Abstract

The last “Air quality in Europe” report by the European Environmental Agency (EEA 2015) foresees almost five millions of years of life lost (YOLL) in the 28 EU Member States due to the high concentrations of PM2.5. YOLLs are an estimate of the average years that a person would have lived if he or she had not died prematurely, giving greater weight to deaths at a younger age and lower weight to deaths at an older age. For the 507.4 million inhabitants of EU, this means an average loss of more than 3 days each year.
