News Marked improvement in Europe's air quality over past decade, fewer deaths linked to pollution Better air quality has led to a significant reduction of premature deaths over the past decade in Europe. However, the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) latest official data show that almost all Europeans still suffer from air pollution, leading to about 400,000 premature deaths across the continent.
News Cutting air pollution in Europe would prevent early deaths, improve productivity and curb climate change Europe’s air is getting cleaner but persistent pollution, especially in cities, still damages people’s health and the economy. The European Environment Agency’s (EEA) new analysis on air quality shows that exposure to air pollution caused about 400,000 premature deaths in the European Union (EU) in 2016.
News New initiative to measure outdoor air quality at schools across Europe Air pollution is a growing concern in Europe and globally. CleanAir@School initiative is putting focus on air quality around Europe’s schools by involving children, parents and teachers in measuring pollutant concentrations. The project is a joint initiative of the European Environment Agency and the European Network of the Heads of Environmental Protection Agencies.

Page Air pollution: how it affects our health Air pollution is a major cause of premature death and disease, and is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. Latest estimates by the European Environment Agency (EEA) show that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) continues to cause the most substantial health impacts.
Page Air quality concentrations Once air pollutants are released into the atmosphere they undergo a series of physical and chemical transformations to finally end up deposited on the ground, waters and vegetation, and are inhaled by humans and animals. Air quality is assessed by the concentrations of those pollutants in the ambient air.
Page Explore air pollution data The EEA gathers air pollution data from a wide range of sources. This page provides links to available data and information on Europe's air pollution.
