More information

The continue green line and dots show the number of premature deaths attributed to exposure to PM2.5 above the WHO air quality guideline level of 5µg/m3, in the period 2005-2021. They show in 2021 a reduction of 41% of the deaths in 2005.
The blue dot represents the Zero Pollution Action Plan (ZPAP) target for 2030: 55% reduction of the premature deaths in 2005.

Methodology:

The number of premature deaths have been calculated according to methodology described in EEA's briefing Assessing the risks to health from air pollution (https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/assessing-the-risks-to-health/assessing-the-risks-to-health) and the ETC-EH Eionet report 2022/10 (https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-he/products/etc-he-products/etc-he-reports/etc-he-report-2022-10-health-risk-assessment-of-air-pollution-and-the-impact-of-the-new-who-guidelines). The current calculations will be presented in the forthcoming Eionet report "Health risk assessment of air pollution: assessing the environmental burden of disease of air pollution in Europe in 2021".
