Clean Industrial Deal: EU Healthy Air Coalition calls for Clean Air Deal

The letter highlights that air pollution remains the top environmental risk to health in Europe, resulting in hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and hundreds of billions of euros of costs annually. Everyone is vulnerable to harm caused by air pollution and our level of vulnerability is outside of individual control, as it evolves with age, health condition, socio-economic status, as well as where we live, study, or work.

Despite the huge disease burden caused by air pollution, most of the health and economic impacts of air pollution are preventable.
