processes (NFR 2)** with about 21% of total 1995 emissions and a 51% reduction between 1995 and 2021.

 Within both National totals and NFR 1.A, **Transport (NFR 1.A.3)** is responsible for the biggest part of PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions. Here, about 77% of 2019 PM<sub>2.5</sub> transport emissions are induced by **Road Transport (NFR 1.A.3.b)**, caused by two third directly by fuel consumption **(NFR 1.A.3.b.i - v)** and the other third by road abrasion and tyre and brake wear **(NFR 1.A.3.b.vi - vii)**.
