-**Total PM₂.₅ emissions** dropped by 59.9% between 1995 and 2020. The Main Drivers for PM₂.₅ emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with 72% of total 1995 emissions and a 65% reduction between 1995-2020 and as a sum the **Industrial Processes (NFR 2)** with about 21% of total 1995 emissions and a 51% reduction between 1995-2020. 
  
-Within both National totals and NFR 1.A, **Transport (NFR 1.A.3)** is responsible for the biggest part of PM₂.₅ emissions. Here, about 77% of 2019 PM₂.₅ 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)**.+Between 1995 and 2024, **Total PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions declined by 62.0%**.  
 + 
 +The **main drivers** for PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with 73% of total 1995 emissions and a 69% reduction between 1995 and 2024 and, as a sum, the **Industrial Processes (NFR 2)** with about 21% of total 1995 emissions and a 52% reduction between 1995 and 2024.
  
-__PM₂.₅ Emissions 1990-2020__+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 88% of 2024 PM<sub>2.5</sub> transport emissions are induced by **Road Transport (NFR 1.A.3.b)**. About one quarter (25%) of these emissions are directly caused by **fuel combustion (NFRs 1.A.3.b.i-iv)** whereas 75% stem from **tyre and brake wear (1.A.3.b.vi) and road abrasion (vii)**.
