"Europeans are worried about the effect of air pollution on health and the environment, according to a special Eurobarometer survey published today. Most also think that industry, public authorities and employers need to do more to improve air quality. Respondents clearly favour an international or European approach to improving air quality and a large majority of the respondents who have heard of EU air quality standards say that they should be strengthened. Key findings of the survey:
•Concern about health and environmental impact of air pollution;
•Perception that air quality has worsened;
•Support for strengthening EU air quality standards;
•Support for more action to promote air quality, especially at international level;
