"The EEA has published its full ‘Air quality in Europe 2022
Briefing Air quality in Europe 2022’ assessment, presenting the status of air
quality in Europe, assessing the impacts of air pollution on health and
ecosystems, and identifying sources of emissions to air.

According to the EEA analysis, air pollution continues to pose significant
risks to health in Europe, causing chronic illness and premature deaths. In
2020, 96% of the EU’s urban population was exposed to concentrations of fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) above the WHO guideline level of 5 microgrammes per
cubic metre (µg/m3) of air. Air pollution also harms biodiversity and damages
agricultural crops and forests, causing major economic losses."
