Special feature: EU researchers tackle pollution for a cleaner, greener Europe! Innovative solutions for achieving a pollution-free Europe, how a feisty SME adapted its cutting-edge diagnostic technology to aid in the fight against COVID-19 and celebrating the launch of Europe’s largest ever astronomy network. Pollution affects us all, from the air we breathe, to the water we drink, to the food we eat. Sometimes it may not be very noticeable that we’re breathing in polluted air, for example, but pollution is actually the largest environmental cause of multiple mental and physical diseases, as well as premature deaths, particularly amongst children, people with certain medical conditions and elderly citizens. In Europe, noise pollution is the type of pollution most commonly complained about by citizens, but odour pollution is also a regular bugbear for many. However, it is poor air quality that is arguably the most pressing environmental challenge in many European countries – according to one 2018 report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), poor air quality is responsible for over 400 000 premature deaths in the EU each year. In this month’s special feature, we meet seven EU-funded projects under the Horizon 2020 programme that have been at the forefront of efforts to tackle the scourge of environmental pollutants, including air, odour, marine and tap water contaminants. From innovative apps that help to put citizens in the driving seat to enact positive change to cutting-edge sensors and other devices that can monitor and actively reduce pollution, these projects show that there are many imaginative and technological solutions to a pressing challenge that truly impacts all of us… whether we’re really aware of it or not.
