Health at a Glance 2020: Public Health Issues Part 2
Air Pollution and Its Impact on Health in Europe

Health at a Glance 2020: Public Health Issues Part 1Air pollution is the main environmental risk factor for health in Europe and around the world. It has substantial health, economic and welfare consequences, including ill-health and greater premature mortality, increased health care costs, as well as reduced labour productivity and economic output in some sectors (e.g. agriculture and forestry sectors). This OECD contribution reviews the health and welfare impacts of air pollution in Europe.

The main sources of air pollution arise from the burning of fossil fuels in energy production, transport and households, and from some industrial and agricultural activities. Depending on the methods of estimation, between
168 000 and 346 000 premature deaths across all EU member states in 2018 can be attributed to exposure to outdoor air pollution in the form of fine particles (PM2.5) alone. This represented 4% to 7% of all deaths in 2018... read more

European Health Union: A Greater Role for the EU in Health

As we continue to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and begin charting
a recovery course, we European Health Union: A Greater Role for the EU in Health can, and must, do better – now and in the future.
This crisis calls for “more Europe” - a greater role for the European
Union (EU) in health
, a renewed concentration on our shared core values, and the commitment to create a legal basis that can empower the EU to protect and secure health across the continent.  

The pandemic has spurred discussions about what was lacking in the EU response to COVID-19, and which prerequisites are needed to facilitate a strong and united response in the future. These conversations gave additional momentum to the creation of a bottom-up campaign for a European Health Union (EHU), which supports the vision of a EHU presented by the European Commission to strengthen solidarity, commonly address cross-border threats, and provide security for EU citizens. Yet, the EHU Initiative goes further than these goals and looks beyond COVID-19 by addressing longer-term and more comprehensive issues... read more
