The colour coding of exposure estimates refers to the fraction of urban population exposed to concentrations
above the reference level:

<5%
5-50 %
50-75 %
> 75 %
http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/exceedance-of-air-quality-limit-3
The pollutants in this table are ordered in terms of their relative risk for health damage. The reference levels include
EU limit or target values. For PM10 and NO2 the estimates are related to the most stringent EU limit value set for the
protection of human health. For O3 there is only one target value.
