These policies have contributed to the decrease of exceedances for most air pollutants over the past decade.
EU legislation improved air quality until now? • Since 2008, EU clean air policy reduced share of air quality zones with particulate matter (PM) exceedances by 50%. • Between 2000 and 2020, emissions of the main air pollutants have decreased by between 13% and 84%, depending on the pollutant. • Today, 70% fewer early deaths are ...
