The EU’s limits on particulate matter are being violated across the continent, according to the European Environment Agency’s latest ‘Term’ report.
The current daily limit is 35 micrograms per cubic metre for PM10, but that figure was exceeded at 30% of Europe’s urban traffic air pollution monitoring points in 2009, including major cities in Poland, Italy, Sweden and Latvia.

The Commission has launched infringement proceedings against a number of member states.
