Abstract
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has recently developed the European Environment and Health Atlas: an online platform [1] to reveal the air quality where we live, noise levels, green areas, and the quality of bathing sites. It is one of the tools set up by EEA to monitor the quality of the environment in Europe as part of policies to achieve zero pollution. It will be updated regularly and is open to user feedback. It is possible to obtain information on the air quality in our environment by clicking on a map or entering our address, thus obtaining indications of annual averages for PM2.5 , NO2 and Ozone and displaying the concentration of the pollutants as well as the number of people exposed to them, the number of preventable premature deaths and the number of life years lost. There is also the measure of noise monitoring level (not available for Italian locations), bathing water quality and the green area closest to your residence. In this issue of Environment and Health news there are various articles of the effects of air pollution on the vulnerable population (pregnant women and children), so the atlas is an excellent way to learn about the quality of the air we breathe every day in the places where we live and work. In this journal we continue to summarize the main articles published in the monitored journals, all articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a brief commentary. This issue is based on the systematic monitoring of publications in March and April 2023.
