Air pollution is 'biggest environmental health risk' in Europe

Governments are failing to tackle the crisis that causes 1,000 early deaths a day, says damning EU report

Air pollution is now "the biggest environmental risk" to public health in Europe but governments are failing to adequately deal with the crisis, the EU Court of Auditors has found.

Europe's air pollution limits are "much weaker" than WHO guidelines - and most EU countries do not comply with them anyway, according to the damning new report.
