Data from Swedish municipalities on particulate matter (PM10 and PM2,5), nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, benzene, carbon monoxide, benzo(a)pyrene and certain metals are reported annually to the European Commission under Directive 2008/50/EC and Directive 2004/107/EC. Measurements in rural air and precipitation (e.g. ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides) are conducted by the Swedish EPA.

There is also a terrain map in the scale 1:50 000. The agency is funded by charging for data and thus very little open data is available.

"Today, we are required to collect fees from those who want to use products from our range of maps, geographic information and property information - what we collectively call for geodata. Our hope is that we will get a new funding model that makes it possible to abolish fees and restrictive conditions of use."
