Copenhagen: A study by the European Environment Agency revealed air pollution’s grave threat, especially in cities, linking both short- and long-term exposure to diseases.
WHO highlights air pollution’s ties to stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc., with PM2.5 being a major concern. Children are particularly vulnerable, lacking influence on policies.
In 2020, EU saw 238,000 premature deaths from PM2.5, a 45% decrease since 2005.
Energy consumption is a key source, but emissions dropped significantly from 2005 to 2020.
WHO and EU introduce new guidelines to tackle pollution, aiming for a 55% reduction in premature deaths by 2030.
Positive trends suggest reaching zero pollution target by 2032, a vital step in combating air pollution’s harmful effects.
