EC launches a public consultation on Air quality – revision of EU rules
As clean air is essential for our health and that of the environment, the European Commission has launched a public consultation on air quality. The aim is to set standards that avoid the buildup of excessive pollution concentrations. As part of the European Green Deal, the EU is revising these standards, to align them more closely with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. The initiative is also finalized at improving overall EU legislation for clean air, building on the lessons learnt from last year’s evaluation (‘fitness check’) of EU rules in this field.
