The European Environment Agency (EEA) has revealed that if the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines had been followed, almost all human lives lost in the EU during 2019 could have been saved.
The European Environment Agency said in a new report that air pollution caused more than 370,000 deaths in the European Union in 2019 and that at least half of them could have been saved from untimely deaths.
The report also details the deadly particles in the atmosphere of EU member states. The report states that air quality was measured by the amount of fine particles, especially nitrogen dioxide and then ozone on the ground.
