Abstract

Despite slow progress, according to updated data and information released by the European Environment Agency, air pollution continues to surpass the limits and values set out in the guidelines of the European Union and the World Health Organisation (EEA). There is also a threat to human health and the atmosphere from air pollution. In the environment, people breathe incessantly, and the presence of toxins is very harmful for human health. Many international organizations and governments have introduced a set of regulations to keep the level of pollutants low as a result of the frightening increase in air pollution, especially in large urban areas. According to the EEA report entitled Air Quality in Europe - Report 2018, road transport is one of the main sources of air pollution in Europe, especially harmful pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and suspended dust. Air pollution is also aided by emissions from agriculture, electricity production, manufacturing and households. The goal of this article is to highlight the key sources of air pollution, to compare the particular indicators in Romania with those in Germany and France, and to highlight some potential solutions or mechanisms for pollution prevention and control.
