Air pollution is one of the main causes of dead around the World, with negative effects linked with exposition in the short and long term. Recently some studies have searched connections also with the pandemic Covid-19. In order to analyze this potential association at Italian level, it is needed to investigate the whole Country, included urban and not urban areas.
Thanks to better air quality, around 60,000 fewer people died prematurely due to fine particulate matter pollution in 2018, compared with 2009. However, the European Environment Agency's (EEA) latest official data show that almost all Europeans still suffer from air pollution, leading to about 400,000 premature deaths across the continent.
Ispra is co-organizator of the event, aimed to disseminate the One Health vision and approach, based on the awareness of the complex relationships between environmental, animal and human health.
The European Agency publish the report "Healthy environment, healthy lives: how the environment influences health and well-being in Europe" In 2012, 13 % of all deaths in the EU were attributable to the environment. These deaths are preventable and can be significantly reduced through efforts to improve environmental quality. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a stark example of the inextricable links between human health and ecosystem health. Other factors, such as exposure to air pollution and social status, seem to affect transmission and mortality rates in ways that are not yet fully understood. A significant percentage of the disease burden in Europe continues to be attributed to environmental pollution from human activity. According to the EEA report " Healthy environment, healthy lives: how the environment influences health and well-being in Europe " which draws heavily on World Health Organization data on the causes of death and disease, the quality of the European environment plays a key role in determining our health and well-being
