Most European citizens living in urban areas are still exposed to air pollution levels well beyond the limits recommended by the WHO, with adverse effects on health and the economy, according to a report published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) on Wednesday 16 October.
It is based on the latest data from more than 4,000 monitoring stations in Europe in 2017 and highlights that particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ground-level ozone (O3) are the most harmful.
