The European parliament agreed on Wednesday to limit the concentration of several dangerous substances to levels put forward by the World Health Organization (WHO). But after a fierce backlash from centre-right politicians, it decided to push back the date for meeting the WHO\u2019s limits by five years.<\/p>\n<p>Almost everyone in Europe\u2019s urban areas breathes air containing enough fine particles to breach the WHO\u2019s yearly guideline level of 5 \u00b5g\/m3. The particles, known as PM2.5, are small enough to pass into the bloodstream, where they spread through the body and damage organs. Scientists and doctors estimate that outdoor air pollution \u2013 including other harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ozone \u2013 kills 300,000 people in Europe each year.<\/p>\n<p>The update to the air quality law, the details of which will now be finalised in negotiations with the European Council, was passed by 363 votes in favour to 226 votes against. The centre-right European People\u2019s party (EPP) grouping, to which the European Commission president and European Green Deal champion, Ursula von der Leyen belongs, voted against the proposal. As well harming human health, dirty air holds back economies because governments have to spend more on healthcare and workers take more days off sick. The European Commission found in a report that full compliance with the WHO limits for PM2.5 by 2030 would boost the economy more than weaker rules would.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/sep\/13\/eu-air-pollution-limits-2035\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-397\/\">\u2018A lifeline for dirty cars\u2019: EU backs new air pollution limits, but not until 2035<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1863,536,575,274],"class_list":["post-116841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-1863","tag-air-pollution","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
