30 Ιουλ 2024 · Air pollution is Europe’s largest environmental health risk, causing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases that impact health, reduce quality of life and cause preventable deaths. This briefing presents the status of regulated pollutants in ambient air in 2022 and 2023 in relation to current EU air quality standards and World Health ...
OVERVIEW. Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in the EU and causes significant damage to ecosystems. As part of the European Green Deal's zero pollution ambition, on 26 October 2022 the European Commission tabled a proposal for a revision of the Ambient Air Quality Directives.

Highlights that methane emissions are not regulated under EU air pollution legislation, and not specifically regulated under EU climate policy; welcomes the recently published ‘EU strategy to reduce methane emissions’, and encourages the Commission to effectively address the need to minimise methane emissions, especially from agriculture ...
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 ...
EU air quality standards. The EU air quality standards and objectives are summarised in the table below. These apply over different periods of time because the observed health impacts associated with the various pollutants occur over different exposure times.
