Geographic sources of ozone air pollution and mortality burden in Europe

H. Achebak, R. Garatachea, et al.

This study reveals that ground-level ozone is a major contributor to premature mortality in Europe, with a staggering 88.3% of ozone-attributable deaths stemming from imported ozone. Authors Hicham Achebak, Roger Garatachea, María Teresa Pay, Oriol Jorba, Marc Guevara, Carlos Pérez García-Pando, and Joan Ballester emphasize the need for coordinated strategies at national and global levels to meet WHO air-quality standards.
