Abstract: In the most Member States, the EU citizen’s quality of life continues to be affected because the air quality standards are not yet met. The situation is serious, especially in urban areas, where most Europeans live. The EU has been working for decades to improve air quality by controlling emissions of hazardous substances into the atmosphere with the aim to reduce air pollution to levels that minimize harmful effects on human health and the environment throughout the EU. Air pollution goes beyond national borders and therefore coordination at EU level is important. EU laws in force leave up to the Member States to choose the means to comply with the limit values agreed at EU level.
