cleaner rivers and lakes, groundwater and coastal beaches has led the European
Commission to make water protection one of its priorities. The European Water
Framework Directive (WFD) was established to protect and improve water quality

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF INDOOR AIR
Air pollution is harmful to public health, damages biodiversity and contributes to
climate change. The EU has developed legislation to improve health and
environmental quality. However, while significant progress has been made in
improving outdoor
air quality, indoor pollutants have received less attention. Given
that many people spend the majority of their time indoors, research is urgently
needed to enable
the regulation, assessment and improvement of indoor air quality.
