Utö is an island on the outskirts of the Archipelago Sea in the Baltic Sea about 80 km southwest from the mainland Finland. The island is about 1 km2 in size, mostly rocky and treeless. Typical vegetation is low and consists of grass and shrubs. The main part of the Baltic Sea is to the south (500km), the Gulf of Finland is to the east (400km). The footprint covers, in addition to the Baltic Sea, most part of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic countries.
Beginning in 1980, Finnish Meteorological Institute has monitored air quality and deposition as part of EMEP and HELCOM programmes.
