AIR POLLUTION RESPONSIBILITY OF MEMBER STATES
Abstract
The European directives on air pollution liability have undergone several substantial changes. The approval in October 2024 of a new directive has highlighted the problems present in the previous directives. This study analyses how they were addressed and proposes possible further innovative solutions. The definitions of environmental damage contained in Article 2 of Directive 2004/35/EC allow for the delimitation of legal areas and critical issues in the field of environmental pollution. The results indicate that there are still significant challenges in the practical application of the laws. To address these issues, the work proposes alternative solutions, such as the implementation of advanced monitoring systems, public awareness initiatives, virtuous models of renewable energy production and the adoption of sustainable technologies. These approaches could not only reduce environmental damage, but also promote greater responsibility among businesses and citizens, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment in Europe. The aim of this study is to call for a step-by-step approach to meeting current and future EU air pollution standards by setting air quality standards for 2030 aligned with the latest WHO air quality guidelines to guarantee the right of human beings to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.
