A new European Environment Agency (EEA) report, Revealing the costs of air pollution from industrial facilities in Europe, assesses the damage costs to health and the environment caused by pollutants emitted from industrial facilities. Using the latest information publicly available from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR), the report provides valuable insights into the countries, sectors and individual facilities whose air pollution causes most harm in Europe. The cost in 2009 of damage caused by emissions from E-PRTR industrial facilities is estimated as being at least EUR 102–169 billion.
