More than unsafe
according to findings of a study commissioned by the European Union ( eu), E uropeans are constantly being exposed to unsafe amounts of ground-level ozone. "The threshold set for the protection of human health is exceeded substantially and in all member states,' reported the Copenhagen-based European Environment Agency ( eea ), which provides the data on which eu environmental legislation is based.
More than 90 per cent of all eu citizens were exposed to ozone levels above the limits recommended by the World Health Organisation at least once in 1995, the eea said. The report concentrates on the period 1994 to 1996
