The new ranking of the most polluted cities in the UE.

Kamil Kuchta 16. February 2019
According to the latest WHO report, Vidin in Bulgaria is the most polluted city of the European Union. 36 out of 50 cities in the ranking are in Poland. Protests and government subsidies to buy new heating stoves did not help. The situation is still deteriorating.

 The statistics compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO) concern 4,300 cities around the world. The research is based on the annual average level of particulate matter dust that trads us, leading to diseases such as asthma, lung cancer or heart disease. Nine out of ten people around the world breathe poisoned air.

The cleanest city in Europe is. It is located in the north of Finland, and the average level of PM2,5 does not exceed 2g / m3 there. No country in the EU meets the WHO guidelines. The best in the ranking are Finland, Estonia and Sweden. Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. The European Environment Agency’s European Air Quality Index allows users to understand more about air quality where they live. Displaying up-to-the-minute data for the whole of Europe, users can gain new insights into the air quality of individual countries, regions and cities. (Check the map here!)

Watch out for cancer!

Benzo(a)pyrene, for which maximum levels are listed, is used as a marker for the occurrence and effect of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It causes cancer and cardiovascular disease, and may be responsible even for lowering the intelligence quotient in children. Benzo (a) pyrene is a component of car exhaust, cigarette smoke, but most of all its huge amounts are in smoke from heating furnaces. This substance is released when burning wood, coal, especially of inferior quality, and rubbish, especially PET plastics.

“An effective way to reduce emissions? Do not smoke using rubbish. This is relatively simple, because people who smoke with poor quality fuel are the main culprits. People burn everything: varnished boards, plastic bottles, wellington boots…” – says Maciek Ryś, a well-known Polish activist fighting against SMOG
