"The European Union is set to propose tougher legal limits on toxic air
pollution, according to the bloc’s top environmental official.
The proposition also includes rules that would make pharmaceutical companies
pay to clean up wastewater that is polluted by their products.
Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius told Reuters on Wednesday that
three laws are being proposed to target damaging air and water pollution. This
includes a requirement for EU countries to meet new legally binding air
pollution limits by 2030.
It will bring EU air quality standards closer to the latest World Health
Organisation (WHO) recommendations and give local authorities more power to
clean up their air.
The new rules could also allow citizens to claim compensation if they suffer
the health effects of illegal pollution."
