GDP-related air pollution exposure inequalities between regions in Europe
Air pollution poses the greatest environmental risk to health in Europe. Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) causes more premature deaths in Europe than any other air pollutant. Despite improving trends in air pollution in both the richest and poorest regions of the European Union over the 2007-2022 period, inequalities remain with PM 2.5 concentrations consistently higher by around one third in the poorest regions.

Population-weighted concentrations (micrograms per cubic meter) of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) in the richest and poorest NUTS3 regions in the EU-27, 2007-2020
The figure shows the annual average population weighted concentration of PM₂.₅ in the poorest quintile (upper line) and richest quintile (lower line) of NUTS3 regions in the EU, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power standard.
Ratio of population-weighted concentrations of PM₂.₅ in EU NUTS3 regions in the most deprived quintile relative to those in the least deprived quintile, 2007-2020
The graph shows the ratio of the annual average population weighted concentration of PM₂.₅ in the poorest quintile divided by that of the richest quintile of NUTS3 regions in the EU, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power standard, per year.
