Parliament seals historic first citizen-led EU law on tap water

The European Parliament gave the final go-ahead to revised rules on Tuesday (15 December) that seek to update water quality parameters, in a bid to restore citizens’ trust in what comes out of the tap. The principle behind the updated directive on water for human consumption is simple: provide safe and affordable tap water to reduce the number of plastic bottles. But the importance of the Drinking Water Directive (DWD) goes beyond just promoting tap water as a cheaper and cleaner option for the environment than bottled water or just updating the parameters – it was a direct response to the “Right2Water” citizens’ initiative, signed by 1.6 million people.

Study Highlights Link Between Atmospheric Pollutants and COVID-19 Incidence

Study Highlights Link Between Atmospheric Pollutants and COVID-19 Incidence Written by AZoCleantechDec 17 2020 A thorough study targeted the probable connection between a low air quality index and COVID-19 spread in Italy, in Q2 of 2020. Image Credit: Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) Foundation. Led by the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) Foundation, the study points toward the possible short-term correlation between exposure to three familiar atmospheric pollutants (PM 10, PM 2) and COVID-19 incidence, lethality and mortality rates. It has been speculated that the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that caused the present pandemic outbreak, is associated with short-term and long-term exposure to atmospheric pollutants, mostly particulate matters (PMs).

Atmospheric pollution and COVID-19 spread in Italy

Atmospheric pollution and COVID-19 spread in Italy The spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the current pandemic outbreak, has been speculated to be linked to short-term and long-term atmospheric pollutants exposure, mainly particulate matters (PMs). It is in fact possible for people living in highly industrialized areas, therefore exposed to higher pollution levels, to show more severe symptoms. Further studies have pointed out that atmospheric pollutants can act as virus carriers and boost pandemic diffusion. A study recently published on Environmental Pollution searched for any potential short-term correlation between these two phenomena. The research led by the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) Foundation and carried out in collaboration with the University of Salento and the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) focused on the analysis of atmospheric pollutants concentrations (PM10, PM2.5, NO2) along with the spatio-temporal distribut
