Annual Report 2016

Air quality

Having air quality linked to respiratory health as a priority when the EU adopted the National Emission Ceilings directive in 2016 was a milestone achievement to which we have intensively campaigned (#cleanairnow). Through our Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) membership, we channelled the views of the asthma and COPD patients, and we conveyed our urgent need to improve indoor air quality to the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
