EEA - Reports - Air pollution at street level in European cities - English
Traffic-related air pollution is still one of the most pressing
problems in urban areas. Evidence of the adverse health effects of fine
particulate matter is continuously emerging and it is alarming that
most of the traffic-related emissions are in the fine particulates
range ( PM2.5). Human exposure to increased pollutant
concentrations in densely populated urban areas is high. The
improvement of air quality is therefore imperative. Air quality limit
values, which are aimed at protecting public health,
are frequently exceeded especially in streets and
other urban hotspots.
