EU cuts sulphur and nitrogen emissions but ozone lags
Original: Die # EU hat Schwefel- und Stickoxidemissionen deutlich gesenkt. Beim bodennahen # Ozon ist der Fortschritt jedoch gerin
The EU has significantly reduced sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions, according to new assessments of air quality policy. Progress on ground-level ozone, however, remains limited. Rising heatwaves driven by the climate crisis could worsen ozone pollution, prompting calls to phase out fossil combustion and cut further ozone precursor emissions.
Why now: Fresh debate over EU air quality progress and the link between heatwaves and ozone pollution.
