According to the report of the European Environment Agency (EEA Report/No 21/2021), anthropogenic environmental pollution significantly affects the frequency of various diseases in Europe. Given that air pollution is considered a major environmental factor in Europe because it affects both ecosystem health and human health, which is consequently inseparably linked, this project investigates air pollution and other environmental components as well as risk to human health.
