3. Human health and the environment
The environment in which we live and work has profound implications for human health and wellbeing. In 2021, the EEA delivered data and information to improve knowledge of the health impacts caused by air, water and soil pollution, as well as those caused by noise, chemicals and Europe's changing climate. This included:
- Support to the Zero Pollution Action Plan
- Data on air pollutants and emissions in support of the National emissions reduction commitments and Ambient air quality directives
- Launch of a new web portal to support noise reporting
- Support to the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, including a briefing on ‘safe and sustainable by design’ principles
