Current air pollution levels are having a negative impact on the health of people living in Europe, even when the level of pollution falls below the limits put in place to prevent ill-health. A new report, based on a workshop held by leading European organisations, provides insights into the next steps needed to improve this situation.
The aim of the workshop was to review the latest scientific findings in the field of air quality and health. It brought together experts from the World Health Organization, European Respiratory Society, International Society for Environmental Epidemiology and the Health Effects Institute.
The report, published in the European Respiratory Journal, summarises the meeting discussions and asks the question of how to achieve the most health benefits with new legislation that is also cost effective.
Key findings in the report include:
The report authors discuss the European Green Deal – a set of policies proposed by the European Commission in 2019 that aims to make the EU more sustainable. It aims to put in place a zero-emission strategy by 2050. The report authors believe that the Deal can provide a unique opportunity to put into practice the changes that are needed to improve health.
