A visual entitled 'Reducing air pollution in EU saves lives'. It compares the reduction of pollutants from all sectors to the decrease in early deaths between 2005 and 2021. The top three pollutants reduced are Ammonia (-12%) Fine particulate matter (-27%) and Nitrogen oxides (-47%). The main emitting sectors for these pollutants are Agriculture, domestic heating and transport, respectively. The decrease in early deaths was -41% in 2023, forecasted to reach -66% by 2030.

🪂 We cannot survive without air– it should be clean.
While air quality has improved in the last two decades, it is still the largest environmental health risk in Europe.
We are reducing the emissions of major pollutants with EU action:
🔹 The EU Ambient Air Quality Directives,
🔹 The #ZeroPollution Action Plan,
🔹 The National Emission reduction Commitments Directive sets commitments for five major air pollutants.
Our #EUDataCrunch takes a closer look at how it will save lives. 👇
